| 1. | | "Simply one of the most dynamic speakers I have ever listened to" - Conference Attendee |
| | I just wanted to send you a quick note of appreciation! I have heard you many times at the ‘No Regrets’ conferences and you are simply one of the most dynamic speakers I have ever listened to. I have studied Creation & Evolution for years and listen to all the greats, you’re right there with them. I have taken many people with me to listen to you and they all leave blessed by your intuitive way of presenting. I just thank you for being a blessing in my own walk, and pray that you realize you’re changing people’s lives ever time you speak…
I use a lot of your material in talking to friends & family and it helps me show that Creation is true just as mentioned in the Bible. By the way, your discussion on ‘Biblical inspiration’ is extraordinary; you hit a home run at the conference! You’re too good at what you do, just to be isolated to Wisconsin; the rest of the country really needs to hear this stuff.

| 3. | | "At 23 years old, it took me almost three years to get my faith back. Jay Seegert and his wonderful ministry have helped to influence me to seek out God and live my life for Him." - College student |
| | As a 20 year old college student I did my best to defend my faith on campus at UWM. In the process of defending my faith, it became destroyed by people that appeared to be much smarter than me. Though college is a great place to learn and further anyone's career, it is usually an environment full of sin and a negative attitude towards Chrsitianity.
At 23 years old, it took me almost three years to get my faith back. Jay Seegert and his wonderful ministry have helped to influence me to seek out God and live my life for Him. Jay's is a great speaker and is great at helping people solidify what they already believe and to defend it when needed.
If you are doubting your faith or are an athiest and feel like the media, your professors, peers, coworkers or friends are influencing you to doubt Jesus, it would be worth your while to attend any of Jay's events or seek out his advice. I'd reccomend him for any social gathering or church event. Thank you Jay!

| 4. | | "God has greatly gifted this young man" - Camp Board President |
| | In September of 2005, Jay Seegert was the main speaker on Biblical Creation at a three day weekend seminar at Crescent Lake Bible Camp in Rhinelander Wisconsin. He spoke before older people who had "heard it all," younger people who knew very little, strangers from around the country and old friends who had known him for years. His chapel presentations were so powerful and exciting that instead of the usual declining attendance at these types of seminars, everyone attended all six sessions and bombarded the unflappable Jay with all kinds of questions. Many of those "who had heard it all" said this was the best they'd ever heard and others raved about his knowledge and presentation skills. I can't think of a situation that Jay could not handle, and handle it sensibly and sensitively. God has greatly gifted this young man.

| 5. | | "tremendous knowledge of science AND the Bible and managed to blend the two of them together in what I can only describe as genius." - Sr. Pastor |
| | Recently we hosted Jay Seegert, founder and president of the Christian Education Center, at our church. He spoke to our weekend congregations and led an evening seminar on Science, Creation and the Validity of the Bible.
Not only was it immensely interesting, Jay displayed a tremendous knowledge of science AND the Bible and managed to blend the two of them together in what I can only describe as genius. His presentation, which included on screen visual support, was engaging, at times entertaining, informative, challenging, mind-stretching and anointed. Jay obviously knows what he is talking about and the authority with which he spoke on the subject garnered our trust, put the listener at ease and made the ministry all the more effective.
In addition, he was personable and friendly and so very easy to work with. We thank him for his effective ministry to us.

| 7. | | "Biblically based and full of intriguing facts ... highly recommend these conferences" - School Administrator |
| | The creation seminars given by Jay Seegert at Rock County Christian School were extremely well done. All three sessions were Biblically based and full of intriguing facts that were brought to life through the speaker as well as an excellent PowerPoint presentation. Our students were challenged to look at the evidence of creation with a correct understanding of the Bible account along with a better definition of science. The question and answer time following each session helped to clear up any doubts or misunderstandings the students may have had. I would highly recommend these conferences to others who are looking for some straight talk about this important topic.

| | I’ve seen many presentations on creation and evolution before, but the Creation Education Center connected the best with the audience. The lecturer was able to explain and illustrate concepts for non-technical people as well as keep the science minded students very interested and engaged. The visuals were extremely helpful. A great primer on grasping the terms, challenges to tenets of macro-evolution, evidence of intelligent design, irreducible complexity, and how this relates to the Bible. Jay’s initial lecture was so well received that the second one was packed out to overflow. There were plenty of questions to follow, and many students stayed late to talk with him. We are following up with a few that want to take their questions about science and Christianity more seriously. I heartily endorse the Creation Education Center for use with college students. We plan to utilize them again.

We have a Creation Conference each year at Indian Rocks and bring in speakers from all over the country. Jay’s presentation was well received by our entire congregation. The study of the magnificent creation of our Lord can sometimes be very technical to the point of it being difficult to understand. Jay has a gift of making his discussions on creation engaging and easily understood. I highly recommend Jay to any church considering discussing this topic.

