AWESOME JOB
Jackie & Richard,
Thank you so much
for all you did at VBS!!! We wished we could have been there, but God has a reason for everything and we praise him in good
times and in bad times. We have heard nothing but praise from our congregation about what anawesome job you both did. We sang
I Have Decided this morning and the children were so excited. You should have heard the "huh" part, it shook the
walls!!! I'll have to sendyou the picture of you in the race car!! It was great. Again, thank you so much for your prayers
and all the hard work you both did. Don't forget mark us on your calendar for the first wed., thurs. & fri in August next
year. Antioch loves you both very much!!Again, thank you!
TOP NOTCH
Their organization is top notch. Their performance and presentation is first class. In their presentation
of the Gospel, their appeal is to all ages. The children and teens respond to their ministry very well. Their
presentation is a special blessing to all who experience their ministry.

CAPTIVATED
The Gillespies
did a chalk art presentation at our VBS in 2007. They presented the Gospel through song and art. Mrs. Jackie was
able to talk and draw which kept our kids captivated. During the week that they were here, we had eight salvations,
six of whom we were able to baptize. I would recommend this couple to your ministry, they will enhance any service that
they are a part of.

SPELLBOUND
Richard and Jackie have presented three chalk drawings for our school and the
students and parents have treasured it. They were able to witness to a mixed audience of Pre-K students age three through
5th grade students age 11 and to these students' parents and grandparents. The audience seems spellbound as their program
uses music, the chalk drawing and the presentation fo salvation. I believe this ministry would be a great unification
for a vast outreach.

AMAZED
...Their presentations are on target every time. I was amazed
as I watched young children totally enthralled as they watched Jackie make pictures come to life through the avenue of chalk
art; and with Richard's help as the "lighting technician" it made the presentations so meaningful. The
children would beg to be the one to take the picture home. Their ministry does not just include children however.
Our adults both young and older, loved the message and the ministry.

UNIQUE
This family's ministry has bee one of the most unique ministries
to minister here at Grace Ministries.
Grace
Ministries is an inner-city ministry located in the downtown area of Lake Charles, La. Our ministry efforst are predominately
to families who live in this area. Most of the families' income is below the poverty level. the adults have
litle or no reading or writing skills and the children attend school in our city with the lowest test scores. Housing,
violence and many other issues challenge these families. I shared this informatio to clarify why I stated this ministry's
"uniqueness". It is a family ministry that shares the Gospel with the most intelligent education to "the least
of those", that the Word of God refers to in Matthew 25:45. It is my prayer that the Sparrow Chalk Art Ministries
will be an added evangelistic resource to your ministry.
