Ask the kids who attend FCA or Young Life meetings. Christian colleges and seminaries also have some excellent speakers to recommend. If you re looking for a speaker for a large group or a major event, you might consider going through a speaker s bureau. The staff there can help you match a speaker to your audience and budget. When you get leads, call and ask about their ministry.
Few communicators can be effective with all age groups.
I am best with older high school and college groups, but I will accept middle school opportunities if I feel led. I suggest that you request audio or videotapes to help you choose a speaker. Ask your spouse and associates to pray with you about the decision. Make certain that your communicator is suited for your situation. Ask for references and a biographical sketch.
