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!

We had Dr. Marc Newman as our speaker at Care Net Pregnancy Center (in Houston) for the third time last October. Marc is our favorite banquet speaker. Our guests/donors love him! We always receive rave reviews, and the donations from the event reflect that enthusiasm. 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 believe our guests leave feeling connected and excited about supporting our pregnancy center. His talks are always fresh, never have that “old, I’ve given this speech dozens of times” sound. One of the things I like best is that Marc takes the time to get to know our center, and he skillfully weaves in specific information to personalize his talk to our center.
I highly recommend Dr. Newman; I think he is the BEST pregnancy center banquet speaker available. He is also a friend and co-laborer in the cause for LIFE. And yes, we do plan on inviting him back for a fourth time soon!

Thank you again for delivering your role so professionally and powerfully at our banquet. 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. Also, the men felt God’s call when you invited them to lead. Thank you! Our net receipts were 41% higher than last year just in that night and we picked up 42 new monthly partners. However, a guest from the banquet just brought us another $5K check (one of several that night), so God is still moving. You so professionally wove our info into your presentation that one person told me they thought you were a member of our team. That’s awesome. I greatly appreciate that you had such integrity to ask questions and understand our info accurately. I am truly very grateful for how you will leave an impact for lives saved here.

Our guests loved Marc Newman. We haven’t had any negative feedback which is rare; there is always someone who doesn’t like a speaker for one reason or another. 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.

Dr. Newman gave a superb speech and had the audience’s attention the whole time. He is very articulate and his presentation was excellent. Dr. Newman’s ‘ASK’ was excellent. The ASK was double what we have received in past years, at this type of event.

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! Marc has the unique ability of being able to mix an appropriate amount of humor with a serious, powerful message. 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 can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Marc Newman. The gift he brings as a professional speaker is only surpassed by his love for Jesus. I strongly recommend him as your next banquet speaker!

Based on the history of this organization’s relationship with Dr. Marc Newman, I would strongly recommend him to other organizations in search of an inspirational speaker. In fact, we asked Dr. Newman to return as guest speaker at our banquet for a third time due to popular demand among our attendees. I am pleased to report that his third speaking engagement has resulted in the largest attendance and offering in the history of our fundraising banquets to date.

Our Board met Monday. They discussed the differences in the various presentations and speakers we have had over the years. They all agreed that your presentation was “one of the best, if not THE best presentation” we have ever had. We grossed over $276 per person. Since the banquet, I have had multiple people tell me that we should make a point of getting a copy of the banquet DVD into the hands of every pastor in the County. The board president even asked if we could have Marc come back next year. I told him I was already on it. So please change the pencil to ink for our 2013 banquet.

We have hosted Dr. Marc Newman twice at our banquet. Dr. Newman’s passion surrounding the injustice of abortion is obviously portrayed through his presentations. We have heard nothing but praise from our supporters for him. Our monthly support and one time donations increased greatly at our last banquet. People were challenged to move out of their comfort zones and get involved in the fight for the unborn.

We were blessed to have a speaker with your background and experience to address our donors. The banquet was a huge success, so far raising over $156,000 in sponsorships, pledges, and offerings. Additionally, the donations received at the banquet also generated over $25,000 in matching funds from a local corporation. The ultrasound and the Memorial Garden for the Unborn have been completely underwritten!

The results of the banquet far exceeded all that we had expected in every way. Financially, we tripled anything that we had ever done in the past, additionally many of our material needs were met that evening, and we had an out-pouring of women that signed up to participate in the Volunteer Training Classes to be trained to be peer counselors. We had an overwhelming response to Dr. Newman and many requested that we have him back. I am delighted to be able to say that we have already booked Dr. Newman to return as our speaker for our next year’s banquet. I would highly recommend Dr. Marc Newman as your next pro-life speaker. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Newman is exceptional at connecting the audience with the importance of supporting the ongoing work of the organization. We doubled our pledges and exceeded our financial expectations. Dr. Newman makes himself available and accessible throughout and after the event. I liked that I felt he cared about us and our success. Dr. Newman has the unique ability to clearly communicate and connect the audience of your even with the heart of your organization, the care and professionalism of meeting your client’s needs and the undeniable impact your organization has in the community you serve. How does he do that? He invests a tremendous amount of time working with you, the director, discovering your ministries attributes, strengths,, organizational personality, and community impact. He assesses your needs, your dreams, and your vision for your ministry. In a word, Dr. Newman comes to serve you and your ministry, not to be served.

