Engage Banquet Clips
Enduring in the battle on behalf of the unborn requires people to engage their wills. This banquet presentation is crafted off of one of C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters. Knowlege is not enough to overcome the evil of abortion. Having the ability and resources to solve problems won’t do it either. Even a keen awareness of the sinfulness of a culture steeped in an abortion mentality is insufficient. Dr. Newman will challenge your audience to take the step that counts: to engage their wills and act on their knowledge in line with their understanding and resources. Most sponsors choose this banquet presentation when they are booking Marc for banquets two years in a row, or with just a year or two in between. Engage can be a stand alone banquet, but it also reinforces the message from the Heroes banquet.

“Marc Newman did it again! This was our second time hosting him and he did not disappoint! His first visit was our highest grossing event ever, but this visit topped even that one! Marc has a remarkable way of connecting with the audience and really getting them invested in the cause of life. God is using him in a mighty way! Would recommend him to everyone without hesitation, and his pastors workshops are amazing as well!”
Dr. Nanda Duhé Kirkpatrick
“We had Dr. Marc Newman as our speaker for the third time last October. Marc is our favorite banquet speaker. Last year, we broke a record in per family giving at the banquet–which is quite a complement since we had just broken a record the year before as well. Marc builds his entire speech to prepare guests to make a sacrificial donation at the end. No guilt, just an honest challenge. I think he is the BEST pregnancy center banquet speaker available.”
Kimberly Logsdon
“I just completed my thank you calls to major donors (there were so many, it took us a while!). Universally people were telling me direct quotes from your presentation about engaging their will a week later. Our net receipts were 41% higher than last year just in that night and we picked up 42 new monthly partners. You so professionally wove our info into your presentation that one person told me they thought you were a member of our team.”
Elizabeth White
“Our guests loved Marc Newman. The men were challenged to stand for the pre-born. Marc met with our Pastors the following day. The pastors were feverishly taking notes and appreciated what he had to say as well. Several pastors commented that they are taking the message back to their congregations to preach about abortion from the pulpit and what we as a community should be doing to stand for life. All of us are in agreement that Marc needs to come back next year. “
Paul Marshall
The results were unbelievable! Our center normally averages $75,000 in cash and pledges at our banquet. Last year the outpouring of support was so great that we brought in $153,000! Not only did Marc move our donors to action, he spoke separately to a group of local pastors, some of whom had not heard of our ministry prior, and three of them are now on board as supporting churches. I strongly recommend him as your next banquet speaker!
