The following quotes are from letters of reference that we have on file and would be happy to share at your request.

With pleasure and delight I highly recommend Gene Cordova’s Ministry to your church.

Gene ministered on October 30, 2005 to 430 children and laughter filled the air. He captured the hearts of our children through humor, love and visualization. Even our pre-teens could not hold back from being blessed.

Gene showed expertise in his ventriloquism and balloon art. The puppets were a hit, especially Bongo the primate. Gene communicated the gospel clearly and simply to the children. We thank God not only for his ministry of laughter but his sensitivity to bring the children to Jesus. Gene gave the alter call and between 15 and 20 children responded to salvation that day.

I recommend Gene because he has a heart to make a difference in the lives of children.

I am please to recommend Gene Cordova to your ministry. I had the privilege of serving along side Gene while he ministered to 165 children. It was obvious to me that he has a unique ability to communicate the truths of God’s Word to children and youth.

Our Happy Birthday Jesus program with Gene obviously centered around the Christmas message, but he was able to give our children a much bigger picture of God’s purpose for the birth and life of Christ.

The children, as well as the parents, were hanging on every word; his illusions, puppetry and ventriloquism reinforced his teaching with excitement. I’ve also had the privilege of spending time with Gene’s family, and I can assure you that this family is fully devoted to the Lord.

Gene Cordova and his puppet friends had the children completely entranced on a recent Sunday evening at our church. Gene is not only a good ventriloquist and puppeteer with a heart for children; he also has a strong desire for children to experience and embrace God’s love and grace.

His message, told through bible stories, is simply and clearly heard through the outright laughter his presentation generates.

I am happy to recommend Gene; he is professional, easy to communicate with and has very few staging requirements. We look forward to inviting Gene and his wife, Fawn back to Trinity.

Gene Cordova came to our church to entertain our bible study teachers and their families at an Appreciation Brunch. People are still talking about him. He did a beautiful job of sharing the gospel as he intertwined bible stories and used his puppets to keep his story energized and exciting.

The love Gene has for the Lord and his gentle spirit shows through in everything he does.

Our Pastor loved him! He shared with the rest of our staff what a great job Gene had done and how much fun he had at the brunch because of Gene. We also have a school of 1200 students and the Principal was up trying to get contact information so he could invite Gene back to do a program for the school.

I highly recommend Gene as a Christian Entertainer who teaches sound biblical principles and brings honor and glory to our Lord.

I would like to personally recommend Gene Cordova for ministry. He partnered with us on our kids convention. He had a tremendous impact with our boys and girls. He maintained their interest and creatively challenged each of their lives and hearts for the kingdom.

I have never seen anyone better at presenting the gospel through illusions. Gene is very professional but yet loving to the kids. He understands being a team player and he works with you to help make the thing take place that you want to happen.
