I am grateful for persons like you who have a heart for helping ministers and their families. Forced terminations have a terrible impact on both ministers and their families. ...

I had the privilege of meeting Benny Woods just a few years ago. In my brief encounters with him, I found him to be a man with a heart for God and a love for Christ and people. Certainly, no one would attempt such a demanding ministry as Benny is thinking of, without the Holy Spirit's leadership. It takes a man of compassion and stability to consider such an outreach. My sense is that Benny and Carolyn have that capability.

In Christ our Lord, Your fellow servant,

Jim Henry, Pastor,
First Baptist Church of Orlando, Florida

Dear Brother Benny:

I welcome the opportunity to endorse and recommend to others your ministry of ministering encouragement and restoration to wounded pastors and other ministry leaders. The body of Christ needs leaders who are healers. May God bless you and your ministry as you minister encouragement and restoration to those He will bring your way.

Joyous in serving Him,

Johnny M. Hunt, Pastor
First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Georgia

May God bless you and your wife in every way. This is such a needed ministry and all of us need to work together to provide everything possible.

In His love, James T. Draper, Jr.
President, Lifeway Christian Resources

Dear Pastor Benny:

In looking over your website, I want to say I am grateful that you've undertaken this endeavor and are doing so in a great way. The needs are overwhelming and I again am grateful you've chosen to minister to those who minister. The website is appealing and contains good information.... Working pastors and ministry staff to encourage and restore them in ministry is a worthy calling. I'm encouraged that you've responded to the call. I will not hesitate to call upon you and your ministry when the need arises.

Gratefully yours,

Roy Blankenship,
Minister of Communications and Counseling,
First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Georgia

I've had the privilege of knowing Benny Woods for over twenty years. He is a man who has a heart for God. His compassion for pastors was born in the fire of conflict in a local church. I understand that because I, too, have felt that same pain of rejection. God has uniquely called Benny and Carolyn to reach out to the multitude of pastors who have been deeply wounded in the ministry. Benny not only survived his wound, but God used it as the seed to call him to touch many lives. I look forward to partnering with him in this ministry.
