"Recently I've had the opportunity to speak at several events and minister alongside Eric. It was unbelievable! His paintings were creative and powerful, his energy was contagious and his servant-attitude a blessing. Because so many students are visual learners, Eric's paintings were the highlights of each event. A great communicator. I couldn't recommend him more highly."
--Kurt Johnston , Student Ministries Saddleback Church"Eric is the MAN."
--Reggie Dabbs , National Speaker Reggie Dabbs Online"Eric Samuel Timm has the God given ability to give your church or conference some unforgettable moments. Creative, talented, expressive and unforgettable. Those words would describe how Eric ministered to over 30,000 of our people in one weekend. I guarantee you that his unique talents will touch your people in a memorable way."
--Pastor Dave Stone South East Christian"We had Eric come and share with our students at REFUGE, our Wednesday night student worship. His painting was incredible and that was no surprise seeing his art all over the country... The kicker was when he began to speak! He had them at hello and they were locked with him the entire time he spoke. One of the best communicators I have seen. He showed Jesus to my students and I would have him back in a heartbeat."
--Mark Hall , Casting Crowns Casting Crowns.com"We'd seen Eric's artwork several times over the last few years and had gained an immense appreciation for it, but his delivery of the message + art was a new one! Eric is original and dynamic period. This new "art form" is a brand-new style of communication, one that definitely reaches all age groups and touched our hearts. Whether you're drawn to art or the spoken word - you're in for a treat. He'll challenge and inspire every aspect of your walk. "
--Justin Lookadoo , National Speaker Justin Lookadoo.com"I've had the chance to partner with Eric this year numerous times and see his gifts "in action". Not only is this guy an extraordinary communicator and artist whose messages really drew students... but I was impressed with what I saw "behind the scenes." I watched him care about students individually ... not just in the huge crowd. I would without any doubt definitely recommend him to you!"
--Scott Rubin , Student Ministries Willow Creek Church"I met Eric almost three years ago, and from that day I have never looked at art the same. He uses both art and speaking in a way I have never seen or heard! Eric goes far beyond anything cookie cutter and creates at a level few today are doing. Eric inspires me and motivates me to think outside the box in my own ministry and life! If you are looking for just a painting or a another talking head then call one of the Bob Ross guys of yesterday. If you want a message that jumps of the canvas and become real life, then book Eric Samuel Timm."
--Jared Hall , Illusionist Jared Hall.com"Eric Samuel Timm made our event. The truth & creativity he brought to our winter weekend still has our students talking, and changed. Eric can take your next event, camp, retreat, or gathering to another creative level. Use Eric... God Does! Jason Curry"
--Jason Curry , Student Pastor The Church At Rock Creek"I had the privilege of being at the Halloween service when Eric Samuel Timm spoke.

--Steve Carter , Student Ministries Mars Hill Church"I am always excited to work with Eric. He has a knack for taking the message that you are trying to communicate to a student and making it happen on stage.

He his extremely creative, a incredible speaker and a consummate professional whose first love is sharing the earth shattering relationship that God wants with all of us."

It was a blessing to have worship enhanced in a such a creative way."

We highly recommend Eric and No One Underground to anyone looking for a new, non-traditional way to reach people with the Gospel of Christ. Eric's ministry was a great addition to Liberty University. We look forward to what Eric has in store for 2009,10,11 and beyond."
--Michael Stewart , Director Winterfest Winterfest"I used to believe that worship could only be done through singing and music but for some time now I have come to realize that worshiping is an art. Like art, I believe that it can be embodied into many different forms like painting, photography, writing, and most importantly: living."
--Student , 1 MI"Those in attendance really connected with Eric and I know their experience at our festival was made more memorable because they were part of something that was created there. I would highly recommend Eric's ministry and his art. Both are high quality, very meaningful, and is about more than paint and canvas. Further, I can highly recommend Eric as a facilitator for a retreat or a performance artist to help bring a full experience to your concert or event. He is well received by students and adults alike, a world class communicator and did a great job for us- we'll use him again!"
--Dave Decker , Souled Out Stage Coordinator Life Light Festival"Eric Samuel Timm spoke at our SpringHill Senior High Retreat this past August. Over 400 kids, adults, and staff were captivated by Eric's straight forward approach complimented by his use of art to deliver the Gospel message.

You can be sure that SpringHill Camps will continue to partner with NOU as we strive to share the Gospel with teens."

I am impressed with his commitment, zeal and talent for sharing the Good News! I highly recommend NOU to you."
--Rev. Dr. Harry Thomas , Co-Founder, Director Creation Festivals Creation Festivals"Eric did incredible! Connected with students really quickly, was funny, had great content and even painted!

