Apostolic Covering

Alan & Robyn Small, March 2005

Hello I'm Alan Small and, with my wife Robyn, I pastor a church in Toowoomba Australia. David Stanfield has been a part of our congregation for many years. I have been David's pastor for 10 years and know him very well. I provide apostolic covering for his ministry which I have watched expand and grow.

I'd just like to share with you that David is not a lone ranger - he comes under our covering and shares everything that he hopes to do and everywhere he hopes to go. He is not out there on his own, he is backed by a congregation and loved by us here. He looks for covering and intercessors who will pray for him and seek the Lord as to what he should do. I highly recommend him and his ministry to you.

It is not just our church that knows and honours and respects David and his ministry. The whole city of Toowoomba has been really blessed by the things that David has brought about. We have had many combined church events that David has been the catalyst for, that have done something really special in the city.

He has introduced things to this city that have revolutionised us. Many, many churches have been involved in projects that David Stanfield has begun. They have done something in our city that we are so thankful to God for. There is a unity, a oneness coming in Toowoomba that has a real strong basis in what David has initiated. Most of the things that he is involved with are new, they are not something he is copying from somebody else - they are creative, unique, individual ministries that God is revealing through him.

David has a developing apostolic ministry of his own and its wonderful to see the Lord growing that in him. David is known in many countries as "The Bannerman" but banners is only one part of his ministry. He has a powerful prophet ministry, not just in words but in prophetic actions. He has a dance ministry and is also a teacher.

If you are considering inviting him to come and minister at your place I would not hesitate to recommend David and endorse him.
