"After meeting Gary for the first time, you feel as if you have known him for a lifetime. In a humble, yet profound way, Gary communicates to the heart with the piercing truth of God's word. And, people are changed." - Ryan Thurman, Pastor, Central Baptist Church, Brookhaven, MS

"I love Gary Permenter! He is one of the most creative guys I know. On top of that, he's an MSU Bulldog fan. But most importantly, he loves God, students, lost people, discipleship, and the Word! His natural wit, charm, and magnetic personality draw people in, and then he zaps you with spiritual truth. While his specialty is youth and college kids, he has universal appeal. Our people would rather hear him preach than me. Use him and you'll be blessed." - Calvin Kelly, Pastor, Valleydale Church, Birmingham, AL
