“Cooper impresses me with his natural ease in sharing faith through song, testimony and sheer presence. Genuine, authentic, keen on connecting with his listeners, he has a style I find refreshing. He can engage teens and has “meat” in his presentations. I have enjoyed working with him at conferences and found him to be very effective with those groups.”
“Our diocese has truly benefited from Cooper’s ministry. Both teens and adults alike have found a connection with his music, his stories, his interaction with them from the stage, and his ability to lead them in prayer. As the person planning the event I have greatly appreciated his desire to work with our vision for the event and to become more than simply our ‘guest speaker’. We look forward to having him back soon!”
“Cooper does a fantastic job of connecting to young people through song, personal testimony and scripture. Our young people thoroughly enjoyed him at our diocesan high school youth conference where he did keynote, workshops and made himself available to youth and adults. He is a wonderful witness to young people as his energy and gifts are obviously powered by prayer and the Holy Spirit. We enjoyed him so much that we are bringing him back!”
“Cooper’s spirituality and faith were an inspiration and encouragement! His humility and experience made it easy to work with him and adapt programming for different needs as they arose. He was dynamic and passionate about the faith, invested in establishing the kids “buy in” and willing to offer advice for not just the week at hand but for the program overall going forward.”