-- Rev. Jeremy Chapmin , Student Ministries Cedar Valley Church"Hey man, thanks for your role this weekend in bringing my students closer to Christ. I know you're just an instrument in HIS hands as well, but my students responded well to your challenge. Especially Saturday, it really was the best small group we've ever had. Seriously. Ever. My group has never allowed themselves to be vulnerable, transparent, or really brutally honest with each other before, but through the moving of His spirit, they were on Saturday. So again, thanks for being a servant of Christ- your ministry helped advance the Kingdom. "
--Phil Harbison , 1 CRC"From the planning and preparation I could trust Eric's heart for God. He communicated truth in such a way our students had never seen before. From the spoken message to the painted one our attention was captivated. Darkness lost ground that day."
--Pastor Chad Myers , Mosaic Mosaic"It was a pleasure to share the stage with Eric. All who where worshiping including myself saw another way to experience worship."
--Charlie Hall , Recording Artist Charlie Hall.com"We had Eric speak at our grand opening of our new youth facility and he knocked it out of the park. He had the students attention the whole time and they were asking when he could come back. Eric is a phenomenal communicator, you won't be disappointed."

--Josh Jones , Pastor August Gate Church August GAte Church St. Louis"The ministry Eric brings is relevant for today. Eric knows how to speak into the hearts of both young and old through his message and art.

One of our best attendances to date was when Eric and Danielle came and ministered at our church."

Eric's gifts are so dynamic and anointed that you will forget he is a world class painter as well."
--Johny Scott , Director Believe Christ In Youth"Eric Samuel Timm was a refreshing blessing to our congregation.

--Bishop Jason Bolin , Executive Pastor Trinity Chapel Powder Springs GA"Eric is breaking ground and blazing a trail in an area the Church desperately needs. His theology of worship is spot-on and NOU WILL continue to engage a generation for Christ through visual and spoken art.

Our God is the most creative artist and I believe Eric and Danielle will make art and poetry a generation’s new worship. Thanks for making this our best conference yet!"
--CJ Nission , District Youth Coordinator E-Free Church of America"I've always been a fan of Eric's art, for me they are visual parables that communicate stories more deeply than words could. I fit really refreshed when I see Eric's art. Finally art that finds that balance between creativity without compromising on truth."
--Jeremy Limpic , One Truth Clothing"We absolutely think he rocked! He had 400 students and parents! attention the entire time. He was extremely funny, which we were not expecting!

We are looking forward to having him back one day."
-- Georgia Sexton , Youth Director Eagles Landing Chruch"I am writing this letter of endorsement for Speaker and Artist – Eric Samuel Timm. We recently had Eric at our Youth Conference (3,000 attendees) for 70 E-Free Churches in Wisconsin and he connected during our four rallies with all different students. We used his talent of creating art with a spiritual message to connect with the crowd. Many students were very moved by the work that he did. He also did seminars that were very helpful to reach students with a special gift mix. We would highly recommend Eric’s ministry to anyone. He is great to work with and is VERY talented with his speaking and art."
-- Rob Weise , FLD Director of Student Ministries"In a world where culture sneaks in and confuses Truth and reality, Eric Samuel Timm, boldly brings Truth to culture, in a tangible and experiential way where people are drawn in and empowered to evaluate themselves and their relationship with Christ. What I appreciate most about Eric Samuel Timm is his eagerness to find out the direction we have been led to take the event and craft teachings and paintings that fuse our themes and present students and leaders with a unified experience that helps create long lasting impact. Eric has an uncanny ability to take a room full of strangers and through his interactions and teachings unify them into a community of people desiring to grow in and deepen their relationship with Christ."
--Murphy Felton , Creative Director Spring Hill Camps"Eric is an artist, a painter, a speaker and he simply said, "These kids that are hurting, many of them have an artist's heart; they see the world in a different way." I don't think I'd ever thought of it that way, but that really stayed with me, thanks Eric."
--Jamie Tworkowski , Founder TWLOHA"I don't have the words to describe just how amazing the weekend with Eric was. Eric touched the heart of everyone at our Youth Event Saturday. Sunday morning Eric and Danielle shared again. That service was just as powerful as the night before. It was great to see how he went from speaking at a youth outreach event to speaking to a generally conservative church crowd and how he came across as relevant and credible in both places! I was glad to have Eric Samuel Timm of No One Underground at our event and I can't wait to have NOU back."
--Rev. James A. Sauceda , Youth Pastor Veritas Youth Ministries"Eric spent a lot of time afterward hanging out with my students, talking with them, giving them autographs, answering their questions & ministering to their hearts. And this is one of the things that I love most about Eric & Danielle: Their Heart For Ministry. I highly recommend that you contact Eric Samuel Timm and find out how your church might be able to partner with No One Underground to bring in that great harvest in your community! Bring him your church!"
--Nate Powell , Youth Director Logan Christian Church"Eric was phenomenal! It was very moving, the adults and the kids responded well to him… he was easy to work with and we really enjoyed having him as a part of our event."
