Pastor Bruce H. Anderson
Dear
Pastor:
I have had the privilege of being the pastor for Bob and Becky Bass for the
greater part of nine years. During all this time, Bob and Becky
demonstrated a desire to serve the Lord, a burden for the lost, and a special
interest in missions. They have worked hard to finish their education,
pay off debts, and prepare for that day when they could totally commit
themselves to where the Lord is leading. They have twice gone to Peru to work
alongside the missionaries on short term projects. They are confident
that this is where God wants them to minister long term.
I heartily recommend Bob and Becky as worthy recipients of your prayers and
support. As a church, we will do what we can to get them to the field and
would value your partnership in this venture.
Sincerely,
Bruce H.
Anderson, Pastor

Pastor Troy Louis Lohmeyer
March 8, 2013
To whom it may concern:
I would like to introduce you to and promote
the ministry of Bob and Becky Bass, missionary appointees to Peru under Baptist
Mid Missions. My wife and I first
met Bob and Becky about ten years ago while I was a seminary student at Faith
Baptist Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa, and my wife taught speech in the
college. Though we did not have
the opportunity to build a close relationship with them at that time, God has
seen fit to make our paths cross once again. I accepted a call to be the pastor at Calvary Baptist Church
in Kingman, Arizona, on August 27, 2012.
Since that time I have had numerous opportunities to visit with Bob and
Becky, become better acquainted with them, observe their heart for ministry and
dedication to serving Christ in the fields of Peru, and discuss doctrine and
theology with Bob. I see within
Bob and Becky teachable spirits and a sound, growing marriage relationship that
honors God, one required of ministers of the gospel.
Their desire to serve Christ on a difficult
foreign field demonstrates one necessary component of the gospel ministry—a
compassion for people lost in their sins.
Bob and Becky truly want to reach out with the gospel to people who have
never heard the good news of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. The jungles of Peru remain largely
unexplored, uncharted waters by Bible-believing missionaries. The Bass’s desire to go to the jungles
also shows their willingness to sacrifice personal comforts for their
Savior. When they arrive on the
field they will face a marked change in culture and will live without the
luxuries we take for granted in the United States. Bob and Becky accepted this change as ministers of the
gospel before they pursued the ministry in Peru. In other words, what most would view as
future hardships on the field, Bob and Becky accept happily as a part of
serving Christ and others in Peru.
Bob and Becky have spent time in Peru, and the missionaries there are
eagerly anticipating their return; Bob and Becky have a clear vision of the
many ministry opportunities awaiting them in Peru. They have also studied the Spanish language; in fact, Becky
is proficient in it, and I have had opportunity to observe Bob witness using
the Spanish language here in Kingman.
For these reasons, I support and promote
their ministry and pray that you would consider doing the same. Please give prayer and thought to
taking them on as missionaries via financial and prayer support and verbal
encouragement. As state-side
pastors, we sometimes fail to recognize the trials and discouragements that go
along with deputation. Thus, even
a phone call, text message, or email can be of great encouragement to young
missionaries as they travel around the country, having no place to call “home,”
driving long distances and living by faith that God will meet their physical
and financial needs. Feel free to
contact me if you have any questions regarding the Bass’ ministry.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your time.
In Christ,
Pastor Troy Louis Lohmeyer

Pastor Dick Smith
Dear Pastors and fellow believers,
It is with great joy and delight that I recommend Bob
and Becky Bass for
your consideration to have a part in their ministry to Peru. Both Bob
and Becky have applied
themselves diligently in seeking God’s will and preparing themselves for the
work that God has called them to do on this great mission field. I personally
know this couple and know of their love for the Lord. They display a sincere compassion for lost souls and a
passion to build up believers in Christ.
Bob and Becky have spent a number of visits to Peru as
well as other mission fields. While in Peru they were effective servants for
the Lord and to the Peruvians and fellow missionaries. I believe this valuable
experience will give Bob and Becky a head start in church planting and building
the Peruvian people in Christ.
My request is that you will prayerfully consider
having Bob and Becky in your church and supporting this great and needy
ministry. They will be a blessing to you and your church when they present
their work and burden for Peru. Please consider supporting this wonderful
couple and making them a part of your missionary family. I am honored to be
their friend and mentor. If you have any further questions concerning Bob or
Becky, please do not hesitate to contact me.
In Christ alone

Pastor Greg Landers
In regards to: Bob & Becky Bass – missionaries to Peru
December 9, 2011
Dear Pastor,
It is my privilege to
recommend Bob and Becky Bass as a potential missionary of support. It has been
my pleasure to serve beside them while on a recent missions trip to Arin, Peru
this past summer (2011). They have a burden for the people of Peru and a great grasp
of the various ways to reach them with the gospel of Jesus Christ. God has
called Bob & Becky to church planting under Baptist Mid-Missions and they
have pursued continued training while being here in the states.
They love the Lord and have
demonstrated a desire to be used mightily by the Lord when they return to the
field full time. Having seen the need for solid, Bible-believing, fundamentally
sound church planters in Peru, I believe that God has raised Bob & Becky up
for such a time as this.
Would you prayerfully
consider partnering with them as they pursue the Lord’s timing in taking them
back to the field that He has called them? As you know, they need prayer
support more than anything. Please consider having them come and share their
burden for the souls of Peru. They will be on the West coast starting in July
of 2012 and would love for you to set us a meeting with them.
Please take a moment and
look at their website - http://vimeo.com/28961423
If you have any questions,
please feel free to call me.

