Welcome to comedy with a message!

WITH OVER TWENTY YEARS EXPERIENCE IN SINGING, DRAMA, COMEDY AND EVANGELISM.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to pass on details of a speaker who shared his testimony for our chapter a few weeks ago.
Dallas shared his humorous and challenging testimony recently at our June outreach dinner.
I can recommend inviting Dallas to share at an outreach function.
Dallas and his wife Bonnie reside in Canberra and regularly travel around Australia with their ministry so you may be able to hook up in some way.
Blessings and regards Mark Bennell

To whom it may concern RE Dallas Atkins
I am delighted to provide this reference for Dallas, whom our school (Harvest Christian School South Australia) had the pleasure of seeing perform.
Dallas came to us recommended from a Pastor at the "Edge" conference in Adelaide and we were pleased to fit him in, as our students miss lots of performers that city students see.
We were pehaps not expecting such a great show! The students were absolutly riveted to his characters and items. The music was very professional, the clips entertaining and the subtle message about Christ fitted the target audiences very well. Our teachers who supervised the students, laughed until cheeks were sore and the students and staff who were invited into the acts had a great time.
I highly recommend Dallas to you and know that you will be entertained and blessed by him.
We wish him all the best as he ministers for the Lord in schools and churches. Yours faithfully

To Whom it May Concern
Dallas Atkins had been the Children's Pastor at capital Edge Community Church for the last seven years and has served faithfully with his wife Bonnie. In that time, they have also toured many city and country regional areas in Australia with Dallas' shows.
I have seen Dallas perform and his material is of an excellent standard. Having been both a Christian recording artist and in charge of one of Australia's largest Childrens ministries myself, I can identify the quality of his ministry. Dallas is a faithful committed church member and loves to share a 'real', listener friendly gospel. He is easy to gert along with, has a servants heart and is very personable.

I can highly recommend his chatacter and ministry to you., Please don't hesitate to call me if you should need further information. yours sincerely.

Dear Dallas
Hi remeber me? I was at the Tinana Christian Fellowship Queensland, my name is Curtis. Your preaching on Friday night was totally wicked!! It really touched me, your a great preacher in bringing the Bible alive. I wish you could come again. Thank you for praying for my eyes, I felt a burning fire in my gut. I looked on your site, It was very interesting and colorful. The videos were funny. Better go, take care and nice to have met you
God bless Curtis

Dear Dallas
Thank you so much for your ministry to us on Sunday evening. It was a great oppotunity to laugh, laugh at ourselves, but also to hear Gods message through you. Our Cafe church seems to have that uniqueness about it of bringing the generations together, and since your material appeals across the generations, we all had a lot of fun that i'm sure will also help to grow us together.
God bless Rev Graham Slaughter

This is a letter of thanks to Bronwyn Dallas' wife
It was a pleasure to have Dallas come and present the Gospel with such a fresh approach!
What is appreciated is the fact you released him to come to us.
To you I commend you and send blessing to you, although you were not here physically.
I must say that you sent a gift to us and that was your husband Dallas, so thank you it was the nicest gift!
May the Lord surprise you with the unusual blessing of joy!

SALVATION ARMY
Dallas, Thank you for your ministry to the Menai Corps last Sunday. We have received lots of positive feedback regarding your prepared performance which was attended by many new folk from our local community. God bless you as you continue in your ministry. David

The show was received exceptionally well in our congregation. Many people in our church found themselves challenged to re-examine their lives to become more of a light to our community instead of being a “walking blackout.” As Officers of The Hawkesbury City Salvation Army, we would recommend this show for any church or organisation that has a desire to have the Gospel presented in a contemporary, lively and inspirational manner. May God continue to be glorified through this new and exciting endeavour.

Whenever there is a fifth Sunday in the month, It's time for the Berkeley Corps family to come together and spend"Sunday at Berkeley" So on Sunday 31 October, Berkeley Corps invited Christian comedian Dallas Atkins to join in the afternoon fun.
Dallas entertained a crowd of about 90 with his comedy production called "Gospelomedy" a family comedy show with a Christian message.....At the end of the two hour show, Dallas brought a timely message of hope. Everyone left with the knowledge that it's ok to have fun in church. Salvation Army Berkeley Corps, Captains Mark & Jennifer Wheatley (02) 4272 1034

BAPTISTS CHURCHES

I travelled with Dallas for a week as he did gospelomedy at churches and beach missions around the top of New Zealand's South Island. Dallas handled challenging venues, weather and crowds with maturity, skill and success. He has both experience and talent in this field as well as a balanced and annointed evangelistic gift.
We saw 20 + non christians respond to the salvation call, including 12 young people at the most difficult show of all. Held in a tent in pouring rain with interruptions from the crowd Dallas pushed through and I watched as during the last song, Slipping Away, the seekers pressed forward, drawn by the Holy Spirit while the disinterested slipped out into the night. The same pattern occurred at each of the venues.
Dallas is valuable for his experience, uniqueness, talent, maturity and incredible sense of humour (if those 2 qualities can co-exist!)
Aorere Valley Church of Christ New Zealand Pastor David Thorpe

Dallas Atkins from Australia, does a seriously funny show called Gospelomedy. www.messups.com He’s a talented guy with a great ministry. For a Church that wants a humorous outreach show, this is the one to get. Grant is happy to provide a recommendation about him.

We want you to come again. Thankyou so much for your ministry to us over the weekend. Your innovative and unique approach, rather than manipuulating the puppets, by actually playing the characters your self, was very engaging. To have presentaion on screen also engaging people well kept the story flowing. The feedback was great.
You were spiritually sensitve to the audience which may have been difficult considering the cafe atmosphere. I appreciate your personal passion to serve the Lord and your creative passion.
Blessings to you and the minstry.
