To Whom It May Concern:
I find it somewhat hard to not be over protective when it comes to the topic of my friend,
Patricia King. But I know she probably wouldn't want me to be. So I will do my best to
muster up as much gentleness as possible, in honor of her. Patricia's response would always be to
wear the brown coat of humility . . . and go lower still. Patricia would return to her beloved
cross and cling to it, echoing her Lord's prayer: " forgive them Lord, they know not what they do ."
She would not consent to someone on her ministry team reacting forcefully, but woud encourage a
tender and circumspect demeanor. She sets this type of example by remaining
teachable and meek under all scrutiny, whether it is warranted or not.
It is unfortunate that Patricia's current "love test " as she often calls them, are
coming from dearly beloved family members. I know she would be easily entreated if anyone directly
expressed a concern that something she was saying or doing is off track. I'm still praying
that those who have offered criticism publicly would come and process with her in a healthy face to
face dialogue as Jesus taught in Matthew 18. My prayer is that any precious members of the
body of Christ in Arizona and/or extra local leadership would not inadvertently bring fuel to our accuser's
fire by stirring up more division in the body of Christ. Such schisms are so
grievous to the heart of our beloved Savior, who died for us all. Who prayed that we would be one
as He and the Father are one.
I have observed Patricia's ministry up close. It has touched me deeply. It is fruitful and
the very opposite of flaky. I have associated with other ministries in the past who responded proudly
and defensively when others found fault with them. Not this virtuous and wise woman. Patricia
responded with a refreshing openness and willingness to be corrected should she ever unconsciously do anything
contrary to the ways and teachings of her Lord. The impeccable integrity and fierce passion for God
that she exudes, and the heartfelt compassion she extends toward all, has been a tremendous
example to me and my family.
I would desribe Patricia as a mighty mobilizer of Jesus lovers. She is consumed with an evangelistic
vision that all Christians fulfill the great commission from a place of agape love, fervent servanthood
and dunamis power. She has proven to be enormously effective at activating believers into their ministries
and divine destinies. She has much vision for expanding His Kingdom but never seems to show a hint
of selfish ambition. It is no wonder there is some resistance to her in Arizona. If I were the enemy
I would fight her tooth and nail. I would generate as much opposition as I could toward her.
Patricia carries an apostolic mandate in this region that surely terrifies the hosts of darkness.
She demonstrates, with sound scriptural authority, how to come into deeper intimacy with Christ through her
Glory School. Her Extreme Prophetic school then takes people (now intimately reconnected to their first love)
to the streets and market place to love the lost to life! That must cause the devil to shake in his
boots. Not only that, she encourages all who run with her to make sure their character and values
are consistently Christlike.When anyone of us is struggling though, she has been gracious and patient.
One excellent description I heard recently given by Shawn Bolz is that the best way to understand
Patricia King is that she's a "modern day missionary." I agree, Patricia seems to thrive the most
when taking the light of God's love and Word into the darker places of society.
There is so much I could say about the impact she is having on my life. I have been to Bible school.
I have sat at the feet of some of the most seasoned apostles and prophets in the Body of Christ.
I am writing this letter of my free will, to notify all who need to know that this woman is in the league of God's
finest leaders. Patricia is a most convicting woman to be around. She walks in
God-fearing holiness. She flows in accurate revelation knowledge for the church at large and for individual
members. She works overtime to insure the safety of all who come into her sphere of influence.
She studies the scriptures diligently and seeks the face of God unceasingly.
I must say with all reasoning, that I feel genuine concern for anyone who would ever come against this
anointed servant of God. I pray they would discern the sovereign favor that rests upon Patricia and
her ministry. I pray they would come to know that Patricia has a generous Kingdom vision
that incorporates all ministers and members of the Body of Christ. Rather than being some charismatic diva
type, Patricia is all about laying her life down for hers. She is not trying to build her kingdom,
only His . . .
What I have stated is not hyperbole. Patricia just happens to be the real deal. Her husband
Ron walks in such peace and lack of pretense and has been nothing but kind to me. I know that Patricia
and Ron would quickly forgive and hug the neck of anyone who needs to come confess they have misjudged or
dishonored,or handled them recklessly. This authentic mother in the faith deserves a second
look by all who have under estimated her contribution to the Body of Christ.
