Just
look at what
these pastors had to say!
"I
was impressed by his skill as an illusionist, which was
exceptional. Yet even more so, I was impressed by his focus
on evangelism
and ministry. I heartily commend the ministry and person of
Don
Townsend. His heart is for Jesus Christ and for reaching the
lost with
the stunning skills the Lord has enabled him to develop as an
illusionist. He is humble, unpretentious, easy to work with
and
flexible. Again there were responses to his invitation to find
salvation
through faith in Christ. The young and old alike left
thrilled with the
tremendous ministry of Don Townsend."
Dr. Scott
Markley, Senior Pastor
First
Baptist Church, Lake Wales
“Don
Presented one of the best programs we have ever had.
Not only was he very accomplished in his presentation: he also did a
wonderful
job of presenting the Gospel. I am so thankful that God is
using
people
like Don to carry out the Great Commission. He will be able
to
reach
people that I could not
reach.”
Rev. Chris Whaley
First
Baptist Church of
Longwood
"People
from our church and community were drawn and captivated by your
presentation. You connected with the people and skillfully
drew
them into the illusion. Then, the presentation of the Gospel
was
given to eager hearts. Seventeen responded to the invitation
to
ask Christ into their lives. What a great day!"
Rev.
Wayne M. Thomas, Senior Pastor
Grace
Point Church of the Nazarene
"Don’s
illusions
were outstanding as was his presentation of the gospel. He is
very
professional in presentation and yet made everyone feel as
though they had
known him for a long time. Our people are still
talking about him
and want to have him back in the near future. I highly
recommend Don to
any Christian group that wants a highly skilled professional
performance
along with the name of Christ lifted up."
Rev. Ragan M. Vandegriff III

“Our
church invited

words. Our

Reverend Steve Nolin

church

my course of time in the ministry I have seen different
magic productions done in church, but the one conducted by Don Townsend

hold his
audience at which point he drives home the message."
