Dear Brethren:
"I am happy to recommend Brother Norman Stevens as a local church evangelist. I have observed him from the standpoint of a college teacher and a pastor, and I deeply appreciate what I have seen of Norman in both situations.
"As one of Norman's college teachers, I am convinced that no one in my acquaintance has worked so hard to achieve academically or made so much improvement as he has. His discipline and diligence to learn was remarkable. His work was always meticulous and almost flawless. It was a delight to have him in class.
"As his pastor, I was impressed that Norman was faithful in soul-winning, faithful in the services, a great encourager, and a willing servant. He never gave me reason to doubt his loyalty or question his commitment to Christ and the local church.
"Brother Norman is a gifted, sincere preacher of God's Word. He studies thoroughly and preaches passionately. He will be a blessing to any fundamental Baptist church. I highly recommend his character and gifts for the ministry."
Yours in Christ,
Dr. Charles L. Surrett
Pastor
