References for Tom Kraeuter

seminar and found him engaging, intelligent, easy to listen to, and most of all,
able to lead us in actually experiencing worship. Tom is gifted and committed,

“There are two words I would use to describe a Tom Kraeuter conference:
‘simple’ and ‘profound.’ Profound in the rich Biblical insights and teachings
but simple enough for everyone to grasp and immediately put to use the truths
imparted.”

“Tom Kraeuter has a unique ability to prayerfully engage the diversity of his
audience with grace, love, humor, and sensitivity. He has an exceptional gift
for teaching and personalizing the Word of God with poignancy and passion.”
Randall Burns, senior pastor, Military Street Baptist
Church, Houlton, Maine
“Tom has a refreshingly candid way of speaking God’s Holy Word to a lethargic
and skeptical society. He shares the rich truths and principles of Scripture in
a clear, contemporary way... He challenged and exhorted our people to take a
look at their faith in a new and more personal way. So many of the conference
participants shared that the messages made them ‘sit up and re-evaluate’ the
daily reality of their relationship with Jesus Christ... Any pastors out there
looking for a catalyst for spiritual awakening? I would strongly encourage this
seminar for you and your congregation.”
Rev. David Johnson, pastor, Amery Free Lutheran
Church, Amery, Wisconsin
“I loved your teaching and preaching! You did a great job and I know it will bear fruit.
