"I have known David and Marcy Alves for a number of years and regard them as among the Lord's chosen and annointed servants. David is a gifted teacher and leader. I have been privileged to have used him in several teaching assignments especially those addressing the mission of the Church in todays culture. He has demonstrated an understanding of God's purpose for the Church and communicated it in a very interesting and resourceful way. I regard him as one whom God has raised up and gifted to speak to the modern church. I recommend him without reservation."

Dave and Marcy will serve you well as speakers, leaders or teachers in a variety of settings.I highly recommend them.

I have known Pastor David Alves for approximately three years. We have ministered together on the foreign field in the Republic of Georgia, teaching in conferences in three major cities. I was able to witness first-hand his knowledge of scripture, his love and interaction with the people in that country.
We continue to have an ongoing and successful relationship with David and Marcy and it is without reservation that we endorse them in their ministry.
I have known Dave Alves for seven years now and appreciate his kingdom vision. Dave has helped in my own church with seminars on "church health" that were inspirational and practical. His approachable nature and disarming transparency helped him communicate well with all our folk at the church.
Dave not only knows his stuff, he helps others to know it too. Additionally I have found Dave a good friend and confidant.

Marcy's ministry at our Lady's Christmas Tea was beyond expectations! One of our lady's shared on Sunday that 5 women accepted Christ as their Savior at the tea. We are following up with them! I am hoping to plug them into cell groups.
As Marcy led us in our theme for the weekend, "Entering God's Rest," we were delighted as we were challenged by God's Word. Marcy integrated real life stories with her biblical teaching. We found encouragement to find that place of rest with God in the midst of our busy lives. Marcy is a down-to-earth, inspirational speaker, who truly exhibits dependence upon her God as she touches women's lives.
