Pastor Tony, you inspired me to become a pastor just like you. The week at camp was awesome before i came to camp i waz on drugs i waz always drinking but u helped me find jesus christ and i knew that he paid the price if it wasent for my god we would not have been here.
You said that what did God call us to be well god called me to be a pastor i told one of the leaders that i wanted to preach and he said that god told him that i waz on the right path to becoming what i want to be. And i never had a favorite book in the bible thanks to you 1st samuel chapter 30. my mom and dad waz on drugs thanks to you god gave me the words to speak to my parents so at least they believe in God just a little bit.
but to me that aint enough so im going to keep trying. you also taught me that i can forgive but i cant forget. that basket ball game was awesome u got some speed but god helped me out with the threes i guess god was watching. God Bless you Pastor Tony

Hello, I loved your teaching it really touched me a lot!!!! This week the devil really kept dragging me down and tried to ruin the week... but I didn't let him... I know God and Love him very much!!!.... This week I gave it all to him and lately I have had some trouble with gossiping and I really gave it all to God... Yesterday my friend and I were really called from God to go pray with a few people and she was called to pray for this one guy but we were far away from him and after she was done God really told me to pray for this one guy and I just didn't know who he wanted me to pray for and I looked up and there was a guy that was just crying and praying hard, my friend and I looked at each other and didn't even say a word and went to go pray for him and she was called to pray for him as well.. We went to go pray for him and I just prayed for whatever was going on in his life and I found out was going on this morning it is very sad. I was just sharing with you what happened at camp and if you will just keep him in your prayers please... - Cydnee

This week at youth camp God helped me forgive my mother. About seven years ago my mother cheated on my father and it really tore my family apart. I had never really forgiven her.. but when you talked about bitterness I realized I was really only hurting myself. Also, I've started praying that my mother will come back to God. Thank you so much (:

I was there the last week of camp and i can not even begin to explain what God did in my life. I have always heard about miracles and healings but no longer than five minutes after praying he answered my prayer. I was having a hard time dealing with some things that i had done in my life and worshiping God and asking for forgivness still... i just wanted to thank you because that was the best weeek of my life and i plan and am trying to llive my life like i lived that week.

Thank you, Pastor Tony, for the amazing job you did at Camp. Every night you brought something to the table I desperately needed to hear. For a long time I've been considering ditching my Jesus Java Juice to sip on some soup. I had really forgotten how good God is, how much he loves us, and how much better my birthright is. However, this is only a small portion of my testimony. The second night you spoke of wounds. Simply put, my family is a dysfunctional, broken mess. My mother is an alcoholic and has been since before I was born. I have been so angry and bitter towards my mother for even allowing my sister and me to have been born if she couldn't be a mother. I was angry that she didn't just abort me when she had the chance. I was angry at God for the family he has given me. Angry that every time I looked into the mirror I saw my mom. But I laid that down this week. I forgave her. God spoke into my life that I am not my mother or anyone else in my family. When I look into the mirror now, I see myself as a new creation in Christ, a new beginning to my family tree. Friday you mentioned that no one is too far gone. I've been believing that God could not possibly reach my mother. There's no way He could mend my family's broken mess. I've begun praying for her and believing that all things are possible with God. Thank you, Pastor Tony, for your amazing ministry! May God bless you pressed down, shaken together, and running over!

I am not sure if you will know exactly who I am but you prayed for me and explained the baptism in the Holy Spirit to me. Maybe that would ring a bell..lol. Oh and you had me pray over the camp. Well anyway I really just wanted to email you on all that God did in my life this week at camp. Its something that I will never forget because it was just a beautiful experience of how amazing God really is.

Hi Pastor Tony Cruz. Thank You for taking time off to make it out here for us:) I wanted to tell you that you helped me a lot when you preached the word to the youth camp. You were just awesome. I wanted to tell you that my life is so much different now. Also, you helped me realize that I shouldn't care what others think or say about me. Because their opinions don't matter. Only God matters. And I got to recommit my life to Christ and it was such a great feeling. I can say that you helped me get through a lot of struggles that I was going through. Well I mean God also helped me through everything, but if it wasn't for you preaching the word at camp, I wouldn't be how I am now. I just wanted to Thank You and God for everything that you have done. You are a great pastor:) I hope to hear back from you Pastor Tony Cruz! Take Care and God Bless:)

Hello, I was at the youth camp this past week where you were preaching and I wanted to let you know you touched my heart and you helped me further in my journey with Christ. I was so moved by God I fell on the ground crying and ever since I feel like a new person. I was also wondering if you could pray that I stay strong in my faith.
Thank you,
~Stephen
