Letter of Recommendation

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM GRACE ADVENTURES

October 12, 2012
To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Cherri Bornman as a worship leader. I am the Program
Manager at Grace Adventures, a Christian camp and training center in Silver Lake, Michigan. Cherri has
lead worship for 3 years in our Women’s Retreat program.
Over the 3 years that Cherri has participated, our program has grown from 100 women to over 250 and
she continues to receive rave reviews from attendees. In fact, she has never received a negative review.
Cherri’s worship style is simple but authentic and powerful. She easily relates to the attendees using
humor, personal stories and testimonies and is then able to smoothly transition into a worship
experience. She is extremely talented vocally and on the piano and has a great balance between types of
songs she chooses from traditional to contemporary, upbeat and slow.
Cherri is very easy and fun to work with. She is flexible and really desires to meet the needs of the
program. Cherri is also organized and always gives us the information we need well in advance.
Although she has only lead worship for us in Women’s Retreats, I have no doubt that she would be
excellent with any adult or family group.
In addition to her musical skill and talent, Cherri is a huge benefit to our program in that she is not just
there to play music but to minister. On many occasions she has gone out of her way to form
relationships with guests, to listen and talk and pray with them. She is a woman of strong faith and her
passion for God’s love is evident in her actions and speech.
If you are looking for a worship leader who will authentically and sincerely draw people into the
presence of God, I highly recommend Cherri. She has a true heart for worship and we have been blessed
to have her as a part of our program and I believe you will be as well. I would be happy to provide any
other helpful information.
Sincerely,
Abby Banfield
Program Manager
