First Baptist Church - Bob Martin, Upward Sports Director

"We had 500+ in attendance with 29 teams and 252 players and cheeleaders. Jim you did a great job in interaction with the children and parents involving them and engaging them throughout your performance. The performance was high energy and funny. The parents and children loved it as they flooded the state after the Awards Celebration. We had 16 salvations, seven who responded that they were unsure of their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and four requesting info on joining our church. Jim you are easy to work with and accommodating. I would recommend you for any Upwards Awards Celebration."

"Hillsdale Upward Sports would like to thank you very much for the fantastic job you did at our End of Year Awards. I would like to thank you for your punctuality and ability to adapt to our schedule. Then to discuss your presentation, well it was fantastic!! Jim you were the buzz for sure at Church the next morning. I was working the Coffee hour, every table was talking about your show and how much they enjoyed it, from kids to adults alike. Your simple yet strong message was heard from all and spoke about for weeks to follow. My daughter and friends are still playing the spoons, a month later. Thank you once more for your show and obvious Love for Saviour Jesus Christ. You get my strongest recommendation. Have a great day and God Bless."
