To whom it may concern,
I believe with all my heart that the “church” here in the United States has no fear of God (which is the beginning of wisdom). I believe brother Dones has been anointed to teach God’s people what the fear of God is, and to stir up a hunger for the truth of God’s Word. I’ve been a Christian for thirty-one years; grew up on the mission field; heard fifty-two “life-changing” sermons every year, yet never managed to discipline myself to spend much time in the Word. The Lord has used Brother Dones in my life to stir up a hunger so that it’s not abnormal for me to spend hours and hours in the Word. Quite frankly, I would hardly call it a “discipline”, since my taste buds for spiritual bread have come alive. Now I actually crave God’s Word.
My prayer is that God may anoint Brother Dones to bless you, as he has blessed me and my wife and our five children.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Rutz

To whom it may concern,
Ted and Janet Dones have been actively involved in ministry in and around the Eureka Springs area for the past two years of our acquaintance. I know Ted to be serious about winning souls for the Kingdom of God. I have personally witnessed dozens of lives changed as a result of their ministry.
Ted and Janet also have a heart to disciple those with a desire to follow Christ. Ted emphasizes obedience to the leading of the Spirit in every believer’s life. Their personal experiences with the delivering power of Jesus speak to many who are struggling in life with no hope.
I have witnessed Ted and Janet as they have reached out to the marginalized and homeless. They not only share the message of the Kingdom of God but their own material possessions as well. They often take the needy into their own home, sharing everything they have without reservation. They are truly generous people.
Should the Lord open the door for ministry with Ted, I am sure you will see the fruit of his sincere heart and radical faith.
Sincerely,
Mark Hollis

To Whom It May Concern,
I’m pleased to tell you about Teddy Dones, whom I have known for over two years. Teddy and I have spent many hours together during that time, praying, worshipping, studying the Bible, and ministering to others. I would like to tell you about three characteristics in particular that I have observed in Teddy: his zeal and dedication, his desire to win souls, and his willingness to learn.
Teddy is a very zealous and dedicated Christian. He seeks, above everything else, to obey and glorify the Lord in all he does. He is not easily put off by adverse circumstances when ministering to others. He has gone out of his way to visit families and individuals who were struggling, opening his own home to them as a place of refuge and healing. The Lord has given him a prophetic zeal–to proclaim the truth of God’s Word to Christians and non-Christians alike. His zeal, however, is increasingly tempered by a deep compassion for those who are in bondage to the devil. He is learning the necessary balance between truth and grace, which mark a truly Godly life.
Teddy’s great desire is to win the lost for Jesus Christ. He is not intimidated by people, so he can easily converse and share with almost everyone. Since he believes the Lord is coming soon, Teddy feels a real urgency to tell others about the truth of the Gospel.
Finally, Tedd’s zeal and boldness do not prevent him from admitting his mistakes and his need to learn. Because he cherishes his relationship with God, Teddy is willing to humble himself and seek advice and knowledge. Many times, Teddy has told me to point out any shortcomings in his character or in his understanding of the Bible. Our friendship has grown around this accountability to each other and willingness to learn together and grow into the men God wants us to be.
In short, I heartily recommend Teddy Dones to you–for his zeal and dedication in serving the Lord, his desire to win souls, and his willingness to learn, and his eagerness to grow in God’s Grace.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Throckmorton

Dear Pastor,
I am writing this letter of recommendation to you on behalf of Teddy Dones. I have known Teddy for two years; his love for our Lord Jesus and his zeal for greater purity has ministered to the body of Christ here at Living Springs and in this region. I have personally witnessed the Holy Spirit work through and around Teddy & Janet! Powerfully delivering people from demonic influences as well as the “subtle” lies that hold one captive or restrict the growth of faith. I believe that you will see that Teddy’s boldness to call the body of Christ to Holiness will be empowered by the Holy Spirit bringing conviction to many. As that word is balanced with the truth that this holiness comes by grace as we humble ourselves before a Holy God, the Spirit of God will kindle hope and faith in the hearts of many, and the goodness of God will lead them to repentance. In closing, my prayer and expectation are that as you open “a door of utterance” to this servant of Jesus Christ, that God would faithfully move among you in power as He has with us. If you would like any additional information, contact us at P.O. Box 81 Kingston, AR. 72742 or (501)665-2887.
In Christ,

To whom it may concern,
Ted has been exposed to much of the flow of the supernatural through Sword Ministries.
Ted has spent much time studying material from this ministry. He has also spent much time studying covenant principles. He has strong and clear convictions on holiness.
He ministers without holding back, without apologies. When this message of revival goes forth, great deliverance and pruning is the result, but this is brought forth out of much compassion for the fruit to produce within your area.
Remember, great power flows out of purity as well as conviction.
Blessings,

To whom it may concern,
It is my privilege to write this letter of introduction for my friend and brother in Christ, Teddy Dones. In 1996, I met Teddy, Janet, and their beautiful young daughter where they lived in Joplin, MO. Since then we have become very good friends and I have stayed in their home many times. God has placed a beautiful and powerful anointing on Teddy and Janet Dones. Their hearts are pure and alert as they have committed their lives to God and ministry.
Both Teddy and Janet are very sensitive and discerning as a result of their commitment to prayer. I have stood back and watched as the Lord continues to bless their lives and their powerful ministry. I trust and believe in them, their ministry, and the miracles God does through them.
Thank you, and may the blessings of God continue to bond us together through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Yours truly,
Joseph Reyes
