Thomas has a very outgoing personality and it was an absolute pleasure having him visit our congregation. I would highly recommend! The world would certainly benefit from more young men like Thomas Herr.” - Pastor Philip Cook, Ivy Spring Baptist Church
“We had Tom do his chalk talk at our back-to-school night and his entire performance was simply outstanding! I love that Thomas is using his incredible, God-given talent to share the gospel and impact lives for Christ. Would completely recommend 100%.”- Pastor Mark, Beulah Baptist Church, Oxford, PA
"We have had Thomas present at our holiness camp for several years now. First, in our main tabernacle and twice for our kids group. Each year, his chalk talk and message is always uplifting and fantastic. Thomas also taught an art class for our kids group and they absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend Thomas’s presentation especially for a children’s or youth event." - Patty Patterson, Kids Camp Director at Roxbury Holiness Camp and Children’s Pastor at Harrisburg BIC Church
"We had Thomas come present his chalk talk for our Mother’s Day event, and cannot say enough good things about his program! His performance was wholesome and inspirational from start to finish; he also spoke beforehand and tied everything together nicely. It was an absolute pleasure having Thomas come share his talent and testimony. Would highly recommend!" - Nancy, Christian Life Center, New London, PA
"Tom came and did a chalk talk for our extended family gathering this past summer and everyone was captivated by the presentation! The story, message, and picture was perfect for the entire group… captivating for both the kids and adults. So, I encourage all grandparents to invite Tom to your next family reunion and be blessed as you watch your grandkids be captivated by his artwork!!! You will be so blessed by welcoming Tom into your home!! He is truly an example of using the gifts God gave him!” - Mary Ellen Gingerich, Willow Street, PA
“Our residents really enjoyed Tom’s chalk talk presentation! What really sets Tom apart is his gracious personality and ability to connect with the residents… he took time beforehand to get to know many of those who came to watch! The picture was beautiful and he even stayed a little bit later to add some finishing touches for our keeping and display. It was a blessing to have him come and we look forward to having him return!” - Michelle, Activities Director, QPRC
"Tom has presented chalk talks and played the piano several times for the residents at the personal care facility where I am employed.
The chalkart is accompanied by music and usually includes a gospel message. Tom is not only gifted in art and music, but he also relates well with older people. He is friendly, respectful, and a good listener. He is patient in answering questions and shows interest in their lives." -Carol Ebersol, Evergreen Estates Retirement Community
