Comments from Pastors & Churches
"Barry connected with our people! His humor, magic, and words of
encouragement were a blessing to the leaders of First Baptist
Church. We want him back soon!"
-Robby Barrett
First Baptist Amarillo, TX
"Barry's winsome personality and abilities to move an audience are
apparent at the start of his program. With poems, stories, and great
sleight of hand magic, Barry immediately drew our people to a
relaxed yet fully attentive state. His gift at communicating the
love of Jesus and the need for us to encourage one another could not
have been more clearly portrayed!"
- Lowell Lucas, Single Adult Pastor,
First Baptist Church • Daytona Beach, FL
"If King David was a man
after God's own heart, Barry Mitchell is a man after God's own funny
bone. I have had the privilege of seeing Barry perform for both
adults and teenagers. Few people have the flexibility to communicate
to and motivate such a vast age range of people as does Barry."
- Rev. Chris Taylor,
Persia Baptist Church Rogersville, TN
"Barry is a brilliant
and baffling illusionist whose jokes, skits and stand-up comedy will
make you laugh yourself sick. But somehow, he has a gift for taking
you from the middle of hilarity to the sublimely serious when you
least expect it and calling you to consider the claims of Christ."
- Dennis Hampton,
Kansas-Nebraska Convention of Southern Baptists
"I didn't think you could do any better than
last year but boy was I wrong! The second time around was absolutely
fabulous as well!"
- Susan Tatum
Central Baptist Church Oak Ridge, TN
"Barry has a
wonderful way of capturing the hearts and souls of all who listen
and watch him perform and share the gospel. Several people told me
that their faces were hurting because of the laughter that filled
the evening with Barry."
- Dr. Roger M. Goodwin,
First Baptist Grandview Grandview, MO
"Our Tuesday evening
entertainment with Barry Mitchell was the highlight. One hundred
seventy-five women in attendance almost rolled off their seats with
laughter."
- Giovonnia Hennessee, Secretary,
North Carolina Southern Baptist
Secretaries' Association NC
"We had Brother
Mitchell do a special service for our Teen Department. Not only did
the teens love it, they responded to the alter call for dedication
like I have never witnessed before. He captivated a general age
audience during our Sunday School hour and then hit two home run
messages in our regular Sunday services. Over 16 people accepted
Christ that weekend! Our church is still talking about Barry
Mitchell's ministry and yours will too."
- Rev. Marty Braemer
Fords Bush Bible Church Fort Plain, NY
"What a JOY! Your
Professional Jester representation far exceeded our expectations and
they were already high!"
- James Beasley, Minister of Music
First Baptist Church Crystal Springs, MS

comments received, you will be invited back to perform and
entertain. "He was great" and "This is the best banquet we have ever
attended" were among some of the comments made."
- Phyllis Hood Director
Pregnancy Resource Center, Inc. Maryville, TN
"I was getting email
before bedtime that night. One said, "We have not laughed that much
in so long. "A phone call this morning said, 'It was a great night.'
Barry set the stage wonderfully for what we were trying to do!
Beyond my expectations."
- Rev. Dale Lovelady
Hickory Valley Christian Church Chattanooga, TN
"His magic and comedy
kept the audience in stitches for nearly an hour before he finished
on a spiritual note. Some of the old-timers here have said that this
was the best banquet they have ever been to at FBC."
- Bill Ballou
First Baptist Church Abileen, TX

evening on Friday and excellent motivation on Saturday."

old alike."
