As a youth pastor, I would call James in to do Youth Revivals, Valentines Banquets, and other special events. James has a way of connecting with students and young people that is rarely seen, always willing to go to the schools and visit the students. But the ministry the Lord has given him doesn't stop there. As a pastor, I invited James for our Church Revival. Again, the event was well attended and the people hung on every word. Every time James is in the pulpit, lives are changed.

James' presentation is unique, humourous, but above all hard-hitting, to the point, and absolutely doctrinally sound. He exposits the Bible with such clarity and passion, so as no one, not even the most seasoned Christian, is left unconvicted.  Every service with James Croft, you will have a wonderful time, but by the end of the service the Lord will be speaking to you.

James indeed leads a service with a focus on Jesus and not himself. As he came and led our church in our revival meeting there was no doubt that as we had prayed for hearts to be prepared for reviving, James had prayed for God's word to speak to us specifically to our needs. He brought about messages of healing and hope and challenge to be passionate for Jesus. James reminds me of young David. Though the typical armor may not fit him, God provides him with His shield and the tools to which we are able to slay the giants of our lives.

I have gained the utmost respect and admiration for James Croft.  He has taken what some would view as a potential liability and turned it into a powerful possibility.  I have watched James grow both personally and professionally as he birthed and now administrates the James Croft Evangelistic Association.  His ministry and mission efforts now stretch from the heart of Baker County Florida to the streets of Ghana, West Africa.  I know personally many of the men who serve as the Board of Directors for JCEA and James has chosen men of the highest moral fiber and integrity to give direction to the ministry.  James has spoken at numerous area Churches in revivals, Vacation Bible School activities, and has been the featured speaker at our Annual Association Meetings.  God has truly gifted James Croft to be an evangelist, a gift which the church and our world desperately needs today.

Brother James Croft was a blessing to us at Riverside Chapel Baptist Church.  He preached with clarity and conviction.  We had a chance to go to Nahunta Primary School where he shared Bible stories with a few classes.  He was a blessing to them and I also enjoyed his fellowship.

James, thank you so much for what you do for the kids. My 5 year old saw you today and thought you were too cool!!! She was impressed that you read a story to them and showed them you could run fast:-) (she's never seen a real life Leprechaun before.) May God richly bless you.

"For a Spirit filled Bible believing evangelist, just call evangelist James Croft. Twice he was wonderfully received at First Baptist Church; and the second revival resulted in ten professions of faith."

Sue Staten Combs

"Your sermon was a blessing to us at Raiford Road Church. How awesome it is that God can and does use all things for His good! Your trials over the past 6 months brought an awesome testimony that I know many of us needed to hear. Your message made me more sensitive to what others go through during a time like this."

Rusty Bryan

"Brother James Croft preached a revival at our church and we immediately developed a friendship. He is a man who loves Jesus. He cares about lost souls and the Church of Jesus Christ. He preaches with power and conviction. Any church that has the opportunity to have Brother James come and preach will be blessed, but more importantly Jesus will be glorified and the Word of God will be proclaimed."

Keith Stewart

"Brother James came and lead us in revival a few months back and it was great. Our people loved him and they loved his desire to be used of the Lord. Since the revival, we have had over 25 new people join our church. So far, 8 have been through baptisms and more are on the way."

"The urgency of the times is reflected in Brother Croft's strong appeal to the lost to be saved and for Christians to be about God's business. He preaches the Word of God without compromise, and above all he is a personal soul winner. Your heart will be blessed by his ministry."

Hugh Dampier

" 'Dynamite comes in a small package' is an old saying, but it applies in the case of James Croft. Small in stature, James is big in preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has a heart for Jesus and is committed to lifting up Jesus that people might be drawn to Him. James is repeatedly used by pastors in Beulah Association, which is both a testimony of God's hand upon him and the trust of the pastors."

"This has been one of the best revival meetings that we have had as a church. More people were touched by the Holy Spirit than I have seen in the 37 years I have been a member. May God bless you in your upcoming events. He surely blessed us through you."
