To Whom It May Concern.
I have interacted with Patricia King, her husband and her ministry team for several years now and I can say with the utmost
confidence that I have never once experienced or seen anything that would make me question their integrity, character, or heart
motives in personal encounters and/or ministry encounters.
I have continually watched her build and edify the body of Christ from a place of humility and servant hood, even in her
leadership role and capacity. Some of my dearest friends have joined her team, people I respect and admire in their walk with
God and in the ministry. Even in times of disagreement (and there are always going to be those times) Patricia's approach brought
me to tears as they relayed the outcome to me, along with the way she walked in severe humility along side them in order to
resolve things.
Even though she is the leader and they are employed by her, she did not put herself above them, but went so far as to get
underneath them, so to speak, to lift up with respect who they are in Christ.
Patricia blazes a trail like no one I know in the things of God, in that she is up front and in the public eye, making
a way for others to follow. Does she make any mistakes? Is there anyone apart from Christ who has not? Even Paul and Peter
made theirs, and yes, they too were criticized openly for it, but that is part of being a leader. I don't know anyone who is
quicker to admit and correct anything brought to her attention that truly is needed to be adjusted.
Everyone has opinions of how things should be done, but I'm not referring to the opinion of the masses - one could never
hope to, nor should they desire to, please everyone. That in itself would result in a man-pleasing spirit. I'm talking about
those who are in ministry with her, as well as those she is accountable to. She has chosen respected leaders in the body of
Christ to walk with in counsel and covering.
I say to Patricia, thank you. Thank you for continuing to put yourself out there and standing up for what you believe in -
the fullness of Christ - leading people into the knowledge and worship of God in spirit and in truth. Forgive me for not
holding you up in prayer enough. That is something I've asked the Lord to put me in continual remembrance of, that I would
participate with you in what you are doing through prayer and the lifting up of your arms as you continue at the forefront
to plunder what the enemy is doing on this earth and in people's lives. Especially to help see you through this onslaught.
I thank you for the price you have, and continue to pay, for the sake of Christ and His Kingdom here on earth to be
established as it is in heaven. My hat's off to you and I say "Run, holy woman, run! Press onward, pushing every hindrance aside and press inward to the Lover of your soul,
your King and your Judge - the Beautiful One, our Hope of Glory."
If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
grace grace,
