“Presentations That
Last An Eternity”
“Clean Christian Comedy That Effectively
Equips, Encourages & Evangelizes!”
“You were one of the best presenters that we have worked with in
our 5 years of Upward…your gospel presentation was crystal clear, by far the
best we’ve ever had. You took your time, appealed to the senses, appealed to
all ages, and at the same time used your art-form to share the good news. You
connected well with the audience, and you were first-class. I look forward to
serving in ministry with you again.” Chris Dickerson, Assoc. Pastor for Family Life & Missions, “It was a joy and a privilege to have Steve
Taylor entertain our crowd at Upward Awards Night this year. The
laughter by children and adults alike told “…we really enjoyed having you come and perform
for us. The children AND parents loved your illusions, enthusiasm and your
approach to sharing the gospel. I have had lots of feedback from the parents
of how much they enjoyed you…I would recommend you to anyone!” Debbie Bissonnett,
Children’s Ministry Director,
Tri-City Baptist Temple, Gladstone, OR
“It has been nearly two years since
you provided a program for us at Living Hope Church and people are still
talking about it. It was definitely one of the most fun family events we have
ever had…” Christy Davidson, Director
of Children’s Ministries, Living Hope Church, Vancouver, WA
“…you did an outstanding job of keeping everyone's attention, I found
myself as entertained as the kids. I also thought the gospel
presentation was very clear and easy to understand at any age…115 kids made a
decision for Christ! On top of that, I am happy to report that 32 adults (5
of which were coaches) made a decision for Christ! God definitely used you
March 20th to expand His kingdom.” Ben Bicknese,
His show, a delightful mix of comedy, illusion and
ventriloquism, was well received by all in attendance…In fact,
I am still hearing very positive comments from those who were there. He
quickly engages everyone in the room with his illusions, and his simple,
down-to-earth persona seems to appeal to both young and old alike. But the
highlight of the evening was his sharing of the Gospel. It was not heavy
handed in any way; just a simple straight-forward illusion illustrating what
it means to ask Jesus in your heart…and it worked, judging by the show of
hands when Steve asked who wanted to know how to ask Jesus into your life!
Officially, we received 57 response cards that evening from folks who asked
Jesus into their lives, but I know the Kingdom received more new members than
that, thanks to the ministry of Steve Taylor. If you are looking for a talented
performer that appeals to all ages, and who is fun
on stage and brings with him some great characters and amazing illusions, and
if you are looking for a performer who can lead folks to make a decision for
Christ, book Mr. Steve Taylor. You won’t regret it!” Mike
Molony, Upward League Director,
Sandia Presbyterian Church, “I was very pleased with your performance
and heard positive feedback from others as well. I personally
enjoyed the hilarious "improvisation "
throughout the program. It was truly amazing how you captivated the audience
of I also would like to thank you and
Darlene for making our awards ceremony successful. It was truly helpful
that you booked the airline tickets, rental car, and provided detailed travel
plans. All of the preceding created less stress on me. I definitely
would recommend “The feedback was positive for your program,…The
gospel message was strong and the response was terrific. That was important
to us. All in all, we appreciated you very much…”
“Thanks for everything…We had the most first timers ever in a
Sunday evening service, largest Sunday night service ever, most hands raised
during the invitation, and most important, about 70 first time decisions from
kids and 30 from adults! Everyone enjoyed it and we got lots of positive
feedback. Everyone talked about how much of a nice guy you are. I agree.
Again, thank you.” Pastor Robert Mize, Cathedral
of Faith, “The highlight was your Gospel presentation, it
was the best we have had at any of our events for Upward. Thank you for the
simplicity and easy understanding…We had 78 people make the decision to
follow Christ and make Him their Lord and Savior…the response of the people I
will always remember. I love seeing lives transformed. You and your staff
were fantastic to work with…I would without any reservation recommend you to
others, in fact I already have…if you are looking for someone who presents
the Gospel and closes the deal, Steve is definitely your man.” Jeff
Timmons,
“…the evening was awesome! The Gospel message
was beautifully demonstrated and spoken. We had 20 adults make decisions and
142 children. Yes, I would recommend you!” Bev
Stevens, Children’s Pastor, First Church of the Nazarene, Mt. Vernon, OH, “…thank you for your outstanding performance.
