What Churches Are Saying
Thank God for Bart Ponders! He is not just an evangelist, he is an evangelizer! He connects, models, and transmits the gospel of Christ freely and intentionally. Just ask the cashier when he pays for his gas, the receptionist and the housekeepers at the hotel, the businesses he visits, the restaurants where he dines or people he encounters on the street. With Bart Ponders a church not only experiences truly inspiring revival services, but also a missionary on the field. His life story is a demonstration to all that God honors brokenness, repentance, humility and obedience to the Great Commission mandate. He demonstrates all of that because he has personally lived it. Brother Bart likes to say, 'Here's the thing...I have never gotten over my salvation.' Not only do I wholeheartedly recommend scheduling him for your church's revival, it is my prayer that you do so.
Rev. Alan McCoy, Senior Pastor

It is with great joy and full assurance that I recommend the ministry of Bart Ponders to your church. Bart is a tremendous communicator of God's word and his ministry is above reproach. He will speak to your adults as well as your students. God is using Bart to reap the harvest. I encourage you to use him in your next revival or harvest event. You will be glad you did!
