Meet the puppetsWhat pastors say
“If you’re not on fire, then your wood is wet”
He has never disappointed us in his presentation or his genius for the Lord. I would highly recommend him for any venue.
Each time he has been inspiring and Christ honoring — whether through his musical talents, puppetry, or sharing his personal testimony.
Not only is he musically sound but, more importantly, biblically sound. After a meeting with him, if you're not on fire then your wood is wet!
The combination of musical talent, humor, and gospel message are a good fit for our congregation. If you have not booked Stephen Forester, you should do so soon.
He has a heart for the Lord and uses his talents to reach out to the unsaved with the gospel, as well as to draw each of us into worship.
In leading the service he is open, inspiring, humorous, and warm, and his love for Jesus Christ was contagious. I've already scheduled him for a return visit!
Stephen Forester will make you laugh and bring inspiration and memorable moments to your congregation. He will be back to our church again.
As a gospel singer he will do a good job and will be a blessing to you, but most importantly, you can see his love for Jesus.
