PASTORAL RECOMMENDATION

---

Dear Pastor, Ministry Leader, Student, and Friends in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I write to you today with a full heart and a deep burden to introduce a ministry I truly believe God has raised up for this hour: Gospel Partners Serving ('GPS'), led by Brother Reiner Gonzalez and his team.

It is one of the greatest privileges of my life to serve as Reiner’s pastor and to be the sending church for this ministry. I do not say that lightly. 

I have watched this man live his faith consistently. I have observed his family walk closely with God. 

I have seen his integrity, humility, discipline, and unwavering devotion to Christ. Simply put, this ministry is the real deal.

Reiner Gonzalez is uniquely shaped by God for this season. The Lord has used every experience in his life to mold him into the servant he is today. He is intellectually gifted, biblically grounded, and deeply committed to the authority of Scripture. Having studied God’s Word extensively in both English and Spanish, he communicates truth with clarity and conviction. 

More importantly, he does not merely know Scripture; he lives it. His family reflects that same spiritual commitment. When you meet the Gonzalez family, you do not simply meet missionaries, you encounter a living testimony of God’s grace, joy, peace, and purpose at work. 

In my years of ministry, I have rarely seen such a genuine burden for souls. This family has truly given themselves to the work of the Gospel. Nearly everything entrusted to them flows back into reaching others for Christ. If the Apostle Paul were ministering today, I honestly believe Reiner Gonzalez would be one of his counterparts reaching the Spanish-speaking world.

We live in a day when some ministries have grown comfortable, some careless, and some lacking accountability or urgency. GPS stands in contrast, marked by integrity, transparency, faithfulness, sacrifice, and a steadfast commitment to the Great Commission. They are not building a personal platform; they are building the Kingdom. They are not pursuing comfort; they are pursuing souls. They are not chasing applause; they are investing in eternity. Through this ministry, the Gospel is advancing into major mission fields, particularly throughout the Hispanic world where many remain open and searching for the truth of Jesus Christ.

I ask you first to pray for protection, power, provision, open doors, and lasting fruit. I also ask you to consider giving, not from pressure or guilt, but from obedience and vision. What you invest in this ministry will echo in eternity.

Students, I challenge you: give God your life fully. Let Him send you, stretch you, and use you. Pastors and churches, I urge you: partner with us. Pray with us. Share the burden. Send teams. Support this work. Let your people see the mission field firsthand. Consider hosting Brother Gonzalez. Consider organizing mission trips. Consider walking alongside us in this urgent task. Eternity is long, life is short, souls are precious, and time is urgent. We cannot delay. We cannot remain silent. The gospel must go forward, and it must go now.

I have seldom witnessed anyone more burdened for the lost than Reiner Gonzalez and his family. Their lives preach a sermon. Their ministry burns with purpose. Their calling is unmistakable.

So I ask you prayerfully: Will you partner with us? Will you pray? Will you give? Will you go? Will you help us reach people before eternity closes the door?

On behalf of our church and ministry family, thank you for your time, your heart, and your love for Christ. It is our joy to stand with GPS , and we invite you to stand with us for His glory and for the souls of men.

In Christ,
Pastor Steve
