"I commend the ministry of Daryel O’Barr to you. I have known Daryel since our college days and over the years watched him as a pastor. In every church he has had a steady emphasis on evangelism. He has consistently led his congregations to go “after souls.” Recently Daryel has entered into vocational evangelism. It is my hope that you might use Daryel at your church.”
