"Bob Ely is a highly anointed, powerfully used, and greatly gifted preacher who has never failed to stir my heart, renew my mind, and edify my spirit when I heard him minister the Word of God. He is a devoted husband, a caring father, an excellent role model, a committed student of the word, an excellent teacher, an exceptional preacher, a gifted leader, and a dedicated servant of God who has sacrificed greatly to follow the will of God in his life."

"Bob Ely is the most effective camp meeting and revival minister I have ever heard! His anointed preaching, passion for souls, and insights into the Bible inspires all of us to greater service for Jesus Christ."

"Bob is a man that has such a passion to see the Kingdom of God grow. His preaching is relevant, practical, challenging and applicable. Bob is a great Bible teacher, his preaching is intense, but most of all the Holy Spirit is using him in this critical and crucial season to bring an “evangelistic fire” likened to the churches in the book of Acts."

“Bob Ely is one of the finest preachers in the IPHC family today. We in the Heartland Conference honor both his command of scripture and his preaching skills, and are delighted to be his home conference. While he is a multi-gifted man, the spiritual gift of evangelist is certainly his first gift. I recommend Bob Ely highly."

“I have known Bob Ely for 35 years.  He is a man of stellar integrity, anointed preaching, godly character and evangelistic fervor. I would highly recommend him to bless any congregation or Christian group. Bob Ely is a my friend, fellow minister and partner in the gospel.”
