Because of the character exhibited during a very difficult time and the willingness to make the tough decisions when necessary, I believe that Brother Iannello would be an asset to any church looking to have a revival meeting.

Bro. Paul was a pastor for over 20 years and knows from experience what a pastor and a church goes through and what the needs are. As an evangelist he will certainly be able to minister in the churches!

I am honored to recommend Paul Iannello for the biblical office of an evangelist (Ephesians 4:11). Having known this good brother for over twenty years, I believe his two main strengths are his lengthy pastoral experience and the fine family God has blessed him with.

Brother Iannello is only one of the few I can recommend. He's one of the best I've seen who can preach convicting sermons while being considerate of the minister and congregation. He'll fit really well for anyone's church.

As a former pastor for 20+ years, and with his gracious, entertaining, and biblical approach to the ministry of the Word, he will be a help to you and your church if you are able to have him come and minister.

It is a privilege to recommend my friend, Paul Iannello. He has over 20 years of experience as a pastor and is a gifted preacher. Paul is a genuine Bible-believing Christian who loves the Lord Jesus Christ and the saints of God. Please prayerfully consider inviting Brother Iannello in for a meeting; he will surely be a blessing to your church.

In nearly 40 years of ministry, having established churches in several countries, I have met few of his caliber. I can with the utmost confidence recommend Bro. Paul to you as an evangelist. I know he will help both you and your church.

I would like to heartily recommend a fellow laborer of the ministry of the Lord Jesus to you, Brother Paul Iannello. The Lord is directing him into the work of evangelism, and it is my heartfelt opinion that he will be a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ in this field.

Souls have been saved and many families and marriages have been restored through the years by Pastor Paul's teaching and counseling sessions. He was not just putting in his time as a pastor — he was living the Christian life regardless of his location. His transparency both behind the pulpit and in private spoke volumes to me.

Letters from the road

A blessing, again and again

Full letters of recommendation from pastors who have hosted Paul for revival meetings and seminars.

This is to recommend Paul Iannello as a speaker for your revival meeting. He has preached for our Bible Believers Blowout, which comprises many well-known speakers that other Bible-believing churches desired for their big meetings. I am very selective when it comes to good preaching, and Evangelist Iannello's preaching is one of the best I have heard — it encourages and convicts any church audience from any demographic. What is most encouraging is that he does not desire special treatment or anything that can burden a small church or a busy pastor. He just wants to be a blessing to you and your people. He is a hidden gem that is worth having over.

I had heard of Bro. Paul Iannello from various of my true, King James Bible-believing preacher friends, and finally met him at Pastor David Peacock's 2023 Jubilee in Jacksonville, FL. Though our church year was booked solid, we arranged to have him in for a weekend, and I knew immediately we would be scheduling ahead for him to be back. Bro. Paul is a good friend to our Bible-believing churches and has the wisdom and discretion requisite of having pastored for years. He is a practical preacher but is also deep and well-studied. I would readily feel at ease turning the pulpit over to him even if I was absent from the meetings. Our meetings with him were very profitable for our people.
Pastor Kyle StephensBlessed Hope Baptist Church · Coon Rapids, MN
I had never met Bro. Iannello when I asked him to come preach at our church — I was going off the suggestions of others, much like many of you reading these recommendations. I was not disappointed. The preaching was Holy-Spirit filled, powerful, and has had long-lasting effects in my own life and the lives of the people in our church. The altar was filled after each message. Bro. Iannello's twenty-plus years of experience as a pastor was displayed in the way he conducted himself behind and away from the pulpit. It was such a blessing of a meeting that we have already booked him to come next year.
Pastor Joshua StephensonBible Believers Baptist Church · El Cajon, CA
Paul Iannello is a traveling evangelist, yet he has a pastor's intuition and understanding of the local churches he visits. Bro. Paul is a seasoned saint with an obvious heart for the ministry of God's Word. His preaching exhibits a balance of strong command presence along with a controlled and sober tone. I am always refreshed to have been in his presence. A real man of God such as Bro. Paul offers value to a local assembly which extends long after his scheduled meeting is done. The local churches that Bro. Paul visits will be blessed with such a gift (Ephesians 4). Make sure that your church is included in that number.
Pastor Kirby TabbOpen Door Baptist Church · Brighton, TN
It has been my pleasure to become acquainted with Bro. Paul Iannello and his wife Jennifer. I have asked Bro. Iannello to speak at Calvary on several occasions — he has taught Sunday School classes, filled the pulpit, and been a blessing to me personally and to our congregation. His wife, Jennifer, is also a very good singer who has ministered to our congregation with selections that feed your spirit and touch your heart. The best thing I asked Bro. Paul to do was hold a "Joy Seminar" for our congregation. We had suffered back-to-back losses, leaving us running low on joy. He put together five sessions with a syllabus and covered the subject thoroughly. It was refreshing and just as much a blessing as a revival meeting. I can recommend Bro. Paul without reservation to any pastor or congregation that desires to hear the truth, gun-barrel straight from a King James Bible.
Pastor Vance WillettCalvary Baptist Church
He has been a blessing every time I have heard him preach. We had him in to preach for our family camp, and in this time when so many Christian families are in such spiritual disarray, his messages turned our hearts to work out our family life to honor the great institution that our Saviour gifted us with. My perception of his preaching is that he truly enhances the sense of the Scriptures (Nehemiah 8:8).
Pastor Hilton SmithRough & Ready Baptist Church · Rough & Ready, CA
It has been a real blessing having Evangelist Paul Iannello and his wife in our church for the past two years for our summer revival meeting. His preaching has ministered to our church family and stirred our hearts in our walk with God. He has a pastor's heart and understands the challenges a pastor is facing. He was a personal encouragement to me, and his wife was a blessing to my wife and to our church family. If you are considering someone to come preach at your church, I would certainly recommend him. We look forward to having him back.

I would like to encourage pastors to consider having Evangelist Paul Iannello in to minister to them and their people. Brother Iannello preached our revival meeting this September and his messages were right on target. Clearly God was guiding him as to what to preach and empowering him to deliver the message in a clear and concise manner. My people were very moved and stated their desire to have Brother Iannello come preach to us again.
Pastor James DuttonBible Baptist Church · Chino Valley, AZ
I wanted to thank Brother Iannello for coming to Bible Baptist Church this past September. It was a blessing for our church as he was able to bring solid King James Bible preaching and teaching. I would personally like to thank Brother Iannello for his help and encouragement to this preacher. As my family and I serve in Las Vegas, Nevada, it was very refreshing to spend time with both he and his wife. We look forward to having him and his wife with us again next year.
