To whom it may concern,
When talent and passion combine, you get effective ministry. That is certainly what Jimmy Davis offers in his evangelistic ministry. First of all, Jimmy’s love of Christ and his passion to see others come to a saving knowledge of Christ constitutes who he is. He is genuine and authentic in his faith and witness. I have especially appreciated Jimmy’s biblical knowledge and ability to covey biblical insights. There is no one he is unable to communicate with.
Also, Jimmy has a gifted talent both as a communicator and musician. His winsome manner engages listeners and offers an appealing presentation. Jimmy’s musical talent is second to none, and has been recognized by many in the Christian musical arena.
It is indeed my privilege to know Jimmy, to have worked along side him and to know him as a brother in Christ.

It has been a privilege to serve in ministry with Jimmy and his family. They are all great servants to everyone they come in contact with. For several years, I have had the pleasure of having Jimmy as a member of our Crusade Staff in several of the Franklin Graham Festivals and Will Graham Celebrations across the U.S.
During our time together, my wife and I have seen Jimmy’s dedication to reaching people with the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ. He is an anointed musician and singer. We also have had the privilege of attending many of his services where he has ministered to crowds large or small. His passion for people, his love for the gospel, his musical “gift” has ministered to hundreds across this land. My wife and I love to sit under his ministry, knowing that the Lord will speak a word “in due season” through His servant – Jimmy Davis.
I strongly recommend Jimmy Davis as a minister both in preaching and in song to everyone. You are in for a “real treat” when you invite Jimmy to be a part of your ministry. Get ready for a great time in the LORD!

Dear Pastor,
It has been my privilege to be a pastor to Jimmy Davis. As a young man Jimmy received a calling to do the work of an evangelist and be a bearer of Good News . Since then he has consistently proclaimed God’s message of love, acceptance and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
I have watched God’s grace grow Jimmy into a balanced and seasoned man of God with an obvious anointing of encouragement through music and preaching.
Jimmy keeps the main thing the main thing - lifting up Jesus Christ as Lord ! Through him the Holy Spirit will refresh and build up God’s people for His kingdom.
It is a joy to recommend him to you and your church.
Sincerely,

Jimmy is enthusiastic and energetic in his presentation of the gospel and desires to serve the Lord with his whole heart.
I know that you will be blessed by Jimmy’s ministry as he seeks to glorify the Lord and spread the good news of Jesus Christ. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.

Dear Friend,
I am privileged to recommend to you a good friend and partner in ministry, Evangelist Jimmy Davis. I have known Brother Davis for several years. He has been a tremendous blessing to me personally as well as to our church. We have been ministered to in an unusual way through the phenomenal music and extraordinary preaching of Brother Jimmy during Revival meetings.
He has filled in for me on several occasions and I always have the utmost confidence in him. He is a great encouragement to me as a Pastor. Our church has supported him financially for the past few years and we count it an honor to do so. Please consider how Evangelist Jimmy Davis and his ministry can be a blessing to you and your church.
Sincerely,

Dear Pastors and Friends,
May I introduce myself to you? I am O.D. Morgan and I have been in the Pastorate for over thirty-seven years. I recently pastored Calvary Baptist Church in Radford, VA and was there for over 15 years before retiring in 2013.
Being in the ministry I know what an important part music plays in our worship services. One of the finest and most unusual voices I have ever been priviledged to hear is that of Brother Jimmy Davis. He has blessed my heart and those in my congregation many times. His humble, sweet spirit added to his beautiful voice makes for a worshipful experience.
I highly recommend this dear brother to you (for preaching or singing) for your regular church services, evangelistic services or any special meeting you may be considering.

Dear Follower of Christ,
I had the privilege of meeting Rev. Jimmy Davis during the 2007 Franklin Graham Festival here in Hampton Roads, Virginia. We became friends in Christ and Jimmy has preached and sang at our church on several occasions. I have found him to be a dedicated disciple of Christ and a preacher that preaches the Word of God without compromise. He is also a man that can be depended upon to uplift the Pastor and ministry of the local church; and to encourage the saints to live for Jesus and share their faith.
Jimmy is a blessing from God. I recommend him to you without any hesitation. You will be blessed by his ministry as he magnifies our Lord Jesus in word, deed and song. Our people love and respect him.
His servant and yours,

Dear Brethren in Christ,
This is a letter of recommendation in regards to Jimmy Davis and the ministry of Jesus Christ thru him.
We have been honored to have Jimmy serve Christ and minister to us at Fellowship Chapel in numerous capacities. He has led our praise in our Family Worship, he has done men's functions, leadership retreats, concerts, Missions Conferences, and powerfully proclaimed the Gospel of Christ in worship in such a way as to call men and women to come to Christ and to become like Christ! We have been spiritually blessed thru Christ by the Holy Spirit in Jimmy's praise and proclamation ministry. I would highly recommend him to any church family desiring Christ and His glory! (I could make no higher recommendation.)
Jimmy is a spiritual man with a Christ centered focus who is faithful and fruitful to God's glory!
If I could ever answer any inquiries concerning Jimmy and his ministry it will be my pleasure!
Sincerely in and thru Christ,
Michael L Kinley, Pastor retired

Dear Pastor,
I have had the privilege of knowing Jimmy since childhood. We were together playing ball, singing, working Sunday School Bus Routes, serving in Junior Church, serving in Senior Home Ministry, going on door-to-door visitation, and more. As a young man he served the Lord everywhere he could. Even as a 12-year-old, he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up and his call to be an Evangelist has never been questioned by anyone I know.
We have had the privilege of having him in our services at Victory Baptist Church of Walhalla, SC multiple times in recent years and our members are always blessed by his ministry. I personally look forward to his coming each year and the encouragement he always provides to me as a Pastor.
He is a man with a heart for ministry, people, and God. I am confident that he will be a blessing to you and your flock.
In Christ,
