"Dennis
Crawford not only is a surrendered servant of God, he is a genuinely
genuine man. He is one of the few people on this earth I would trust
with anything I have, including the safety of my family or the confidentiality
of my deepest secrets. Not only is he one of the most gifted writers
in the nation, he is just as gifted
when dealing with people one on one: He understands
them and knows their hearts. I heartily recommend him as a minister,
a Christian, a husband, and a man."

"Dennis
is a humble, compassionate servant of the Lord. He also serves God's
children. You get two for the price of one. Dennis preaches
with the people instead
of at the people..."

"Dennis'
writing and speaking style makes me think of one friend telling another,
'Hey, guess what cool thing I learned about God this week.' His disarming
presentation doesn't distract you from the real message. Instead,
he seems to step out of the way and let
the Word really speak to you. You find that you are a better
person for having listened."

up about the Lord... and he is into all kinds of ministry...
a very relate-able person and just a wonderful person to be around...
He is for changes in the church... that will grow God's kingdom."

"Dennis
truly has a unique talent. Growing up in the church it is easy for
church to become monotonous—hearing
the same stories and topics over the years. Dennis has a wonderful
gift of presenting these topics and Bible stories in a new light so
that they continue to be interesting. When I hear him speak he makes
me want to be a better person."

reached out and touched people in a way that most preachers don't...

"I
was raised in the church... fell about as far away from it as you
could ever get. Dennis just helped me to realize that it wasn't so
much as what people thought about it but it was what the Lord thought
about me and I'm trying to do better
with His help."

"In
knowing and serving with Dennis he has taught
me how to grow in my giving to God both financially and
spiritually. He has also shown me through his example how to reach
out and touch a certain part of our church family... He has the ability
to write things that come from his heart and allows me as a hearer
to see things in a different light.
This helps me in my position as an elder and most important as a Christian...
one of Dennis' greatest assets is his wife, Anna. She fully supports
him in his preaching duties and so often works with him side by side.
They both are loved and respected in this community."
