"Over the past 10 years that I have been associated with the Rick Via Ministries I have seen God work through this ministry in a powerful way. I have had the privilege of working with Bro. Rick both in Uganda and India. Bro. Rick is a Spirit-filled man that walks with God. He doesn’t just talk about evangelism, he practices it. God is using him all around the world to win people to Christ and to train pastors and leaders to disciple those who are committed to Christ. Rainbow Forest Baptist Church is proud to be a part of the Rick Via Ministries through prayer and also financially. We know that each penny is used to see men, women, boys and girls all across this globe come into a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ."

"One of the very best ministries is Rick Via World Reach Ministries. Without a doubt Rick and his family remain so very special to North Greenville University and me. We very much admire and appreciate their commitment to Jesus Christ. They are making a difference for Him by winning one soul at a time. After all, if just one more gets saved, it is worth our time and efforts. Many are accepting Jesus Christ through Rick Via World Reach Ministries. I can strongly recommend Rick Via to every person and that they are worthy of our support."

"As a former President of the Southern Baptist Convention I am often asked to endorse a book, but I do not always agree to do so. In this case, I was eager to do it. Rick’s book will bless you. I also know the author as a man of integrity. So get his book – read it and be encouraged.”
