Testimonials

“My husband and I head up a very small nonprofit (1 small property) and minister to men facing life challenges.  We could relate to every aspect of the impactful, realistic story that was told on stage.  I appreciated that it not only focused on the need for underserved populations, but also on the struggle those who are trying minister in those needs face as well. "
