"George Holley is a preacher who has the heart of an evangelist. He also has long term and effective experience as a pastor and a strong team player in his fellowship of churches. Add all of that to the excellent biblical insights, and George is a speaker who knows how to communicate to your congregation." --Dr. David W. Holdren, Eastern Area General Superintendent of the Wesleyan Church
"Seldom does a church have the opportunity to call on an evangelist who has the depth of preparation that Rev. George Holley brings to the ministry of evangelism. He served a long-term pastoral assignment of seventeen years at the Crown City Wesleyan Church in Crown City, OH. He began with a small congregation, went through growth, outreach, soul winning, building programs, and the development of local church ministries. He is leaving a church he loves because of a clear call of God to serve others. He has filled various assignments on demonational boards and ministries. You will find he can identify with churches of all sizes, encourage pastors with all types of challenges, relate to the saints and connect to the unsaved. Best of all, he has the ability to sense the moods and movings of the Holy Spirit whether in a church service or in a one on one conversation. Call him. He will serve the Lord and you with an anointed ministry. --Dr. Daniel L. Tipton, General Superintendent of the Churches of Christ in Christian Union
"Thank you so very much for sending me your resume and letter. I also
enjoyed listening to your cassette tape. Obviously the Lord has used you
mightily over the years. Your preaching is outstanding. I will have your
name available for our pastors as they seek someone to do evangelistic
services." -- Dr. Stephen F. Babby, District Superintendent of the Pacific
Southwest District of the Wesleyan Church
George Holley has always been a blessing to the people in Huntington, WV. He, along with his wife, were youth ministers at the Huntington First Wesleyan at the beginning of their ministry. Many in our congregation speak highly of the Holley family. George has always displayed godly character and a passion to proclaim the Word of God with carefulness and clarity. I highly recommend George to your church as you plan for special evangelistic meetings. He will be a blessing to your people, young and old.--Pastor Tim Jones, First Wesleyan Church, Huntington, WV, Pastor and Assist. District Superintendent of the Shenandoah District
It is my privilege to recommend Rev. George Holley as an effective
evangelist. He serves the local congregation well, perhaps because he has
spent the past 17 years in preparation as a pastor. We recently concluded a
six day meeting with him and it was obvious that he had waited before the
Lord to bring fresh and timely messages. George vibrantly and
enthusiastically communicates the Word of God to all ages, yet the preaching
comes from the heart of a pastor.
The last phrase of Rev. Holley's mission statement is "To proclaim the
Biblical message of holiness of heart and life to a contemporary society in
a culturally relevant way so as to see .....entire congregations encouraged
and challenged for victory over coldness and complacency." I believe this is
the biggest result that was seen from this series of meetings. Our
congregation of 120-130 had become complacent in reaching the lost, and the
Lord used the ministry of Rev, Holley to wake us up. He can do the same for
your congregation. -- Rev. Stephen Bordman, Senior Pastor of West Chester
Wesleyan Church
George has been in revival with us on three separate occasions. He has been faithful to the Word and is truly a man called to evangelism. In the last meeting God met with us in a very special way and there were seekers at every service. Those that were seeking God are now fruitful servants at First Wesleyan Church. Thank you for answering the call to evangelism and allowing God to use you!-- Rev. David Lord, Pastor; First Wesleyan Church, Lincolnton, NC
I'm having nameless reports from persons who have recently sat under your revival ministry and they have received help and encouragement from your messages. The pastors also expressed their gratitude for the way you have ministered to their people. I am not surprised. You are a godly man who has always lived the life you preach. Your integrity is unquestionable and your love for God is evident to all. Thanks for being a tool in the hands of the master.--Rev. Jeffrey A. Mansell; Dist. Supt. Of the Greater Ohio Dist. Of the Wesleyan Church
