“We are pleased that Mr. John Kok has agreed to conduct Christian Financial Seminars and serve as a financial advisor on behalf of Taylor University College and Seminary. His services are much appreciated. God provides various ways to expand our stewardship for Him. However, many times we are not aware of the opportunities. It is our desire to help people plan their own future needs and at the same time invest in the Kingdom of God. John Kok can give insights and help in this regard. We commend him to you.”
- Marvin Dewey, President, Taylor University College and Seminary

“I have enjoyed working with you as seminar leader sponsored by North American Baptist College and Edmonton Baptist Seminary. As our seminar leader, your information, overheads, and delivery are excellent. Your expertise in the Estate Planning field has helped many of our people in their financial planning and their special gifts to God’s work. I have found you to be sensitive and helpful to people and their needs. You have done well for NABC/EBS. We are seeing great results in planned giving and in our Christian stewardship overall. We are grateful for your service on our behalf.”
- Sharon Mayforth, former Director of Development, NABC/EBS

“I am constantly struck by the scarcity of investment advisors who are prepared to openly profess a Christian stance. I have found your professional and morally consistent approach to be refreshing. Eleanor and I have found your assessments to cater to our individual needs, and to be appropriate to our situation. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone considering modifying their investment strategies, and wish you success in your attempts to serve God through estate planning seminars for churches congregations.”
- Dr. Peter Craighead

“I was particularly impressed at the appropriate balance you gave to a Christian’s need to recognize their Stewardship responsibility to include the Lord’s Work in their Estate planning. I consider it is almost essential and certainly highly desirable to simplify the Christian’s responsibility by consulting a Christian professional such as yourself, to avoid the pitfalls and costs that result from trying to do it on your own. I include my personal appreciation and wishes for your continued success in helping others through your experience and knowledge and your Christian commitment.”
- Ray Champion

“John’s seminar provided valuable insight and useful tools to assist in my thinking about my Will, about the high costs of dying and some possible alternative solutions. But perhaps the part of his seminar that caught my attention the most was where he developed possibilities for providing something for my church without significantly affecting what I leave for my family. When John presented his seminar to several others from our church, I discovered that I was not alone in my responses, and that many of them were excited about the possibilities and new awareness he gave them regarding this very important aspect of caring for those they love and care about.”
- John Bruneau, Pastor, First Baptist

“I wanted to take the opportunity to express my appreciation and support for the ministry of John Kok. John came to our church and delivered a presentation on Christian Estate Planning. It was rated very highly by our members. I was thoroughly impressed with the Biblical content, his use of language that we all could understand, his receptivity to questions from the audience, and his humor. Without a doubt, I recommend John to you. I am confident that his guidance on such weighty matters will be of value to you.”
- Reverend Samuel Breakey
