Testimonials
...No Perfect People Allowed!!! That is what we called it and what a time we had. What was it? Trinity Assembly of God’s 2008 Fall Retreat in Gatlinburg with Kris Swiatoch. We had a great time of ministry and fellowship as we took 36 Single Adults to the Greystone Lodge in downtown Gatlinburg for a fun filled weekend.
My name is Pastor Tim McLauchlin and I just want to let everyone know what an awesome time we had as Kris ministered to us this past September 19th-21st. Kris used the movie The Perfect Gift to minister to us non perfect people and we saw chains loosed this weekend. People that were struggling with depression, fear of failure and no self-esteem walked away with a new lease on life and a closer walk with God. Friendships were built and lives were changed by the power of God and through his messenger.
I say thank you to Kris for using her gifts and talents to minister to Single Adults. And to you SAM Leaders I want to say, call and let Kris minister at your next retreat or conference, it will make an impact on your ministry.
Tim McLauchlin Trinity Assembly of God Cookeville, TN ...this godly woman comes in like a breath of fresh air to the singles' ministry... "Have you ever been to a conference where you found yourself dozing off, not amused by the jokes, and felt spiritually disconnected at the end? Well be prepared for the exact opposite from Kris! This godly woman comes in like a breath of fresh air to the singles' ministry. Through her testimony, her insights into the single's world, and her amazing sense of humor, she connects people of all different backgrounds. What a joy it was to have her at our state conference!"

...Kris is one of the most passionate, energetic and educated people I have ever met when it comes to Singles Ministry... "Her genuine care and concern for people, especially singles, comes through in her every action and word. Her light hearted sense of humor and her captivating communication style keeps every person in attendance on the edge of their seats hanging on to her every word. Although we are always very sad to see her leave we are always challenged to reach out, grow and evangelize all those that God brings our way! In one word...Dynamite!!!"
Leigh Sexton, Coordinator of Single Adult Ministries Celebration Church Blountville, TN
...Do you like high energy? Do you enjoy humor? Do you appreciate hard-hitting Biblical teaching?... Then you want Kris Swiatocho to speak at your singles gathering. Kris has spoken for the SALSA (Salt And Light Single Adults) track at Kingdom Bound Christian Music Festival in Western, NY for two summers has been a blessing to those who participated, teaching on singles and singles leadership issues.

...what a great weekend we had with Kris Swiatocho! Almost everyone who attended our conference had no idea who Kris was, but by the end of our conference not only did they know her, but had grown to love her. She has a way of connecting with people that very few people have. She didn't come to just speak, she came to develop a relationship with everyone that attended. Her humor and tranparency brought people in, and the Biblical truths she presented kept them there. It was truly a joy to have her come and speak to our group. Whether you are single or not, Kris has something for you. We had her stay over and speak in our worship service on Sunday morning. We have had many guest speakers fill our pulpit on Sunday mornings but very few have had the postive impact Kris had. She spoke to our congregation about how each person can minister to single adults and several had commented to me how God had called them to do more to reach those in our church and community.

...Kris was funny, down to earth, said it as it was and pulled no punches... Our singles conference was so successful. Her solid, Biblical teaching hit home with so many and what was going on in thier lives. Kris is a very dynamic speaker who keeps you rivited. She has a wonderful heart not only for singles but single leaders too. We will most definately bring her back for further conferences.

...Kris was funny, enthusiastic, and really applicable to our lives... I liked the fact that she addressed some of the modern dating "phenomenon's" like online dating, etc... I appreciated her perspective, and think that she would be good to have back for some leadership sessions with our ministries".
David Flosdorf, Singles Ministry Leadership Team The Chapel Akron, OH
...Kris Swiatocho was a breath of fresh air for our Single Adult event.... She engaged us with her first hello and held us captive with her humorous approach to a rather sensitive subject. Our group, of all ages, related to Kris with ease and our leadership found her to be a wealth of information for growing healthy Christian single adult groups. Kris will be returning to us in a few months by popular demand - what better recommendation could I give? "
Martha Fisher, Pastor of Single Adult LifeGroups Community Bible Church San Antonio, TX
...Kris Swiatocho is a dynamo!... "If you are looking for someone to energize your single adult leadership, focus your ministry, or move your membership, Kris is the person! We have had her at First Church several times. She has helped us overcome hurdles to the ministry with her time-, and ministry-, tested ideas. Her follow up after meetings is timely and helpful. Kris has maintained contact with our ministry throughout the year just to check on how the ministry is going. She lends a listening ear and contributes a learned comment, appropriate to the situation. I appreciate her servant leadership to the single adult ministry, both here at First Church and around the nation."
Rick Shonkwiler, Pastor of Adult Ministries First Church of Christ Burlington, KY
...I highly recommend Kris... "I have been in singles ministry for 18 years. As someone who is a conference speaker and who uses speakers for different events, I know that a speaker has to be able to communicate a message that people need and want to hear. They also have to do it in a way that is both entertaining and provides value to a person's life. Kris Swiatocho does both. I highly recommend Kris for seminars, training classes or just for an evening of fun."
Freddy Johnson, Small Groups Pastor Hope Church Tupelo, MS
...will pay dividends for years to come... "You will find that if you step out on faith and let Kris come in and direct, she will provide you things that will pay dividends for years to come."
Allen McClure, Singles Adult Pastor Temple Baptist Chuch New Bern, NC
...Kris knows the intricacies of singles ministry more than any other person I've met... "Not only is she attuned to the heart of the individual, but she knows how to groom a church's ministry into something far more effective and fruitful. I've watched her counsel groups and pray for individuals at many different events, and I'm always challenged by the way she places the needs of others as her first priority. She's a gifted counselor and a dear friend."
