The Blackbeards are an amazing family who have made a tremendous and positive impact on our community. Their generosity, commitment and dedication to those around them truly stand out. I am confident, if given the opportunity, they will continue to make a meaningful difference and positively represent our community for years to come.

This family is such an amazing addition to their community and to our country. They light up every room they enter and they bring the pure light of Christ into every interaction. We need more people like them i our country, those who show love and respect for our country and all we hold dear.

These are good honest and Godly people who have given their all to their community and those who are need. They are not asking for anything but for the chance to continue to contribute to their community and spread the word of Christ.

This family has come to United States to plant a church. They have been a very positive part of the community. They have tried to do everything correctly, and by the rules of law, but the process is broken. I believe this needs to be handled in quick and timely manner for them. They are truly a great family. Thank you.

Warren and Jen Blackbeard have made a huge positive difference in the lives of so many people in the USA, not only spiritually, but they were instrumental in rebuilding homes for complete strangers after the hurricanes. They are a blessing wherever they go.

The Blackbeards are upstanding, servant-hearted, law-abiding contributors to their city and this nation. The same was the case in their native country, where I first met and came to know them over 15 years ago. It would be a completely unnecessary pity for this family to not be permitted to stay, after they have done their part in following all procedure and have only done good in Tampa, Florida. Please consider this in granting what is needed for their continued stay and service.

They started our church from scratch three years ago, and we desperately need them as our pastors.

We became such close friends with this family in JHB, sharing special seasons of life, including being pregnant together. They introduced us to church and were such an integral part of our own faith journey, which we will always be grateful for. They are truly special people, and we’ve experienced their kindness, generosity and heart for others firsthand. We wholeheartedly support them being able to stay in the USA and continue building their church and serving the community they now call home.

This family left South Africa following God’s path for their lives and they have made such an impact in Tampa. Their love for people is incredible to witness.
