Christian Camping International:
"As President of Christian Camping Int../USA, a professional association serving over 1000 Christian camps and conferences in the USA, I had the privilege of hearing him (Michael) perform and share his rich cultural experience at a meeting in March of 2000, where more than 200 camp and conference leaders were present. I know that those present were greatly enriched by his wonderful artistry and also his story of life in East Berlin before and after the "wall" came down. Since these leaders serve tens of thousands of youth and adults annually, I'm sure their experience was greatly enhanced and they found occasion to share positively with many others."

Spirit Fest Midwest:
"Thank you for helping Michael (Furchert) to speak at Spirit Fest Midwest. As you know the vision of Spirit Fest is to bring healing and strengthening to families. Michael's message about the hardships he and his family faced in East Germany and the power of a family sticking together, was truly inspirational to the crowd on Saturday. I believe there were a little over 10,000 in attendance when Michael spoke. As he spoke about the value of family, I believe that parents as well as young people were encouraged to let go of some of the truly petty things that divide families to work together as a family."
