Dear Friend:
I have known Rick Gage for many years and I believe we do not have a more effective crusade evangelist in the Southern Baptist Convention today than Rick. His area-wide crusades have seen mighty moves of God everywhere he has gone.
Rick is a man of complete integrity, and a joy to work with. He has a heart for young people and is most cooperative.
I have seen him in action and know him to be a true man of God. I commend him to anyone, anywhere who wants to see God touch their area for Christ.
Exalting the Savior,
James Merritt

Dear Pastor,
I know it is your vision to provide your youth with the best possible summer camp experience. With this heartbeat in mind, I want to pass along to you what I discovered to be God's answer for this pastoral dream.
Eight years ago God led us to send our youth to an exciting and evangelistic camp called Go Tell. God took our youth that week and turned them into students of God's Word and sowers of the gospel seed. I soon learned, however, that not only were our youth equipped to spread the gospel, but our adults were electrified by this transformed youth group. Go Tell ignited our people with the fact that the gospel is something we are to go and tell and not just a truth we are to come and hear.
Rick Gage Ministries through their Go Tell camp allows your youth and counselors to learn each year from some of the finest teachers of God's Word and youth workers. Men such as Josh McDowell, Danny Lovett, Kenny St John, Paige Patterson and Rick Gage are just some the people God uses in this life-changing camp. Each year this week becomes an encounter with God for our youth and then the excitement transcends to the entire church.
After eight years of our youth attending this camp, several of our young men and women are now serving the Lord in full-time ministry and missions. Experiencing the joy of sending out God-called individuals into the ministry makes this camp extra special to me.
Because God uses the Go Tell camp in such a powerful way, I encourage you to prayerfully consider this fine summer camp experience for your youth. If your youth were to take in the Go Tell camp this year, I believe you will find this experience just what your youth and church needed. Like us here at CBC, it may become a yearly appointment with God.
Expecting Great Things from Him,
Henry B. Cannington, Jr.

On behalf of our faculty and students, I wish to thank you for the excellent presentation you gave at our school. Any one who can keep the attention of 625 seventh and eighth graders for thirty minutes has my respect and admiration.
Your message on problems relating to drug and alcohol use was well received and I feel will be a factor in helping our young people make the right decision in the future.
You are to be commended for using your speaking talents to bring this important message to the young people across the country. I hope you can maintain your energy and enthusiasm to continue in this important cause.

Dear Rick,
I want to thank you, on behalf of the administration and our students for having the desire and energy to do all the speaking you do at schools while you are engaged by a local church.
I feel that our students are being saturated with the common ideas and statistics about drugs and alcohol. You give a fresh approach to the subject. Your first hand knowledge and friendship with so many who have been casualties to drugs and alcohol certainly penetrates the most callous to the subject.
Of all the assemblies we have had, I believe you kept our students' attention the best. I hope your energy and enthusiasm will continue and that we will have the privilege of having you in our school again.
Thanks so much,
Paul McNeese
Assistant Principal
Director of Student Activities

To Whom It May Concern:
We recently had the opportunity for the staff and students at Myrtle Beach High to experience a presentation by Mr. Rick Gage. The entire program presented by Mr. Gage was high energy and realistic. Our students were most attentive and listened to the message that the speaker came to share. I talked with several of our students after the program and they were very complimentary about Mr. Gage and his program.
The message that Coach Gage shared was that concerning the importance of making good decisions in regards to the use of drugs and alcohol. He also shared several stories about misuse of drugs and alcohol and how it had affected the lives of so many students, coaches and players that he had been involved with.
As principal, I was very pleased with his program and would personally highly endorse it for high school students throughout our country. I am confident that only good things can occur for our students as a result of this experience. If I can supply you with additional information concerning the program or Mr. Gage, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Ed Curlee
