As a resident and local Pastor in Fort Walton Beach, Florida area,
it has been a privilege to get to know Roy Mills and his family since they arrived here from Australia. Roy, his wife Kerri
and their four children are a wonderful blessing and asset to our community.
Charles Sansom,
Jr. Senior Pastor Family of Faith Community Church, FWB Florida.
It is with great pleasure
that I have this opportunity to address the character of Pastor Roy Mills. I have known him for several years and he and his
family has been (and continue to be) an asset to the greater Fort Walton Beach Community. Roy Mills is often my go to pastor
in the community when the association needs things done. His ministry has impacted many and has changed many lives. It is
without any reservation that I can personally speak to the character of Pastor Roy Mills. He lives what he preaches every
day. A man of above reproach at all times.
Larry J. Carter President of Greater Fort Walton Beach
Christian Ministers Association.
My name is Steve Winton; I have served as the senior pastor
of Mary Esther United Methodist Church in the area for the past four years. During this time I have become acquainted with
Roy Mills as a fellow servant of the church, a brother in Christ and a friend. I have witnessed Roy’s compassion for
the needs of multitudes of people in our community through the church and on his own personal basis. Roy has worked well with
many people from many area churches. He also has ministered in my church. Through his ministry and that of his family countless
young people have been challenged to a deeper walk in their Christian faith, which not only impacts the church, but also the
community at large.
Steven P. Winton, Senior Pastor Mary Esther United Methodist Church
I have had the personal privilege and pleasure of knowing Pastor Roy Mills now for several years. We have worshiped
together in many different settings and strategize together through the Ministerial Association to reach out to our community.
I have also known the joy of his friendship at a more casual and personal level, which has serviced to bring the warmth of
God’s touch into my life and brighten my days. I say this to bring attention to the fact that he is a very humble and
relational man, who is touched and moved by the needs around him. I have no hesitation in saying that I strongly believe that
he is a Christian man and we are greatly blessed to have such a man serving in our community.

W. Jakes, Senior Pastor First Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Roy Mills and his family are both
colleagues and friends. Roy pastors a thriving ministry and his involvement with this community is both a blessing and an
asset. He is highly involved with the Greater FWB ministers association assisting our community in tangible and practical
ways. I count it both an honor and a blessing to have Pastor Roy Mills as a colleague and friend.
Roger
L. Goen Jr. Senior Pastor Wavecrest Community Church
It is my pleasure to recommend to you Pastor
Roy Mills, I have seen a lot of pastors and churches come and go, many have had limited impact in the quality of life here
in Fort Walton Beach. Roy and his entire family have definitely had a positive influence in our community. Pastor Roy has
a message of hope and exposes many people to the depths of God’s love. They are particularly effective in reaching young,
at risk teens. Many of those young people are being challenged and enabled to live productive and law-abiding lives through
Roy’s ministries.. James J. Grabo Senior Pastor Covenant Community Church
I have known Roy Mills
for the past several years; he has had a positive influence in our community as a pastor and worship leader. Obviously in
this role he has touched many lives, whether in times of crisis or in a joyous occasion. He has uniqueness to his ministry
that appeals to many. His concern for people is evident and he and his family use their talents to minister to others.
David Beiler, Senior Pastor Evangelistic Center Assembly of God
We have
personally known Roy and Kerri Mills and their family for six years. They have made a positive impact in the community and
a lot of lives. They are a blessing to this city and our country, they come highly recommended.
Charlie
Anderson, Senior Pastor Fishers of Men “A Life Changing Ministry”
I have known
Pastor Mills and his family since their arrival in this area. He has had a strong positive influence in the community helping
with many churches and working with the young people to prepare for their lives as adults. We have seen his home life to be
a positive reflection of his values and parenthood. I have no reservation in this recommendation.
Phillip
R. Troullos, Pastor Family Christian Fellowship of Destin
I just wanted to share how effective
the ministry of Pastor Roy Mills and his family’s music ministry has been in our community. They have been involved
in many GRACEFEST non-profit events in the community and have really made an impact through their ministry in reaching others
for Christ. Each of them have displayed an incredible spirit of Grace and won the Spirit Of Grace Award from this large event
this past year, for not only their talent but also their serving spirit. They have traveled on many occasions throughout our
region to minister to others in need of encouragement without expectation of anything in return. I have been acquainted with
Roy Mills and his family’s music ministry since the year 2001. They have been and continue to be a blessing to our area
and are impacting many for the call of Christ. I look forward to many more years of having the pleasure of them being in our
area as they continue to grow their ministry.
