RECOMMENDATIONS

Dane knows discipleship, joy, and the church, and loves all three.  And it shows in the way he puts them together in ministry, for the honor of our Lord. Your church will benefit from time shared with him.

Community is a vital part of a Christian’s life. It is where believers connect with one another, support one another and serve together.  It is where believers encourage one another to grow, equip each and hold each other accountable to being passionate worshipers, and engaged in the mission of the Gospel.  Every believer needs the church to help them be in community.  To be able to help the church must recruit and train leadership, develop a good strategy and provide strong organization. Dane Allphin can help your church in  each of these areas.  He is a proven leader with a great track record.  He understands the Challenge of creating community in the church and realizes that merely implementing the current popular program is not very effective.  I would encourage you to invite Dane to help your church take the next steps toward vibrant community.

For over 25 years, Dane Allphin has been ministering and mentoring me.  As a high school student he showed me what it meant to follow Jesus Christ.  Today he still continues to do this, but his efforts aren’t solely focused on me, he’s coaching me to lead others in the congregation where I pastor.  Dane’s passion is to see others walk as disciples of Jesus Christ.  In our time together, he is encouraging me to think and rethink discipleship and we are partnering together to do this strategically, systematically and relationally.  I believe that Jesus did this too!

“Dane is a ‘community specialist’ that offers a wealth of experience in group dynamics and initiation of interpersonal relationships. He possesses a real heart for others and his attitude is remarkably contagious. Working in ministry comes extremely easy, as he displays a genuine love for Jesus Christ. Dane is a tireless worker, a faithful friend, and great husband and father.”

I was delighted when I heard he joined the Navigators since his gifts fit perfectly into their mission to walk alongside Christ’s followers on their spiritual journey, supporting them as they search the Word of God to chart the course of lives.

The first time I met Dane it was obvious he is a leader. Since then I am continually impressed with his dedication to the Word and to the people he serves. His genuine love for his fellow man shines through.

I can say with certainty that since the starting of our Monday morning group Dane has brought me closer to the Lord and has helped my understanding of the Word and my personal relationship with Christ. Through his tutelage I have become disciplined in my worship and studying. And he has encouraged us to share with other what we have learned.

Dane is the living exemplification of 1 Peter 4:10 “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” I am proud to not only call him my spiritual leader but a friend.
