"What impressed me most about APeX is their ability to interact with young people both on and off stage. Hey show a genuine concern for the youth, which is reflected in their faith sharing content as well as their willingness to lend an ear to any young person wishing to speak with them. It is refreshing to see two young men who are proud of their faith and continually seek out avenues to bring their message to young people. Their entertaining style maintains the attention of youth and adults." "We expected an ordinary presentation of some scripture stories. Instead, what we received was an extraordinary sprit of two young men who shared Jesus' teachings in their lives and their God-given talents to bring this message to others. We were targeting the youth of our parish, yet also found how wonderfully they had also touched the hearts and sprit in each of the adults present." "Their combination of talent and ministry is well-balanced and well-timed. They had our youth thoroughly entertained as they conveyed wonderful Gospel messages to the young people. Our World Youth Day celebration is held outside in…spite of the inclimate weather, Brad and Gene performed as true professionals, keeping 2,200 youth interested and involved throughout their keynote." "You guys were great, the parish loved y'all, and after all this time, some people are still talking about it. Especially the kids. Every time I meet the parent of one of our kids, I get a comment about y'all. Thanks for coming down and sharing y'all's ministry with us." "...I never send a thank you note the next day, but your presentations really warrant an immediate response! ... Your session on "Faith is Cool!" was both entertaining and inspiring. The young people from both the middle school and high school performances were taught and touched by your stories, your humor, your juggling, and your faith. You really were able to light their spirits with the Spirit of God! ... I feel blessed to know you and the seeds you have planted here at St. Louis will continue with nurturing... P.S. I'll call you for another date next year!!!" "Two young men can make a difference with today's youth, because I saw it happen. Our youth continue to talk about the way these young men turned them toward a stronger faith...In between the times they are on-stage they do more small group and one on one molding by sharing about their faith journeys. When this strong spirit is experienced you do not leave them unchanged...To see young people take a stand with their lives to minister in faith fully relying on Our Father's lead is a rare sight. Something special is happening with these two young men and each of us that gives them an opportunity to connect with our youth will be seeing the Lord's work before our eyes." "What sets Gene apart from others who simply entertain is his commitment and desire to lead teenagers who find themselves searching for truth and answers, to Christ. Gene appeals to young audiences through captivating juggling and inspirational faith sharing. Gene has a gentle and attractive approach and manner about him that easily engages others." "[Brad's] uncanny knack for winning kids over with his humor benefited us tremendously during the time he was here. He helped several of our youth realize that there was a place for them at this church" "I am really proud of the boys. I just hope Gene remembers to eat right out on the road." "Brad is really cute. I like his hair." any 15 year old girl |