We were blessed to have Marc at our recent Community Awareness Fundraiser Banquet. While we certainly heard from the women attending, it was amazing the many, many comments from the men. Financially, Marc’s moving appeal netted us with the highest per person giving we have ever had in all our history. We also had more requests for volunteering at our center than at previous banquets. A particular outcome to share was an attending pastor at one of our area churches was so moved by Marc’s words that he confessed to his congregation that perhaps he had not been as forthcoming with God’s absolute truth in taking a stand from the pulpit on certain spiritual warfare issues, in particular on the subject of abortion. This same pastor followed up by doing a series of sermons specifically on issues such as God’s Plan for sexual behavior, including topics of marriage, sexual purity, and, of course, the sanctity of all human life, including the pre-born.

Dr. Marc Newman is one of the most articulate and inspirational speakers we’ve ever had. The Night of the Banquet was a great success. Dr. Newman’s speech was intelligent, funny and challenging. He incorporated the information he gained about our center into his speech, which was great because it was like he was part of our ministry team. His passion for our pro-life ministry inspired people to want to get involved with our center. We had over 30 new Volunteers sign up that night, and raised a lot of money for our center. I would highly recommend Dr. Newman for your next event.

When we invited Dr. Newman in early 2008, we had no idea we would be in the midst of an economic meltdown in our nation…but God knew. Marc was the right man for the right time with the right message – our banquet income exceeded our budget goals by more than $50,000, bringing in gross receipts of almost $350,000! His message about Heroes really resonated with our donors, and the majority of the attendees gave a one-time gift AND made a monthly pledge as well. He has a gift for communicating the message to his audience.

Dr. Newman has spoken at our banquet four times. Each time, our banquet raised more than the previous or following year! Marc does the best ‘ask’ I have seen. Because he is dedicated to our Lord, is committed to the sanctity of human life, and has helped raise more money for our center than any other speaker, I look forward to having him a fifth time.

Dr. Marc Newman was the speaker at our February 18, 2010 Gala titled Rescue, Defend, and Deliver. We received pledged donations of $108,000 on the night of the banquet with carpet cleaning, refinishing of floors, painting, and monthly yard service soon thereafter. Our previous gala had an $83,011 pledge on the night of the banquet with no gifts in kind. Even with the downturn in the economy, this was an almost $25,000 increase. Many people are still talking about the impact of Dr. Newman’s message. He is direct and does not mince words about the devastation caused by abortion, but his message was delivered with much humor and compassion.

Dr. Marc Newman speaks from the heart about the battle we are in for the lives of our unborn children. As a banquet speaker he is able address the issues of pro-life with authority and knowledge of what has been and what is to come, if we don’t take up our mantle and fight. His gift of humor and his ability to cast word pictures make his presentation easy to follow, as well as being able to stir us to be “doers of deeds.” I would gladly have him come again. Our banquet was a huge success under his direction.

We were so very glad that we had invited Dr. Newman. He spoke with such relevance to what we do as a crisis pregnancy center. He was very knowledgeable about abortion, as well as the day to day operations in a CPC. We raised more money with Marc as our guest speaker than we have done in previous years. He knew just how to explain a situation and turn it around to challenge the people on how they could get on board and help us here at Alpha. That resulted in more than we had hoped for in financial support as well as volunteers to help us both at the center and with other one-time jobs we needed done. He was definitely a key to the success of this year’s banquet.

Marc T. Newman was the speaker for our 5th annual fundraising banquet. It was our most successful event ever. We raised twice as much as the previous year. Marc’s presentation was powerful and effective, as was his financial appeal. He did an excellent job of bringing into his speech the specific needs of our center, which is a key element to motivating a response from your guests. The comments from guests afterward were unanimously enthusiastic. Marc was strong, but not offensive. His presentation addressed the pastors in a very appropriate manner. One woman said it would have been impossible to come away from the evening not being moved to give or to volunteer. The men really responded to him as well. Over 40 of our pledge cards indicated some kind of interest in volunteering and several were from men. This is the best volunteer response we have ever had.

Thank you for your excellent presentation at our fundraising banquet: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. You touched the hearts of everyone there by educating them on the abortion issue and challenging them to be part of the solution. We have gotten positive feedback from the guests as well as the volunteers and their families. We have heard various speakers at other banquets and, though some may be more known in the circuit, you are better informed of the work and commitment of crisis pregnancy centers. It is a benefit to have a heart for the ministry, as well as the ’cause’.
