Recommendations
It is my honor and privilege to recommend Bro. Blaine and Holly Hooper to your Mission outreach ministry. As Pastor and founder of Whitfield Baptist Church in Dalton for over 47 years, I’ve seen a lot of young couples get excited about the ministry and fizzle out. But Bro. Blaine and Mrs. Holly have been faithful members of our church for over ten years and have proved themselves faithful. They both have been available and very fruitful in a diversity of ministries, from the Bus ministry to teaching Sunday School and assisting with the youth ministry.
Several years back, Bro. Blaine surrendered to preach the Gospel and then to be a missionary. They both have diligently studied in our Faith Bible Institute and not only finished the course but helped supervise the school and helped many to graduate with this solid Bible training. He and Holly have both been very faithful in visiting, soul-winning, and discipling new converts. Bro Blaine has filled my pulpit many times and has always stayed true to The Word of God and preached with conviction and fervor.
He has a wonderful relationship with his family, and they are all committed to going wherever God leads them. If you have any questions or need further information about the Hoopers, please don’t hesitate to call me at 706-278-6776. Thank you for considering the Hoopers to be a part of your outreach to South Africa.

It is my honor to recommend Blaine Hooper and his wife, Holly, as missionaries to the country of South Africa.
Blaine and Holly have been faithful members of my father-in-law Pastor Wayne Cofield’s church for over ten years. During this time, Blaine has proven to be a reliable and dedicated member, always willing to assist his pastor and church in any way needed. His involvement has included the bus ministry, teen ministry, and, more recently, the children’s ministry, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to serving the local church.
Blaine has a deep conviction about the importance of the local church and has dedicated his life to supporting and strengthening it. His hands-on experience, coupled with his willingness to step in wherever needed, will undoubtedly make him a valuable asset to the ministry in South Africa.
Blaine has shown unwavering faithfulness in meeting all the requirements set by his pastor and our mission board as he begins the process of raising support. His dedication to giving his life to reach South Africa with the Gospel is a testament to his calling and commitment.
I am confident that Blaine and Holly will be a tremendous blessing to the work in South Africa, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for your consideration.

I have known Blaine from the day he surrendered to serve God as a missionary and have found him faithful to study and work in his home church.
He is a gifted preacher with a fine family that will follow him as he follows God.
I would highly recommend Blaine as worthy of your support.
