“I’ve known Pastor Dar and Shelley Eckley for 22 years. I was invited to speak for them in 2002. Their church is in the middle of a corn field but don’t let that fool you. Dar is one of the most solid pastors I know. He is not only full of integrity, which seems to be a diminishing quality in our day, but he is a superb teacher of God’s Word and a man sensitive to the Holy Spirit. As I’ve continued to go back to their church yearly (I do so because they treat me so well), I’ve observed the church continues to have solid, ongoing growth. That includes numerically but also I see it in the maturity of their people. In 22 years, I’ve see them successfully raise their kids and walk victoriously through the challenges that life throws our way. Dar and Shelley are solid ministers, parents, and my wife Trudi and I are honored to call them dear friends. I highly recommend them.”
