"Our Junior High Spectacular crowd of 300+ came expecting a speaker. Instead, they got spooned - and loved every minute of it! The talent Jim Cruise has for playing the spoons cracked through even the most diehard 'make me enjoy this' wall some junior highers are known to put up. Once in, he delighted them with his humor, entertained them with his high-energy antics, and creatively involved them in the fun. Most importantly, he wove a message throughout the presentations of God's love, their uniqueness and giftedness, and the call to live the faith every day. Jim is not only a gifted and seasoned performer, he's a man of spirit and faith that really connected with our kids (not to mention all the adults present in the crowd). Among the many lessons of the day - Jim helped our kids realize that it doesn't matter how strange or unusual your gift or talent may be - it can make a difference in people's lives and bring glory to God. We'll definitely have Spoonman back!"