He has obviously done extensive research in these areas and it is very evident in his teachings on creation and evolution. He loves the word of God and it shows in his life and ministry. His ministry is very vital in the days we are living in as we get closer to the Lord's return!
We look forward to him coming back.

| 12. | | "His sense of humor and passion for the truth resonate well with this age level." - Bible Teacher |
| | Jay Seegert is a gifted teacher and presenter. He is able to present complex scientific concepts in understandable terms to his audience. I have seen Jay speak fluently and connect with a wide variety of listeners. On several occasions we have extended our chapel time at West Suburban Christian Academy to allow for the multitude of questions that our middle school students had for Jay. His sense of humor and passion for the truth resonate well with this age level.
Jay also communicates effectively with young adults. The College and Career Ministry at our church recently used Jay’s teachings on intelligent design. Many students had been struggling with faith issues and unanswered questions. God used Jay’s teachings to bring understanding, truth, and insight to these young adults.
I personally have been deeply impacted by Jay’s passion for God, his insight, and his knowledge of God’s truths. After each of Jay’s talks, children through adults will walk away with a deeper appreciation of our Creator and the magnificence and complexity of His creation.

| | Thank you for sharing the biblical view of the earth’s origin at West Suburban Christian Academy. Your excellent presentation went beyond what the students had been learning in their earth science class about fossils and the geologic time scale. The power point presentation introduced them to a myriad of ideas supported by scripture and logical thinking. Several quotes you gave from evolutionists were later dissected in class, determining the types of faulty reasoning.
We appreciated the professional, fast-paced presentation followed by a chance to ask questions. Our faith received a boost!

| 15. | | "...the kids are EATING it up and asking lots of questions!" - Women's Ministry Director |
| | I heard just this Saturday that someone has been checking out your DVD's from our church resource center and having their young children watch them and the kids are EATING it up and asking lots of questions.
Someone else told me that the young adults/college age kids really enjoyed your presentation because you just told it like it was - with some humor of course but there was nothing fake. I guess they were saying you were authentic in the way you presented and they really appreciated that and seemed more eager to consider all you said.
So many others have been impacted by your visit. For some it was just confirmation of what they believed. For others it was new. And for some it sent them investigating further.
Anyway - I just wanted to again say THANK YOU! You made an impact by being in Fond du Lac that cold wintry day in February. And - as I heard this week - the impact continues! That is truly the fruit of the Holy Spirit when one can see the ripple effect going on and the work you do is so much bigger than Jay Seegert - it's a work of the Holy Spirit!
I think God is honored and glorified by your humble service to Him! Thank you again for sharing your gifts with us!

While at our school and church, he challenged our students and staff through his teaching and presentations, providing strong biblical foundations for all that he shared.

His presentations were interesting, engaging, well-documented and important for our church to hear. I recommend Jay as a speaker for other churches that believe in Biblical inerrancy and want their people to understand God as the source of creation.
As a pastor, I will want Jay to return and speak in our church on a periodic basis. Not only do our current people want to learn more, but our newcomers will need to understand Biblical Creation.

You can tell from how he speaks that he is passionate about helping others see the TRUTH about creation and evolution. You can tell that God has gifted him with the ability to take complex science and explain it in a way that makes sense to the rest of us. It's great having Jay speak to the college students and help counter what the professors are teaching in the classroom. I would encourage anyone to have Jay speak at your church or campus.

| | I have worked in a scientific/technical environment for over 20 years. I was saved about 12 years ago and since then I have debated with many very intelligent and very atheistic people. As a result I have found that my beliefs about creation and evolution were becoming very watered down and unbiblical just to reconcile what I THOUGHT I knew. Thanks to Jay and his very in-depth knowledge, I have renewed my faith in the Biblical truth about creation. I have found that the science that I work in every day does not contradict my beliefs, but confirms it. I actually apologized to my children for some of the misguided things I was saying about creation. Thank you Jay for your pursuit of the truth!

| 25. | | "The series of seminars touched on the majority of the questions that I was being asked." - Seminar Attendee |
| | Jay came to speak at the small church I attend in southeastern Wisconsin. I had been to a few seminars and I've always learned things; however, the three days that Jay spoke really hit home. I have been doing a lot research about Creating and science and how/if the two could fit together. I ended up writing a ten page research paper for my English course on the topic in my secular university which sparked many conversations and I was asked numerous questions that I hadn't the slightest idea how to answer. In the process of doing research I came across an article that was written by a man who claimed it was entirely possible to believe that God used evolution and hundreds of years to create the earth and living things without discrediting the text of the Bible. Listening to Jay speak not only answered a lot of the questions that I had been asked in class about my paper, but it also helped me in my time of confusion. I didn't know if I believed that God could have used evolution. It didn't seem like it fit to me, but I didn't know why I thought that. Jay cleared up a lot of information on that front. Lastly, I have been having many discussions with the young man I am dating because we have differing views. Jay's series of seminars touched on the majority of the questions that I was being asked in these conversations. I was touched by Jay's information in more ways than one and I pray that God continues to reach people through him.

Our science teacher, whom you met after the assembly, shared this morning in department devotions that one of the students was interested in learning about the differences between Christianity and Buddhism. Another is apparently searching for answers, and your presentation continued to fuel his interest. He was doing his own research yesterday afternoon. Another one of the students came to me at lunch time yesterday and asked for more reading material on the topic you presented. I expect more interaction with the students on these things throughout the rest of the week. Thank you!
