To Whom It May Concern:
It is a pleasure to recommend Pastor Al Soto to your organization. I have known Pastor Al since 2011 and
have worked closely with him on an organizational turn around, leading a distressed organization through
the process of becoming a healthy, thriving organization. Pastor Al is a catalytic leader who is intentional
in building teams and leading organizational change from a firm foundation in his relationship with
Christ, his knowledge of Scripture and sensitivity to the pace the organization can adapt and grow.
Pastor Al is informed by a conservative, orthodox theology, and integrates it with a leadership focused not
only on the church, or university, but also in reaching outside the walls to impact the community.
Pastor Al embodies team ministry and is able in multiple settings to bring a high capacity team together,
establish clarity and competency for the project at hand, and allow the team the freedom to pursue the
goal to the best of their abilities. Pastor Al empowers and releases those he leads in such a way that he
attracts top talent to work with him.
Pastor Al is above reproach in how he conducts himself on and off the public platform and is consistent in
all areas of his life; what you see is what you get and you always know where you stand. He has a depth
of spiritual maturity that comes from a rich personal experience with Christ. Pastor Al connects with
others in a way that honors them regardless of where they are on the spiritual journey, from not-yet-
believers to colleagues and those to whom he is accountable.
Pastor Al will be an asset to any organization fortunate to add him to their team. Please feelfree to
contact me for more information.
