Endorsement for Carlos Sales

Are you buried in the “mechanics” of ministry? Do you feel overwhelmed with the complexity and scale of the work to be done? Are you in need of proven systems, organization and knowledgeable people to partner with you and make your vision a reality?

If you are struggling under the load of any of the above, then I can’t think of anyone better equipped with a rare combination of heart and giftedness than Carlos Sales and “myexecutivepastor.com”! For more than 10 years Carlos has been an Executive Pastor colleague, a friend and, for a few years, a partner on my staff team.

Carlos can bring to any organization a unique blend of entrepreneurial spirit, a tender heart for people, a passion to see life transformation and years of proven experience in small groups, adult ministries and especially in the unique roll of Executive Pastor.

Having served with distinction in three churches, including start-up church plants and established mega-church ministries, I can wholeheartedly recommend Carlos as a professional of the highest integrity, great wisdom and solid family values. Carlos’ broad experience in the Executive Pastor’s Network, in Associate Pastor roles and in private business gives him a unique perspective and ability to accurately assess the challenges you are facing and partner with you to develop realistic implementation strategies.

Carlos is a unique and trusted resource with an unusual depth of experience and knowledge and it’s a privilege to call him my friend and colleague.


Sincerely,

Letter of Recommendation - Pastor Dennis Keating - EFCC

To Whom It May Concern:

When I think of Carlos I think: hard working and multi-gifted. For the past four and one-half years, I have had the privilege of knowing and serving in pastoral ministry with Carlos and I have seen his gifts demonstrated repeatedly; he is organized and great at administration.

I’m recommending him to you for a number of key reasons:
1. Carlos’ love for Jesus is genuine. He is committed to maintaining a close, honest relationship with the Lord.
2. His family reflects the character of Christ. Lisa Sales is a gem! She strongly supports her husband’s calling as leader in their home and pastor of a church. Their four children have learned the Scriptures and all of his daughters have committed to following the Lord in full obedience.
3. Carlos has successfully chosen and trained lay leaders for key positions of service. He developed our First Impressions, Prayer Partners and Life Group Ministries. He helped train leaders for various Counseling Ministries such as marriage mentors and Crown Financial groups. Carlos started the Men’s Ministry and planned many special events. He did all that while developing the church’s website which looks awesome!
4. He helped develop, with other staff members, a ministry plan for a 30+ acre parcel of land that became the home of our church plant, Mission Hills Church. I get tired just thinking about all that Carlos did in helping lead this church from infancy in our gymnasium to occupying the property in April of 07. His fingers touched most every aspect of church life.
5. During his pastoral duties, Carlos has been involved in every aspect of ministry: countless counseling sessions, funerals, weddings, baptisms and elder meetings. He has had broad ministry experience.

If you’re looking for a hard-working, technically savvy ministry leader then take a close look at Carlos Sales.

Sincerely,




Dennis J. Keating
Sr. Pastor
