Tom Richardson's teaching vidoes are a valuable resource for any local church that wants to increase the effectiveness of its outreach. Tom certainly practices what he teaches. An extremely effective personal evangelist himself, the principles and content he shares have been tested in a lifestyle that is inspiring and instructive to many.
Rev. George O. Wood, General Superintendent, Assemblies of God
Tom Richardson serves the local church in one of its vital areas of need---motivating and educating people for effective personal witness. His wisdom and insights are both inspired and practical. Tom lives personal evangelism and knows how to teach it. His suggestions concerning how to effectively turn conversations with non-believers to Christ are the best I’ve heard. This course for small groups is a timely resource that I highly recommend to every church, regardless of size or cultural context.
Rev. Randy Hurst, Commissioner of Evangelism, Assemblies of God
Tom is the finest voice I know on this topic. He is a highly effective communicator and teacher. He is also a practicitioner, having led many of his friends, associates and neighbors to the Lord. Most importantly, Tom makes personal evangelism “doable” for the average person.
Rev. Jim Bradford, General Secretary, Assemblies of God
Tom doesn’t just teach by words, but by example. The principles and ideas that he shares are grounded in years of experience. He has a practicality that debunks myths about evangelism and makes real what an individual can do to bring the Kingdom to his everyday world.
Rev. Dick Foth
Tom’s approach to evangelism is refreshing. If you have a desire to see your people equipped to do personal evangelism, I cannot think of anyone who will assist you more than Tom Richardson.
Rev. Gary Grogan, Urbana, Illinois
I have heard the “best” in so many facets of ministering to the body of Christ, but no one ever encouraged my heart in both the spiritual and practical areas of personal evangelism like Tom Richardson.
Rev. Jeff Peterson, Senior Pastor, Central Assembly of God, Springfield, Missouri
For weeks after Tom’s presentation people were still commenting about the material they received, all in a humorous package. We have people becoming more effective witnesses because of this ministry.
Rev. Greg Wendschlag, Cupertino, California
There are very few speakers that I’ve had that I can see any visible fruit as a result of their ministry. Not so with Tom. I can take you to people who have been reached due to his training our people in lifestyle evangelism.
Rev. Steve Adamson, Peru, Illinois
Tom Richardson is a pastor’s friend. His insights and exposure to the worldwide church are invaluable to me.
Rev. Dutch VanderVlucht, Findlay, Ohio
As a missionary and a pastor, I have benefited greatly from Tom’s ministry for 20 years. Tom’s style of communicating puts people at ease. Rather than adding to their guilt about not sharing their faith, Tom’s approach focuses on giving people the tools and the encouragement that will help them be more effective.
Rev. Pat Green, Green Bay, Wisconsin
One of the things I hear my people asking for is help in sharing their faith. Motivation does not seem to be the problem, but practical tools to make it happen are. Tom did an excellent job of equipping us in some very practical ways. I continue to hear my people talk about the tools that Tom taught them. That has been two months ago, so they obviously got it.
Rev. Scott Sims, Charleston, Illinois
Tom Richardson’s call and passion are dead center on the target of your church. Who would NOT want more people more effectively exercising the ministry of evangelism in the local community? Tom has a gifted way of training and encouraging church members to move into the area of personal evangelism. His ministry is recommended to you. You may proceed with confidence.
Rev. Larry Griswold, Superintendent, Illinois District of the Assemblies of God
