Dear Brother James:
We
can hardly express our appreciation to you for the great things God
has done to our church. Our place was shaken. Revival has come to our church. Salvation
became a reality to many. Our dreams are coming true.
What a great God we serve. Thank you for giving to us your
precious time, effort, and even your own money in order that we can
have revival and precious souls saved in our area. Our hearts
are crying out with joy. Words of thanksgiving are not enough
to express our gratitude to you. God is just awesome, wonderful,
and amazing. We are looking forward to the next time you can
come again to this other side of the globe and minister to us once
more.
My family and the entire church express our sincere “Thank
you.”

Dear Brother,
Jim
Belisle has done what I expected him to do. He has been tremendously
used of God in missionary excursions to the regions beyond. Hundreds
upon hundreds of people have been saved, missionaries have been encouraged
and God has gotten the glory.
We
are so glad that we can have a part in his support and I want to
encourage you to use him. You will find him to be a good preacher
and, by the way, and excellent soloist, that you can use in your
services. If
your song leader is gone, he is also a good song leader.
Jim
Belisle is a happy, blessed man of God with an excellent family that’s
worthy of your support. I sure hope you’ll consider to
at least giving him a chance to share what God has done through him.

Dear Brother,
I
am heartily recommending to you my good friend and co-laborer, Missionary-Evangelist
Jim Belisle. Brother Belisle is a man of God, and I know he will be a
blessing to you and your people. If it would be possible, you could
have him for a missions conference, a family conference, or to teach soul winning
in your church.
Brother
Jim Belisle has traveled three times with me to the former USSR. He
is a fervent preacher of God’s Word and has a tremendously big heart
for souls. This man loves the Lord and his sole desire is to see Christians
edified and lost souls won to Jesus. I promise you that he would be a
great blessing to you and your church. I do not believe I have ever seen
a more intense and dedicated preacher of the Gospel than Jim Belisle. In
our three trips to the former USSR, I have watched him pour his heart out to
the dear people. He preaches with a broken heart and with the power of
God. I believe Brother Belisle would be a great blessing during a missions
conference.
God
has called Brother Belisle to be a missionary evangelist. He
needs support in this area of the Lord’s work. He knows
that God wants him to go to mission fields to help pastors build
a work. Brother Belisle has
a very fine and dedicated family. He is not only a great Christian,
a great preacher of the Bible, a tremendous soul winner, but also
a good family man. He would be an asset to the ministries of
those who support him.

Dear Pastor,
It
is my privilege to recommend heartily the ministry of James Belisle. We
had Bro. Belisle as the key speaker for our first Missions Conference. Bro.
Belisle did a tremendous job in helping our people to understand
the Bible way of “Faith Promise Missions”. As a
result of the Conference we have tripled our giving for the year
2001. Bro. Belisle has the ability
to explain Faith Promise Missions, and the ability to encourage people
in their personal giving. Bro. Belisle will approach any Conference
with the desire to encourage the Pastor, and to encourage the people.
It is my conviction that the Lord
has called and equipped Bro. Belisle to minister to local churches
across the globe in the area of Biblical Missions. Please prayerfully consider having Bro. James Belisle
minister to you, and your local church.

My Dear Brother,
May
I heartily recommend my long time friend, Bro. Jim Belisle. I
recently had him at our church for a mission conference and what
a tremendous time we had in the Lord! Bro. Jim’s preaching
was strong and powerful but from a heart of deep compassion.
The
three goals for our conference were:
(1) that God would help us reach our financial goals for the upcoming
year in missions, (2) that the Lord would expand our folks’ vision
for missions (have a heart for missions as well as financial contributions)
and (3) that Christ would speak to our people about what they could
do personally for missions. The Lord met and exceeded our expectations.
Missionary-Evangelist
work is a greatly needed ministry. What missionary on the foreign
field would not be blessed and encouraged by an evangelist who comes
to his field for a while and co-labors with him in soul winning,
church planting and helping train his people? We take for granted
that we at home have evangelists available for revivals and special
meetings but most missionaries do not have that privilege. Bro.
Jim’s ministry fulfills that need. He
is exciting and he is an encourager. Bro. Belisle must raise
his support as any missionary. May I encourage you to consider
supporting him, have him present his work, or use him for a mission
conference. I assure
you that you will not be disappointed. I have known Bro. Jim
for 20 years and as others have dipped their sails or steered in
other directions, he has stayed by the stuff, kept the faith and
continued soulwinning.
Thank
you for your time and please, Bro. Belisle’s heart is on the
mission fields not having to raise support so any consideration that
you would give him, I would deeply appreciate.

Dear Pastor,
It
has been my privilege to have known and observed the lives of Brother
and Mrs. Belisle for
nearly twenty-five years. If I were looking for a visual definition
of consistency and dependability, I could
easily point to this fine couple. They have “stayed by
the stuff” and continue to this day.
We
at Fundamental Baptist Missions International are very pleased to
have Brother Belisle represent us as he travels for the cause of
foreign missions. I certainly can commend him highly to you.
He will encourage your church for missions. I hope
you will consider having him in your church and
Christian School.
Please
feel free to call me if you have any questions. I will be happy
to help you.

Dear Pastor,
I
am so pleased to write this letter to you recommending the person
and ministry of Brother James Belisle. We have known Brother Belisle since our days
together in the “dorms” at Hyles-Anderson College over 25 years
ago. I have observed him in the bus ministry, the classroom, our “home
away from home,” and in the ministry for these past 25 years. I
feel comfortable in our association with Brother Belisle.
I am privileged to see the children who have been
trained by Brother and Mrs. Belisle. Three of the four children are or have been
students at Hyles-Anderson College. Two of those children also
serve on our college staff. We think highly here of the entire
Belisle family.
I am so happy about having Brother
Belisle represent us in churches and Christian schools. I hope you are able to have him. I
am confident he will help and strengthen what you are trying to do – especially
in the area of foreign missions. Thank you for your interest. I
trust FBMI will also be a blessing and help to your church.
Dr. Jack Schaap, Pastor
First Baptist Church, Hammond, IN
