UPWARD SPORTS:    
 
"Tony's heart and love for the Lord is evident...The kids enjoyed the humor, puppetry, ventriloquism and illusions...the kids were touched by the Lord through the message Tony presented and a number of them accepted Christ as their Savior."
- David W. Stebbins, Upward Flag Football Director, Los Gatos, CA

"Tony Borders clearly presented God's truth in a fun and interesting way at our recent Upward Awards Night. The presentation for 1,000 was enjoyed by young and old alike. His use of vent and sleight of hand was excellent. I would eagerly have Tony present at our church again."                                -Matt Walden, Children's Pastor, Grace Community Church, Auburn, WA

Thank you as well for being so easy to work with and having the heart of a servant."                                                                                                       - Rev. Greg Braly, Crystal Evangelical Free Church, Minneapolis, MN

   "Tony did a great job of connecting with our older elementary-age kids in a KidsChurch setting.  While getting and holding their attention, he proceeded with a presentation that clearly, and in a fun way, presented the Gospel while involving the kids at the same time.  I would use Tony again and recommend him to others."  -Brenda Mills, First Baptist Church, Elk Grove, CA

   "Tony, all I can say is you were AWESOME, your material was right on target and God-inspired. I heard nothing but wonderful things!"
                 -Grace Koch, AWANAS, First Baptist Church, Elk Grove, CA

   From a parent: "I can't help but send you a note to thank you for sharing your talents with the families at North Creek Church in Walnut Creek. I have not told them (her children) of the message of salvation because I thought they were too young and I didn't really know how to explain the concept. The way you explained it all really affected them + they have been spreading the message you taught to everyone who will listen! I'm so touched as a mom to see this... Now I am hearing their voices "Jesus is Alive! He died for us + now he is Alive." I just wanted to share with you how your performance has changed things in our household. May God bless you abundantly."-Loren McMann + family.
