"Your amazing presentations make God's Word come alive in our hearts through each of our senses!"
– Lansing Women's Conference Core Team 2013


"Your wonderful shows are touching young minds and hearts!"  - Kathy Glefke


 “A fun program with a solid Christian message is so needed, and I only wish I could get every church to hire you for their Children’s church  program! Out of all the shows in the world, yours is the kind that so many of us moms want our kids to see.”  - Beth Cooley, Ward Church


"Your team is sensational! You allow your audience to step into the skin of the women in the stories. We laugh, we cry, we are all moved to know, love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. My sincere gratitude to you beautiful women of God." – Cheryl Quin, Lansing Women's Conference


“Thank you once again for being a part of the CC Mother’s Club Evening of Reflection.  Your performance of The Parable Project was outstanding.  You, Lise, and Marybeth reached us on a spiritual level, touching our hearts and minds; and you made us laugh and cry.  It was so entertaining and so moving!  Thank you for making our evening a success and thank you for sharing your talent and love for the Lord.”  – Katey Devine

(Bring Kleenex)" – Cindy Kogut, St. James

"I can say truthfully that every time I see the Parable Project, I am moved to having insight into my own faults in which I am in need of Jesus' mercy and grace to change, allowing Him to work in my life more and more. Thank you for your ministry!" – Grace Lucas, Divine Child
