What people are saying about the tours:
Bro. Alexander,
Thank you for providing a very professional and well run tour! Every aspect of the tour, from the planning, the routing, the hotels, the lectures, the special music, the preaching, and even the individuals on the tour, made for a Great Week!!
May the Lord bless your efforts, and stir up godly men to stop holding back, and to storm this world with the gospel of Jesus Christ! I know that it stirred my heart, and seems to have had a good effect on R____ and K____ as well. I pray that you are recovering well. I will be praying for your ministry, as you have continued opportunity to have a great impact and influence on many churches and preachers!!
May the Lord Jesus Christ grant you the grace you need, to do all that He has called you to!
Thank you brother!

Dear Jodi, (Mrs. T. Alexander)
Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all your husband’s (and no doubt, your own:-) diligent efforts and labors in preparing the Baptist Heritage Tour. It was a sincere blessing to my husband, and consequently, to me as well! We are so grateful for the impact that you have had on our Christian walk because of our being made aware of our rich Baptist Heritage as a result of that aspect of your ministry. In fact, that is why we are compelled to make donations each month. What a blessing, and oh how important it is for us as Baptists to understand the price that was paid for our liberty!
God Bless, K_____

Brother R_____

God Bless,
