I am glad to take this opportunity to write on behalf of missionary Rob Kitchen.
The purpose of this leter is two-fold: first, to recommend Bro. Rob Kitchen to you as a worthy candidate for financial support. He believes God has called him to the mission field, specifically to reach the American Military personnel who are stationed at the Ramstein Airforce Base in Germany. Hillcrest Baptist Church will be his sending authority and we will receive and account for all funds donated to this worthwhile ministry.
Secondly, there is somewhat of an urgency to help Bro. Kitchen raise the needed support, as Bro. Craft (who is the current pastor of the church) has requested that Bro. Kitchen arrive on the field A.S.A.P. There is an opportunity to keep the work alive and vibrant if Bro. Kitchen is able to generate sufficient income to sustain him and his family in Germany.
I would ask you to prayerfully consider investing in this missionary who has proven himself worthy.

My wife and I began ministry in 1972. Then, in 1982, we surrendered to the mission field. We arrived in Spain in early 1984 and have ministered to the US military and their families as well as civilians since then. When you support a missionary to the military, you will find fruit abounding to your account. It is a fruitful field and provides many full- time servants for the mission field as well as many faithful families who are a blessing where the military sends them.
We are grateful that God has called Rob and Daci Kitchen to military missions. I met Rob Kitchen at Southwest Baptist Church a few years ago. He approached me about military missions at that time. Over these years, we have watched the Lord move them to surrender to military missions. Rob spent time in the military and understands military life. He and Daci also have ministry experience prior to attending Heartland Baptist Bible College (HBBC).
At HBBC, he has been properly taught and prepared for ministry. We are excited about the leadership of the Lord in their lives and the opportunity that God will provide for them to come alongside of us in ministry here for the purpose of mentoring them. It is our desire to work with them and then turn the current new church plant over to them.
We heartily recommend them to you! They would be worthy representatives of your church in military missions. The Kitchen family will be faithful laborers in the harvest.

I am writing to ask you to consider adding Rob and Daci Kitchen to your missionary family. They will be working with Gary and Karen Craft in Germany. The Crafts have almost forty years in military missions, have started another church in Germany and need a young couple to work with them and eventually take the work.
My heart is heavy for military missions, because I have been there. Briefly: I will never forget leaving my little wife and two-week-old son in a run-down trailer park without a car in Charleston, SC, a thousand miles from home. My wife was crying and I thought my heart would burst as I headed out the door early that morning to board my submarine for four months. I don’t think I could have borne my load without a good pastor and church to support her. If it is that hard in America, what is it like in a foreign country? Pastor, Acts 1:8 lists Jerusalem first in the missionary endeavor and our military is part of our Jerusalem, they just aren’t in Jerusalem. We have to go to them.
Rob and Daci come to us with recommendations from Bro Jason Gaddis, Jeff Copes and their sending pastor Bro Joe Dickinson in El Paso. Thank you for every missionary you support, but as you send them around the world, don’t forget our own whose lives are on the line daily.

It is with great joy that I recommend Rob and Daci Kitchen for your consideration as missionaries to the military in Germany. They have the wonderful opportunity to serve alongside veteran missionaries Gary and Karen Craft. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for all who serve our country overseas. It is my prayer that they may be reached with the gospel and begin to grow spiritually. Families such as the Kitchens make that possible.
The Kitchens have been a tremendous blessing to both Southwest Baptist Church and Heartland Baptist Bible College. They have the respect of church members and students alike. I believe they will be a real blessing to you and the church you serve. It is without any reservation that I recommend them for your consideration.
