If you're a Pastor, Teacher, or an Employer you may get asked to write a letter of recommendation quite often. To simplify this process, you may want to memorize an easy formula that outlines how to write your letters.
- 1. Determine the Purpose of the Recommendation Letter - Why are you being asked for this Recommendation Letter? Is it for your church member's acceptance into a certain school, employment purposes, or to get into specific program? It is important to understand what the purpose of the letter is so that you can highlight appropriate characteristics.
- 2. Make a List of Positive Attributes - Write down a quick
list of positive attributes and characteristics of the church member for
whom you are writing the letter. Don't worry about grammar or spelling
just get the list down first.
- 3. Link the Attributes to the Purpose of the Letter
- Now choose which positive attributes match characteristics the
recipient of the letter would like to see highlighted. Is this letter
going to a dean of a college? Highlight academic efforts. To a potential
employer? Highlight examples of responsibility. To a Pastor of a
church? Highlight examples of moral conviction. This should be
accomplished in 1 paragraph of 3 to 4 sentences. If you are not a
skilled writer, consider writing a bullet-point paragraph such as the
following example. I feel Jane is qualified to be a counselor in your summer camp program because she is:Organized
Responsible
Good with children Creative
Energetic
- 4. Find One Specific Example that Exemplifies Character -
It's tempting to write lengthy letters of recommendation that ramble on
and on, but it's best to keep the letter short and to the point so it
will read. Write a one-paragraph story about a specific experience with
the person/member in question where she displayed good character. Keep
it short, but specific.I have two different sample Recommendation Letters below from Pastor to school, employers... for church members.

Visitor Testimonials
*Disclaimer
*Terressa! I received the discs today!! A few years back I was at a small church that used your software and it was perfect for their volunteers to use. The church I am at now has 2 volunteer secretaries and one found your product and I gushed!!! Her first request is a directory so this will be perfect. God Bless you for creating such a great system (Shepherdbase). Regards - Tonya - OK - U.S.
*Disclaimer
*This is the 1st time I've visited your website and I just wanted to say "thank you". I go to a very small Christian Church and thanks to you, the forms you have for a children's ministry will keep me from having to "reinvent the wheel" and I am very grateful to you. We are a very small church (about 40 regular attendees) and 90% of those are over 65. We just had a young couple offer to help us get a Youth Group. Thanks to you, we won't have to do to much to get this off and running for the holiday season. Thanks again! - Kentucky - U.S.
*Disclaimer
*I do the tithes at the end of the year for a very small outreach in the city of Detroit. They had been paying thousands of dollars every several years trying to keep a database of their donors.
I searched last year for something less costly for them and came across your database (Shepherdbase). It is a blessing and so appreciated. Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for Giving To The Lord. Peacemakers Int. in Detroit on Chene street is another ministry you have blessed. - Charlene - U.S. *Disclaimer
*This website has been very useful for my ministries with Hospice, the Hospital and Human Services. I recommend this website to any church, ministry or agency that is supporting or ministering to people. God Bless You - Chaplain Dave - U.S. *Disclaimer
*Just wanted to let you know how helpful your resources are. We are a small church and have missed out on doing a lot of things. We ordered your Church Forms on CD and are just pleased. Keep up the good work of providing resources for Churches. - Lillian - U.S. *Disclaimer
*I am a minister of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and have been tremendously blessed to access you and pray that God the Almighty favor you in what you do. You have enabled me to access ready-designed church documents. Thanks and God Bless You Terressa. - Bro. Mike - Kenya, Africa *Disclaimer
*Thank You! You're heart for giving free resources and making things so affordable is truly a blessing. My Pastor always says: "What you make happen for someone else, God will make happen for you!" May God richly bless you and your ministry to us and so many others, enlarge your territory and bring financial blessings with good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over!!! 10,000 Blessings! Leeanna - U.S. *Disclaimer
*Thanks for making this site available. I took over as secretary of our small church a few months ago, and I am having to create a lot of forms. This site is a blessing! - Vicki - U.S. *Disclaimer
*After years of frustration and being overcharged for Church Management software, I came across "Shepherbase" and all my problems were solved. *Disclaimer
This database:
- 1. Tracks members and visitors
- 2. Tracks contributions
