"Greetings
and blessings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Congratulations
on 50 years of full-time Christian ministry.
I want to
extend to you our heart-felt love and appreciation for all the years of
unselfish service you and your dear family have given to the work of the
Lord.
I
know my father, the late Rev. F.C. Masserano Sr., loved you both dearly.
So,
I speak for him and my mom, Iris, as well as all the family members
saying:...
"Render, therefore,....honor to whom honor is due" (Romans
13:7)
Again,
congratulations! We pray that your
latter days will be greater than
your former days and that God will be glorified in all you do and that many
more souls will be brought into His Kingdom.
Little David Walker, you're a
bigger man than most of us and an example to us all!"
Bishop
John L. Meares
Evangel Temple
Washington, DC
"You have had an unusual ministry in that you were preaching the gospel
when most boys of your age would have been playing marbles or playing ball.
With
the apostle Paul you have the testimony," I have not been disobedient
to the heavenly vision." Is it
any wonder that Satan tried many times to
take your life and destroy your ministry. You
have been a great
soul-winner and witness to the power of God.
My
prayer for you is that you will still have many more years of service in
heralding the good news of our Lord and Savior.
May even a greater
anointing be upon your ministry and you, along with your wife, enjoy many
rewards for your faithfulness."
Rev.
Donald Cougle
Pastor of First Assembly of God
Lewiston, Maine
This is a letter of introduction for David and Kathy Walker. They have
ministered in our church several times over the last many years, in not
only our regular Sunday Services, but also in week long conventions.
The
people of Lewiston, Maine and First Assembly have both enjoyed and
benefited greatly from their music and preaching of the word of God.
The Walkers strongly believe that God's miracles are for today and instill
that belief in others that they may in turn reach out and discover God's
power for themselves. We have
witnessed many modern day miracles during
our services with this couple.
I
would with hesitation recommend David and Kathy Walker for ministry in
any church."

Only eternity will reveal the countless thousands that have accepted our
wonderful Saviour because of your ministry.
May God continue to grant you
good health as you continue to proclaim His glorious Gospel!
Pastor
Jerry Wade
Bethel Temple
Lake Worth, Florida
We believe you must realize how special you are to us and what a blessing
you have been to us personally and to the churches we have pastored.
The Walkers' are the only evangelists who would come to our little home
missions work in Virginia over sixteen years ago.
We'll never forget how
the spirit moved in those meetings and how you helped the people there
invite the Holy Spirit in their lives. Since
that pastorate, you have been
a shoulder to cry on and a prayer warrior for us in difficult days and a
blessing to all our family and to
the churches we have since pastored.
Dr.
N. Benjamin Crandall
President of Zion Bible Institute
Barrington RI
"You have exemplified what God can and will do in a life totally dedicated
and committed to him commencing at a very young age. As one of God's
chosen instruments, numerous nations around the world have been touched and
blessed. We thank God for the
special inspiration you have been to us
personally over the years, as well as Zion Gospel Temple and Zion Bible
Institute.
It is our prayer that the Lord's blessing will increase immeasurably in the
years to come as you continue to labor in the vineyard. "

"
The words "living legend" are sometimes used when it is invalid.
However,
in your case I believe "living legend" could, and should, be
appropriately applied. Fifty plus
years in continuous world-wide
evangelism, what a tribute to the Lord you serve.
I
consider myself both fortunate and honored to know you and have you as a
personal friend.
I
extend my heartiest congratulations to you.
You and your wonderful
family are such an asset to the Kingdom of God.
May God continue to
strengthen and guide you as His ambassador of the gospel around the world."
Charles
E. Crank
District Superintendent
Indiana District of the Assemblies of God
"We
are about the same age and I began preaching when I was sixteen years
old. Your father and I traveled together for several years in evangelistic
ministry. by then, you had been
across the nation in crusades with
thousands of people in attendance. In
numerous places where we conducted
meetings, people were talking about "Little David Walker".
In Richmond,
Virginia particularly, many people came to us and spoke of the great
crusade you had conducted in the city a few months earlier. WE saw the
continuing influence of your ministry in many places we ministered."`

Sparks
National Coordinator

"Little
David and Kathy Walker are gifts to the local church body.
It has
been my privilege to share in their ministry in several of my pastorates.
They
have always ministered under the leadership and guidance of the Holy
Spirit their ministry ;has renewed our people by the refreshing presence
and touch of the Sprit of the Lord. 'They practice what they preach!' I
deeply appreciate their fresh vision for souls....people need the Lord."
Paul
E. Lowenberg
Former Executive Presbyter

"In
these last days of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, God is fulfilling
His promise, "your sons and daughters shall prophecy."
Acts 2:17
In 1947-1948, we met and worked with Little David. Everywhere crusades
were conducted, large auditoriums had to be rented to accommodate the
crowds.
Little
David preached, with great anointing, the four square message- Jesus
saves, heals, fills with the Holy Spirit and is coming again, quoting from
memory many scriptures.
As
he gave the invitation hundreds of people came to the front of the
auditorium to meet God. they were
indeed days of great revival and
outpouring of the Holy Ghost."
Dr.
Ray Chamberlain
Pastor
Delmarva Evangelistic Church
Salisbury, Maryland
"David
Walker has been a close friend of our ministry for many years.
After
fasting and prayer in 1966, I had the privilege to join David and
Kathy in a Crusade in Jamaica. this
was held in the National Stadium with
thousands attending in four nights. As
song director and co-evangelist, I
had spent weeks in preaching in churches to prepare them. The four nights
in the stadium added thousands to the Kingdom of God with hundreds
receiving healing. the 16
millimeter film and the many photographs that we
took of our Jamaica evangelistic trip are some of my most cherished
possessions.
David
Walker is from the early days of great revival that is still sweeping
the world. His character and
competence of ministry has affected the lives
of countless thousands of people worldwide.
There is no more appropriate
statement to make than that "the Walkers are mighty instruments in God's
hand with humility and grace that makes the a great deal more outstanding
than normal ministries."

"You
evident dedication to the Lord and His work has created a ministry
that is well appreciated. We
appreciate the touch of God on both of your
lives. At the same time, you are
real people. All this is to say
that we
have really come to love and appreciate you and always look forward to
having you with us.
May the Lord continue to guide and direct your lives as you continue to
serve our wonderful Lord. "
J.
Foy Johnson
Former District Superintendent
Peninsular Florida District Council of Assemblies of God
"I
have followed the ministry and Spiritual results of Evangelist David Walker's
ministry for many years and it is my happy privilege, from all that I know and
hear, to recommend Brother and sister Walker highly to any minister and
church.
The
cooperative attitude, beautiful spirit and Spiritual perception of Evangelist
David Walker combine to make his ministry effective and Christ-honoring."
L.H.
Hardwick, Jr.
Pastor of Christ church
Nashville, Tennessee
"It
seems only yesterday that my parents took the whole family to the Ryman
Auditorium in downtown Nashville where a great revival was underway. The
services were packed out every night. It seemed that everyone in
Nashville wanted to hear the evangelists, David Walker. I was only a teenager
at the time and you were a young boy.
I
had known, since childhood, that I wanted to become a preacher. However,
it was during that revival, under your ministry, that I first came to know
that it would become a reality.
I
have followed your ministry through the years. It has always been so
gratifying to me that you stayed true to your calling and did not let fame and
following compromise your mission. You have truly been an inspiration
and an example for so many young preachers to emulate, during these eventful
and blessed fifty years.
God
has blessed you with a wonderful family. Kathy and the children have
labored by your side, sharing your burden for souls the world over. All
of our expressions of love, gratitude, and congratulations are extended
equally to them."
