“When it comes to speaking to students, Jay gets it. From the front, he engages the students with stories and Scripture. If that was all he did, it would be great. But, it’s all of his “off stage” relating that sets Jay apart from other speakers. With this guy, you get someone who genuinely cares about people and who honorably and passionately communicates God’s Word.” – Derek Hodne, Program Director, Camp Orchard Hill


“We had a fantastic week of a camp this summer with Jay. His passion to direct our young people to the feet of Jesus and challenge them with the truths of scripture made a huge impact in their lives. Jay didn’t just minister during our worship services…he was visible and involved in activities with the campers throughout the day.” Steve Clark, Executive Director, Delta Lake Bible Conference

 

“Jay does a wonderful job speaking to teens, middle schoolers and families. He enthusiastically engages with his audience both on and off the stage. While serving as a camp pastor he is very intentional about interacting with the campers all day long so by the end of the week they just don’t see a camp pastor on the stage but a friend.”  – Mike Judd, Program Director, Beaver Camp


“I have had the opportunity to host Jay at Spruce Lake Retreat twice this year. Each time, Jay has done a fantastic job of reaching the students! He does not speak at them, he speaks with them, having a conversation with them—not just during his time during sessions, but throughout his time at the retreat or the camp week. It is a joy to see Jay take the time to engage with the campers, to let them know that he is interested in what is going on in their lives, to invest in them. He works at building those relationships that the teens of today so deeply need. As a youth leader and camp director, I value that quality. Jay is real with the students, and they see that.” – Stacie Farris, Youth Ministries Director, Spruce Lake


“I couldn’t say better things about Jay and Infuzion®. It’s abundantly clear that he is passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as those whom God has entrusted him to care for. Jay is extremely relational as well as abundantly willing and able to be a listening ear or to provide wise counsel to students and staff alike. Jay and Infuzion will continue to be a top pick for me as I look for retreat speakers in the future.” – KJ Ozolins, Program Director, Camp Montrose


“Jay’s journey with us at Hudson Valley Bridge Builders was such a blessing. He engaged with our youth extremely well. His speaking helped our campers find and/or expand their faith in the Lord. It was awesome to have him help lead our campers and goof off a bit with them.” – Tyler Carroll, Director of Hudson Valley Bridge Builders


“Camp Hebron has been blessed to partner with Jay from the Infuzion team for numerous retreats.  We appreciate how intentionally Jay works at understanding our organization, goals for our events, and his personal attention to pursuing the Lord.  Students of an array of ages connect with his messages because the topics are relevant and blessed through prayer & study of the Word.  Thanks Infuzion for being sincere, truth-proclaiming and fun!” – Kendra Martin, Program Director, Camp Hebron
