More of Jonathan's References

"Jonathan was the keynote speaker at our Youthfest 2000 event this year with Sonicflood. The comments I keep hearing from our administrators is "Get that guy back here to do a week of chapel for us!" I also heard several students say, "I usually don't listen to the guy up there- but Jonathan was speaking right to me!" The student evaluations came back saying that his sessions were "great." In fact, the number one thing that students said they would change about YOUTHFEST '00 was to have tapes of the speaker available. I have never seen high school students respond with that before. Jonathan was a highlight of our youth conference."
Terri Dingfield
Director of Admissions
Grace University, Omaha, NE

"I was at an event where I got to hear Jonathan. If you want your young people and your adults to be touched by God, and to build stairs closer to him - you need Jonathan - because he will do a great job and he'll never let you down."
Reggie Dabbs
National Youth Speaker

"When Jonathan comes to talk to your young people - he's going to bless you. He's gonna bless your young people because its right on their level, and they can feel where he's coming from. Jonathan can talk to different cultures - different backgrounds of kids and bring them all into one state- one mind - and hit em like POW! right there, right in the heart and share with em the true message."
Fred Lynch
Josh McDowell Ministry

"I would HIGHLY recommend Jonathan! He's been the speaker at several of our programs and events. Some of the reasons we think he's great: 1. Kids love him and THEY LISTEN! 2. He spends time interacting with leadership and youth. 3. He's well prepared, yet still flexible. 4. He never says, "That's not my job." Book him and relax- you've found the right person." Rev. Bill Cox
Co-Director Senior High Summer Camp
American Baptist Churches of the West
Sierra Pines Baptist Camp

"Jonathan is hilarious and a fantastic story-teller. His stories effectively prepared students to receive God's Word in a way that was applicable to their lives ... when he opened the Scriptures, they were eager to hear."
Dave Price
Youth Specialties Speaker
Western Seminary Professor

"Jonathan had us laughing so hard we had to clean the floor afterwards!"
Youth Pastor
Cornerstone Community Church, Auburn, CA

"Jonathan's communication style is a combination of a story teller's humor and realities of life- coupled with an ability to clearly communicate God's word. I would recommend him for both outreach and growth events."
Gary Fox
Executive Director
Youth for Christ, Sacramento CA

"Jonathan went past the surface and got to the hearts of our kids."
Keith Haines
Youth Director
Gateway Church, Carmichael, CA

"Jonathan is an excellent communicator. He keeps the audience laughing, while at the same time keeping them focused on learning. He'll hit a grand slam for you!"
Jennifer L. Morgan
National Director of Staff Development
Youth for Christ/USA

"Jonathan came in and trained our Junior High Student Leaders and our staff on multiple occasions. It was the most practical, fast moving, entertaining, and relevant training I have seen. He communicated with passion and integrity and he connected with the students and staff so they left with confidence and excitement to put their training into action. I wholeheartedly recommend him to youth leaders ... bring him, put him to work, and watch the spirit move!"
Greg Weisman
Director of Jr. High Ministries
Bayside Covenant Church, Granite Bay, CA

"Teaching staff has got to be one of the toughest jobs in ministry. However, along comes Jonathan with more than a good outline, more than some great success stories, more than a sense of humor that makes you forget your actually learning something, he comes with passion and a heart intent on helping people. It is my privilege to recommend him."
John Selph
Regional Training Director
Youth for Christ, Southwest States

"If you are looking for someone to clearly articulate to your students how to share their faith, check out Jonathan McKee. Jonathan helps students see how easy it is to share your faith through great illustrations and easy-to-remember steps. He does a great job of helping student's understand the need and then giving them the skills they need to meet that need!!"
Kaylyn Wilson
Director of Partnerships
DC/LA 2000
