Over the years I've been blessed to sit under the ministry of Acts of Renewal in diocesan conferences, large national conferences, and in smaller local church settings. On any and every stage, Jim and Carol are able, not only to entertain and inspire, but to instruct. Their dedication to our Lord Jesus Christ, and to His Word, comes out in every performance. I highly endorse!

- Rev. Rob Grafe, Rector, All Saints Church, Pawleys Island, SC

"Women are still talking about Carol's dramatic interpretation of Lot's wife fleeing Sodom in a black cocktail dress and heels. In teaching the Women in Discipleship Class of the Ariel Ministry, I found that what Carol brought to visual learners was tremendous. She enabled us to "see" what was being taught. The combination of the spoken Word and her dramatic interpretation was so powerful. I look forward to working with her again.

- Erilynne Barnum, Executive Director Ariel Ministries

"Carol brings an energetic, entertaining, and captivating message through drama that transforms the hearts and minds young and old alike. Her work is firmly grounded in biblical wisdom and understanding and her passion for the Lord is obvious. Carol allows God to use her for His great good!"

"Your openness and vulnerability makes you so real to us - so easy to relate to. Thanks for being receptive to the Spirit's leading and bringing us what we needed."

- Response from Women’s Event Evaluation

“Carol Anderson's depth of understanding human behavior and dramatizing it from a scriptural basis is amazing. She makes both biblical and modern day characters with all their warts, dark secrets and scars come alive, always illustrating the saving Grace and redemption of Jesus Christ and the difference knowing Him makes.”

- Response from Women’s Event Evaluation

"Jim and Carol combine their gifts and understanding of theater, human behavior, and spirituality in applying biblical truth to real life. Their heart for ministry is displayed “on stage” and “off stage” as they prepare and present material that is contextualized to the needs of a specific audience. Acts of Renewal tackles difficult issues and hard questions with wisdom and sensitivity, aiming at a redemptive work that ministers to the heart."

- Dr. Stephen B. Kellough, Chaplain Emeritus, Wheaton College

"Jim and Carol maintain a high standard of excellence in both content and quality of performance. Students responded enthusiastically in each of their presentations. They were not only supremely engaging on stage, but they attracted individual students to themselves for further conversation wherever they would go on campus, whether that be in the cafeteria or after an evening session. They have a very positive and effective connection with students.

- Tracy Baltzer, Director of Christian Formation, John Brown University

"Jim and Carol bring us a relevant vibrancy in communicating the truths of the Gospel in a form that is accessible and engaging for our campus. Each year they work with us to craft programming which addresses the specific needs of our community. Our students, faculty, and staff consistently give their programs great evaluations. They are easy to host and a delight to know. I appreciate Jim and Carol’s serious consideration of their theatre as a true gift and calling of God to minister to the needs of this generation of collegians."
