What People Are Saying
From the United States
"As Adventures In Missions' project staff coordinator for the past five years, it has been my pleasure to hire and assign hundreds of Speakers and Worship Leaders. I get a lot of feedback each year from the church groups they address. Sam Rowland is, hands down, the best of the best!
Sam is simply a terrific, gifted communicator and musician. And he loves people, which explains why he is always able to build so many meaningful relationships within our mission teams. I only regret that there are not several of him!"
Joe Rogers, Speaker & Worship Leader Coordinator,
Adventures in Missions, Gainesville, Georgia
"What a genuine gift from God!"
Casey Franklin, Youth Pastor
"I realized tonight that I am called to give my life away, to tell others around the world about Jesus. Sam, thank you for letting God Speak to me through you tonight!"
Steve (18 year old American Teen)
"Sam is simply one of the finest ministers I have ever met."
Bart Mcmillan, Youth Pastor
"This week I've learned to listen to God and I'm ready to give my heart to Him daily. Thank you."
David (Mission Participant in Mexico)
"Sam Rowland's last album had three songs that went "top ten" on our station. When you hear his music, it'll make you shout "Amen"!"
Phil Padilla, General Manager KCLY Radio, Clay Center, Kansas
From Europe
"In Denmark, Sam has had a huge impact on students; hundreds have made a commitment to Christ because of his representation of Christ. His music is relevant, his humour is real and he insists on using it for the sake of the gospel. When it comes to communicating to teenagers, Sam Rowland is excellent!"
Leif Johanson, National Director of Youth For Christ in Denmark
"[The message you shared] made me look differently at my life. I realize now that I have God's love and support in my life and I no longer want to commit suicide. Thank you for that."
A Danish Teenager (name withheld to protect privacy)
"We invited Sam Rowland to come and do a concert, and after his presentation he invited those that wanted to put their faith in Jesus to stand [and pray a prayer of salvation]. Well, you'll never guess what happened! Between sixty and seventy young people stood [to receive Christ] and quite a few also went forward to be prayed for individually. For many of our students this began a new chapter in their lives! Now we are looking forward to the follow up work."
Stine Hagedorn, Vice Principal of Odsherred School
"In the past I was afraid to look for God. I had an idea of what Christianity was all about, but some of it was blurry. Sam managed to remove that blur yesterday and lead me on the right way. Last night (at the concert), I opened my heart to God and immediately experienced His love. I have jumped into God's arms and it has changed my life."
Marianne (17 year old European Teen)
"I have observed Sam's dedication to the word of God whether in front of 2500 at the Wembley conference center or before 12 in my youth group. His aim is always to bring people into a knowledge and relationship with our glorious Lord!"
Captain John Smith, Territorial Youth Office, The Salvation Army, London, England
From Canada
"He is one of the best speakers we have ever had."
Peace River Bible Institute, Alberta
"Sam is a wonderful communicator and a sincere and genuine Christian who has no other agenda than to preach Jesus."
Captain Dan Dearing, The Salvation Army
"What a quality communicator! Sam knows how to creatively weave his dynamic music with incredibly engaging speaking skills. The result is fresh and real!"
Pastor Phil Harbridge, First Baptist Church, Vancouver, B.C.
"Sam's unique combination of music and speaking has made him the most effective speaker we have had in a long time."
John Schellenberg, Steinbach Bible College, Steinbach, Manitoba
From Africa
"Sam is really anointed by God, no matter where he ministers, his heart is to serve God and fulfill God's purposes in his generation. We've got to know Sam as a down-to-earth kind of guy, not fazed by anything, and really expressing his servant heart in whichever situation he's put in. He can easily spend time with people on a one-on one basis, and also keep the crowds spell-bound. I've worked with him and seen his sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit and no matter how many times I've heard the songs, there is always a message there."
Angelique Jennings, Youth for Christ in South Africa
"On behalf of our national board of directors, and especially the teens of the Kovango region, we want to thank you for coming to minister in Namibia. Because of the great success of your mission here, we would like to invite you back for a return stay, perhaps for a longer period of time."
Jos Holtzhausen, National Director, Youth for Christ, Namibia, Africa
From Asia
"We were deeply encouraged by the way Sam identified with and made himself available to the young people. The rapport you built with them and the enthusiasm your songs and messages generated greatly enhanced the evangelistic programs you were involved in."
Christopher Tan, Assistant Executive Director, Youth for Christ, Republic of Singapore
