10. He is an unbelievably talented musician. His voice makes people weep.

18. I know this man sounds to good to be true, that is what my brother and Dad thought when they first met him. . . they held out for 6 months. And now they would say he is the real thing!


19. He is one of the most talented speakers I have ever heard. The way he communicates his faith and convictions is truly an amazing gift from God.