You entertained our audience of over 400, you made them laugh, you made them
think and through your clever message of salvation, you brought quite a few
young people that night to a decision to follow Christ. What a blessing you
are to the Upward program!” David H. Cook, Upward
Commissioner, “The gospel presentation was excellent! We had
103 indicate that they accepted Jesus that night. We had 46 wanting to know
more about our church…You have a good sense of humor and keep it clean.
Working with you was easy and comfortable. I would recommend you to others.”
“Everybody had a great time…your interaction
with the children was amazing…your message was what our group needed to
hear!” Craig Langley, Upward
Director, “Thank you for the tremendous performance…we
couldn’t have asked for a better way to top Upward off than have you come and
give us a great show. The message of Jesus’ love for us that you shared
within your show really spoke to the heart of everyone…many in our church
still talk about it. You truly know how to interact with the kids and adults
before, during and even after the show. We would quickly recommend you to
other for their next event. Thank you so much and God bless.” Brandon
Roney, Upward Director, “Thanks for the presentation you did for the
Upward kids at “We had 99 responses to the gospel and I know
one kindergartner that has really changed and become a little prayer warrior
since accepting Christ that night. This demonstrates that lives are being changed.
Thank you for all you did…I really appreciated the letter that you sent
regarding how to prepare for an Award night, I was encouraged by your
advice…I would highly recommend you…” Lauri Ferring,
“Thanks for your ministry to our Upward
families! I received many positive comments. The gospel message was clear and
effective. Thank you for how you ministered. You are a man of
character. I have worked with several regional and national children's
presenters, all were good people, but not all were professional or had a
heart for ministry. Your wanting to be clear about the details, arrive on
time, pray and meet the children speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing
your skills as a ministry and not just a job!” Matt
Walden, Family Ministries Pastor, “We were very
pleased…The volunteers, players, and families laughed so much, yet also
received the message of Jesus Christ. There were many decisions made and a
few families have returned to our church to worship. May God bless you and
your ministry.” Brian
& Karen Birdy, Upward
Directors,
“Thanks again for coming and doing a great job this past
Sunday evening. We are following up on 29 decision cards from children
and 4 cards from parents, two of which said they prayed to receive
Christ. This is one of our best results from an awards night in our
three years of Upward. Thanks for your role in it.” John Gregory, Upward
Director, “We were all amazed as we watched you perform.
Your ventriloquism and illusions made us all laugh. Everyone enjoyed the
program… parents and children were still laughing at your puppet the next
day. Thank you also for “You were delightful…You were so funny...I thought the
children enjoyed all aspects of the program…You did a wonderful job, thanks
again!” Betty Lynn Freeman, Upward Coordinator, Christ United “You did an
excellent job in using humor, illusions, Rudy and stories of God’s truth.
Everyone loved it. The part you did in the main service was perfect too. I
believe you put new, un-churched people at ease. It was a perfect balance.
May the Lord bless your ministry.” “One
of the best features of your program is that it works well for the whole family!
What a treat to see families enjoying a great program together. Your
presentation of the gospel was clear. We had ten children commit their lives
to Christ for the first time!” Duane
Weaver, Children’s Pastor, “The kids loved the program and the grandparents got a
kick out of seeing the grandkids enjoying themselves. The laughter was
contagious and the message was wonderful. God has certainly blessed you with
a great way to communicate to people of all ages. I would certainly recommend
you to anyone looking for quality entertainment.” Shaula
Simpkins, Development Director,
“…the
Sunday evening Family night was great…The true blessing came for us on Sunday
at bedtime when I had an opportunity to talk with Joey (age 6). The
illustration of the balloons filling the little boy's heart really touched
him and he learned that we need Jesus. I asked him if he wanted to pray to
receive Jesus and he said, ‘Yes.’ Joey told the family at dinner and added
that his ‘belly was full of chicken and rice, but his heart was full of
Jesus!’ I'm so thankful…”
Parent, “I would highly
recommend Steve Taylor, The Magical Ventriloquist. Steve is an extremely
creative and talented person who kept our audience hilariously entertained
for well over an hour. I know he would
be a great blessing to other churches in “Steve Taylor went above the expectations I had for the evening,
which were very high. I would
recommend him to anyone who was looking to bring quality programming into
their church.” Paul
Stockton, Family Education Pastor, “Thank
you so much for the wonderful presentation. You had a lot of energy and
everyone had a lot of fun. We would definitely recommend you to any other
church. Thanks for your ministry in providing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in
such a unique and fun way.” Bobby Moore,
Children’s Pastor,
