What others say about
Dan Reeves
“Let me recommend
Dan Reeves. Dan has been coaching
leadership teams for more than
25 years. Dan knows our approach
well, and is able to adapt it
to a wide range of ministry
settings. During the last 18
months alone Dan has effectively
helped 35 congregations make
the transition to fractal teams.
He has the understanding and
heart necessary to build churches
that reach the harvest.”
Dr. Wayne Cordeiro,
New Hope Christian Fellowship
Honolulu, Hawaii
“Dan Reeves is one
of the few professionals who
actually studied with Donald
McGavran. McGavran valued Dan
as one of his most gifted, perceptive
and industrious students who,
in his own way, would advance
missiological thought in his
generation. That expectation
has been, and is still being
fulfilled. Today, Dan stands
prominently in the front ranks
of church consultants. Indeed,
with astonishingly contextual
wisdom, he consults with churches
and judicatories across a remarkable
range of denominations and traditions.
He is universally trusted and
appreciated across that range.
To his consulting, Dan continually
brings the blend of classical
church growth lore with demographic
studies and futurist studies
that help churches find their
way forward. The leadership
he brings, in recent years,
in Ecclesiology may prove to
be historic! One day, through
Dan Reeves’ catalytic
influence, hundreds of churches
will be reaching people and
(at least) several denominations
will actually have a coherent
doctrine of the Church in Mission!”
George Hunter,
Dean, School of World Mission
and Evangelism, Asbury Theological
Seminary
“You continue, Dan,
to under-promise and over-deliver!
Your efforts have been above
and beyond our expectations.
Very impressive. I love your
proposal and I'm very enthusiastic
about this partnership. Many
thanks.”
Dave Ferguson, Lead
Pastor, Community Christian
Church, Naperville, Illinois
“Dan Reeves' LifeSystem
consultation process has been
a transformational experience
for our middle-sized congregation.
Reeves encourages and resources
a process that includes an eye-opening
analysis of present ministry,
teamed with a model for transforming
nonfunctional structures and
ministry approaches to systems
that allow for effective sharing
of the Gospel in a twenty-first
Century setting. As a direct
result of our consultation,
Northminster Church has moved
to a more efficient staffing
model tied to our mission and
vision. We have traded thirteen
unwieldy and difficult-to-staff
committees for six functional
ministry teams made up of people
who have zeal about their ministry
and a real commitment to one
another. We also created and
staffed an outreach oriented
contemporary worship service
without the oft experienced
"worship wars." Most
importantly, we have introduced
many unreached people to Jesus,
helped them discover and grow
their gifts, and are in the
process of helping them to find
their ministries in our family.
I heartily commend Dan Reeves
to you as a consultant who helps
get the work of Christ done,
not just talked about.”
Rev. Bill Ekhardt, Northminster
Presbyterian Church, Bakersfield,
California
“I have known Dan
Reeves for 20 years and have
grown to appreciate his love
for our Lord and passion for
His church. Dan has a keen ability
to ask the right question at
the right time to draw out the
truth of a matter. His descriptions
and prescriptions are biblically
based and systemically sound.
In my mind he is clearly one
of the top five church consultants
in the United States today.”
Gary McIntosh, Author
and Professor, Biola University
“Dan is a person
who brings knowledge, wisdom
and passion to his calling.
The fruit of his ministry is
found in churches that have
been revitalized and which have
experienced significant growth
through the spiritual foundations
he has helped lay.”
Eddie Gibbs, Professor
of Church Growth, Fuller Theological
Seminary
“The work that Dan
Reeves has done in church consultation
has helped hundreds and hundreds
of churches to carry out the
Great Commission to all nations.”
Elmer Towns, Dean, School
of Religion, Liberty University
