"The prior year we were able to raise $48,000 in pledges (approximately 300 in attendance) but when I shared with Tim that the Lord had brought us nearly $90,000 in pledges (nearly 400 in attendance) as result of this banquet, Tim rejoiced and praised the Lord with me." -Angela Bennett, Executive Director, SCV Pregnancy Center, Newhall, California.
"Thank you so much for coming. We have had many wonderful comments about the evening. We had 429 plus people in attendance. We raised $56,600 total, that is cash that night, pledges over the next year and underwriting combined. That is $13,000 over last year! Thank You Lord. I believe we will see more coming in over the next few weeks." -Marsha Middleton, Executive Director, Pregnancy Support Center, Lebanon, Missouri
"Tim's testimony of The Power of One was amazing. To see and hear what God has done and continues to do in Tim's life, despite the odds of his survival as an infant, is a true testimony of His faithfulness in all of our lives. I would highly recommend Tim for any event. Last year's net was about $10,000.00 (our very first banquet). This year's net was $30,000.00. Last year's attendance was 290, this year's attendance was 500." -Janna Janke, Executive Director, Hope Pregnancy Resource Center, Wausau, Wisconsin
"Tim brought a wonderful message to our supporters regarding the power of one. He has such a way of blending serious subjects with humor so that you sit on the edge of your seat waiting to hear what will be said next. People were very encouraged and especially loved the time of worship. The outcome financially was $31,000 net for 200 people in attendance! I am extremely pleased with that result. The average giving per couple/giving unit was almost $300, which is extremely high. Monthly giving was very good, with over $14,000 being pledged in monthly gifts. We got quite a few $1,000 gifts, and one $2,000 gift and one family is pledging $500/month! WOW!!! Tim has a real genuineness that people can connect with. Wonderful presentation, can't wait to hear "The Power of a Dream". -Caroline Gilmore, Executive Director, Randolph Pregnancy Care Center, Asheboro, North Carolina
"I would highly recommend Tim DeTellis to speak for fundraising events. Tim not only shared his heart through his message, but also through his piano playing and leading worship. It started our banquet off on a most wonderful note. Tim's message of "The Power of One", I believed made a huge difference to our potential donors. It was a challenge that they as one person can make a difference in this ministry. He so intricately tied his entire message together to personalize it for our center and people responded. It was our second most successful banquet financially. " -Terri Hopman, Executive Director, Lakes Area Pregnancy Center, Brainerd, MN
"Tim has a unique way of caring about the organization by contacting us early before the event and offering his leadership skill to PTC. This is unusual as we have only experienced this once with another speaker. He took time to meet with part of my Board & Staff before the event to analyze what we needed to do to make our fundraiser more successful. Tim has a very humble spirit with a servant's heart. He played the piano while the guests were arriving, and when he came up to speak there was such a spirit of unity among the attendees that we had not experienced before. He had Catholics and Protestants all singing Amazing Grace. Everyone loved him and responded extremely well to him. The CD's he has are very pleasant music that ministered to all including the workers at the Country Club. I would like to endorse Tim DeTellis whole heartedly to any organization planning an event like ours. I can not say enough good things about him, our event doubled the amount of money from previous years." -Janie Rivera, Executive Director, Pregnancy Testing Centers, Pharr, Texas
