Cal was phenomenal. His appeal was warm, yet funny – which kept it from feeling awkward or forced. He kept his speech lighthearted but walked the line of allowing the audience to feel convicted as the Spirit led. I have not heard one disparaging remark, only positive responses from everyone who attended the banquet. As a result, we received the highest amount to date from this banquet!

Cal Thomas came to us with great wit and insight. Not only was our evening with him enlightening, it was just plain fun. What we appreciated most was his passionate desire to represent Jesus well in his area of calling. He has done this under immense pressure, against the grain of his profession and with a wide variety of people. His passion is to lead his group of friends and coworkers to Christ and that passion was infectious with our people!

What a joyful time we had last night at the dinner, Gloria! Cal knocked it out of the park! We are praying that God will touch hearts with Cal’s clear presentation of the Gospel and for folks to give to the work. I appreciated his approachable style where anyone felt free to talk with him. He was so kind to entertain a photo-op w anyone who asked.
