"Dear Mike, I also want to thank you for your words as you transitioned into the appeal time. I appreciate your wisdom in asking us to allow you the responsibility of making that appeal on our behalf. I especially appreciated the quiet time of prayer - you could hear a pin drop. We will not be having chicken and green beans next year! We were able to raise $186,000 for the center. This will allow us to expand some ministries that we wanted to expand. The lord certainly blessed us that night, and for that we are thankful. I wish that we would have had more time to spend together, just to talk and allow me to pick your brain a little. Perhaps next time we have you come to town. Again, thank you for partnering with us and helping this ministry to continue to make a difference in the lives of so many in our community." -David Misner Director /Hope Center PRC Fort Wayne, IN
“When Mike Williams was asked to take the spotlight at Focus on the Family’s Director’s Conference in 2002 he had no idea that it would lead him to become the most scheduled and re-scheduled Pregnancy Resource Center speaker in the country. After years of sharing his talents in the church and corporate world, Mike found the place where his unique gifts could be used to the greatest ability and for the greatest importance. When you hear Mike's heartrending testimony along with the adoption story of his son, you will understand why PRC's continue to schedule him to present in their communities. Mike does more than motivate people to give, he moves people to become long-term partners with your ministry, and does it in an extremely positive and very humorous way." -Gloria Leyda
Mike Williams is the most scheduled and re-scheduled PRC banquet speaker in the nation. His consistently high fund raising numbers encourage organizations to use him again and again. His testimony will tell you why he has such a passion in this area, and his very positive presentation keeps the listener in a great attitude and ready to give. It is his hope that you will find the banquet guide insight to be of great inspiration to you and to your board for all your banquet planning and preparation. (link to Mike's personal website)