Dear Pastor:
Dear Pastor:
I’m writing to recommend missionary appointees Bob & Becky Bass for your
consideration. Bob and Becky’s commissioning church is Olivet Baptist Church in
Westwood, Kansas.
The Bass’ are beginning ministry here at Ankeny Baptist Church in our newly established missionary internship. While living here in Ankeny the Bass’ are seeking to enlist area churches in their missionary ministry.
The Bass’ are missionary appointees with Baptist Mid-Missions to the country of Peru. Bob & Becky anticipate evangelistic and discipling ministries when they arrive on the field. They have extensive missionary experience, having served in several short-term ministries in Peru & Korea.
Bob and Becky will be immersed in all of the ministries here at ABC, working with BMM Field Representative Charles Ellis and our pastoral team here at ABC.
I know you receive as I do multiple letters from prospecting missionaries; do give consideration to extending your church’s ministry to the nations.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to give me a call. Know of our appreciation for your consideration of the Bass family.
In His Grace,
David E. Strope, Sr. Pastor

Missionary Timothy Whatley
Dear Fellow
Laborer,
My name is
Tim Whatley and I was born and raised in the Spanish/Quechua speaking country
of Peru, South America, where my wife, Barbara, and I have been church planting
missionaries since 1989. We praise God for the privilege of sharing His love in
such a receptive part of the world. We are also grateful for those who pray and
give to make our ministry possible. An added blessing are the co-workers God
brings our way. The purpose of this letter is to introduce you to a key couple,
Bob and Becky Bass, who God has already used greatly in Peru.
Becky Bass
is Barbara’s sister. She has always shown an interest in reaching the needy
Peruvian people with the life-saving gospel of Jesus Christ. She lived here in
Peru with us for several months during her high school and college years and
was a consistent help in the Bible School and Radio ministries as well as the
New Life Baptist Church in Urubamba. As a gifted musician, Becky is a boost to
any music ministry truly desirous of glorifying God. She also has a servant’s
heart and helps with teaching, cleaning, decorating and discipling.
In 2003
Becky returned to Peru with her husband Bob, who dedicated his time to many
construction and maintenance projects for the Bible School and our new church plant,
the Abundant Life Baptist Church in Arín. Bob has gradually improved his
Spanish and has been able to impact lives through evangelistic sports
outreaches, song directing, preaching, counseling and teaching. Bob and Becky
have also been faithful to the Lord as they taught English in South Korea for
two years, after which they returned a third time to Peru in April, 2011.
It has been
a pleasure for us to see this couple respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit
in their lives and ministry. They relate well to the Peruvian people and seem
especially gifted for jungle ministry where Bob’s practical mechanical and
building skills, combined with Becky’s resilience and creativity will help them
overcome mundane obstacles in order to keep eternity’s values in view. Their
priority is obedience to God’s call to teach all nations by establishing
God-honoring churches where none exist.
I would
encourage you to consider inviting Bob and Becky Bass to minister in your
church. Their testimonies could encourage wayward young people and stimulate
others to respond positively to God’s call on their lives. As the Basses begin
their deputation/pre-field ministry, we are convinced of their sincere desire
to be a blessing wherever the Lord should take them. Should their path cross
yours, we trust God would encourage and exhort you mutually. Might many be
saved in the USA, long before the Basses return to Peru permanently.
Sincerely in
Christ
Tim Whatley

Missionary Ken Loveall
Hello. This is Ken and
Sharon Loveall serving in Urubamba, Peru with the Bible College ministry. We
are glad to hear that Bob and Becky Bass have been accepted by BMM for service
in the Cusco area of Peru. They have come and worked in Peru in several short
term endeavors and are excited to come down and work on a permanent basis. They
have served in different places and have seen God use them and have been
appreciated. They speak Spanish (and are learning), have made strides in
cultural adjustment and have made investments in the work here. We have seen
them work and their desire to serve. Bob has the ability to take charge and see
a project brought to completion. Becky has a sweet spirit and a love for
people. We ask that you pray and consider what God would have you to do in
getting this couple to the harvest fields of Peru.
Ken & Sharon
