Dan Paxton, Pastor of Heartland Vineyard Church, Waterloo, IA
"Derk's teaching is down to earth, practical and yet wonderfully anointed.. If you want to mobilize your church for effective healing ministry and give people who have little experience with the gift of healing a gentle yet anointed taste, I would recommend the Stevenson's to you and your ministry."

Marty Boller, Pastor, Father's House Vineyard Church, Cedar Rapids, IA
"As a Vineyard pastor, I've always believed that the Kingdom-based healing ministry of Jesus is for us today. Over the last six years, we've tried various ways to develop & maintain healing ministry teams at our church, yet nothing has really seemed to have the long-term impact we've desired to see. In mid May, 2004 we invited Derk & Priscilla to come to Cedar Rapids for three evening sessions on LEARNING TO MINISTER LIKE JESUS."

Doug Stevenson, Pastor, Kremmling Community Church, Kremmling, CO
"Like others who have welcomed Derk & Priscilla Stevenson of Words and Works Ministries to their church I am grateful of the opportunity to recommend them to any who would consider having them minister."

F. Brent Powell, Pastor, Black Hills VCF, McCleary, WA
"Greetings in the name of Christ:
I am grateful for this opportunity to send a word of recommendation for Derk and Priscilla Stevenson and their Words and Works Ministry. I pastor a new church plant outside of Olympia Washington. We recently had the Stevenson’s share with our congregation over a long weekend with great benefit."

Gary Georgeson, Senior Pastor, The Vineyard Community Church, Federal Way, WA
"As a pastor, I am always looking for opportunities to help my flock grow in their relationship to God. Sometimes, someone from the outside can be just what is needed to help people move forward. Derk and his wife Priscilla visited us last year and led an evening service on healing. It was a tremendous time of well-balanced teaching and genuine, low-key, but powerful prayer."

Keith Henderson, Pastor, Open Door Vineyard Christian Fellowship, Spanaway, WA
"Fellow Co laborers for the kingdom
There are not many things that I am willing to endorse and place my name on as it says in Proverbs 22:1 "a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches;" this ministry however, is one I support and full endorse."

Ross Nelson, Sr. Pastor, Northwoods Vineyard
"Recently (April 25-27, 2003) we invited the Stevensons and their team to do a healing seminar at our church. Overall it was a breath of fresh air to our Body. They were well received by our congregation. Many were impacted through the presence of the Holy Spirit and released from numerous types of afflictions."

Bill Nissen, HarvestLife Christian Fellowship, Cedar Rapids, IA
"Derk and his team were a great blessing to those attending the seminar. Derk's humility and demeanor gave all the glory to the Father as Jesus moved in power to heal without hype. He came to serve, and he served well. I highly recommend Derk's seminar as well as the man."

Rev. Wallace Shea, Pastor, Open Bible Fellowship, Ankeny, IA
"I appreciate Derk Stevenson and his approach to the healing ministry. He is very personable and presents the healing ministry in a very non-threatening and scriptural way, which everyone can accept. He uses light humor in a relaxed style, which makes the seminars very comfortable and enjoyable."

Pastor Kevin Schneider, Good News Reformed Church, Sioux Falls, SD
"When I first met Derk and began to pray with him about how God would use him to further our ministry here at Good News, little did I know how powerfully we would be touched. Derk spent an evening at our leadership retreat, sharing with us how we are to minister like Christ. His words were inspiring and his humor uplifting, but that was only the beginning because the greatest testimony to Derk's ministry came as he prayed and ministered to us."

Bjorn Lervik, Associate Pastor, Hope Lutheran, Sioux Falls, SD
"Derk Stevenson and his prayer/praise team were used by God in a powerful way to impart encouragement, healing, and hope to members of His body. The manifest presence of God was evident in this workshop and brought many of our members to a new level of faith."

Jeff Orluck, Pastor of Northwest Christian Fellowship, Brooklyn Park, MN
"With a clear mandate from the Holy Spirit to provide healing ministry in our church, we have been working to train and equip the members of our congregation to pray for the sick. No one has done a better job of training for us than Derk Stevenson. Derk teaches everyday people how to pray for the sick in a very natural way in our everyday world."

George Claudio, Sr. Pastor of Straightway Vineyard Christian Fellowship, Milwaukee, WI
On a whim, I recently took a couple of van loads of “20 somethings” (young people) to attend a Healing Seminar hosted by the Northwoods Vineyard in Tomahawk, WI and presented by Derk & Priscilla Stevenson. I’d heard positive rumors about Derk’s ministry, but had never had the opportunity to meet him. Now, having benefited from his ministry, I am compelled to write this endorsement. Here’s what happened...

Pastor Pat Mulcahy, Vineyard Community Church, Cedarburg, WI
In April, 2006 our Vineyard Church in Cedarburg, WI. Hosted a Healing Seminar put on by Derk Stevenson from Words&Works Ministries for the Southern Wisconsin Vineyards.
