I have had the privilege of discipling Al Foxx for the past 4 years. When he first came to me he wanted me to endorse him as a Christian speaker. I told him no! I told him rather than giving a message he had to become the message. If he was interested in becoming the message I was willing to help him. He was and he did. He has grown tremendously in his own personal holiness and obedience.
Al has a great appreciation for what it means to represent the Lord when you stand before a group of people and he has honed his life message to zero in on peoples needs. Al is amazingly funny and uses that humor to full advantage in his messages. We had him speak in our church over Labor Day weekend and people are still talking about it and downloading his message. He communicated a tremendous message of hope.
If you are looking for someone who can validate the life changing power of Jesus and the difference it can make in someone's life - Al is a great option! If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at 425-488-5494 or stevenm@nview.org.

Al delivered a very powerful and inspirational presentation intertwining his miraculous recovery with his strong faith and trust in God. Our group was moved by Al's aspiration and determination to regain as much of his abilities as he possibily could, believing that God was there to support him. His sprinkle of humor nicely lightened an otherwise serious subject.
We highly recommend him for any Christian group. He is a walking testimony for God's faithful gifts, if one believes in Him.

To Whom It May Concern
My name is Jake Richardson and I am the Associate Minister at Evergreen Christian Church in Everett, Washington. I am writing in regards to a request from Al Foxx for a letter of recommendation. When Al asked me to do this, I was excited to show my appreciation to him in this way.
Let me briefly share with you how Al and I met. Al "happened" to stopped by the church to ask directions one day last summer. As I began to talk to Al, he began to brighten my day through his encouraging words and his great attitude about life. As Al shared with me, I couldn’t help but think that here is a guy who could blame God for his condition. He could be angry and deeply burdened. But through Al’s faith in God, he has turned his stumbling block into the foundation of who he is today.
As Al and I finished talking that summer day, I remember telling Al that I believe that he didn’t "happen" to pick this church to ask directions. It was God’s plan. You see, I was having a bad day and my ministry was going through rough times. Al stopped by and encouraged me and gave me hope. Instead of me ministering to him, he ministered to me.
Recently, Al spoke with our Jr. and Sr. High youth and their parents. He did a fantastic job. The youth and their parents loved him. One of the kids was overheard afterwards saying "Al would be a cool guy to hang with!" Al blends his humor with his life story to make him a very likable, entertaining and edifying speaker.
I would recommend Al Foxx to come and speak to any group in your church that needs encouragement through heartfelt laughter. Invite Al to come and share with you how to be a winner and why "WINNERS DON’T QUIT!"

To whom it may concern,
I have been asked to write a letter of recommendation for my friend Al Foxx. Al has an incredible knack of using his humor to get a point across to his audiences. It is a real kick to watch audiences look at this brain damaged guy up on stage and see them wondering why they are there listening to him and, in the next few minutes, see them rolling in the isles with laughter. I have seen him communicate to kids, teens and adults and each group has reacted in a very positive way to his humor and his message. I have personally worked with Al over the last two years.
My challenge to him has been to be the message, not give a message. Al has proved to be very teachable in this area and as a result his ability to impact audiences for the Lord has deepened and improved. I believe he has only begun to scratch the potential he is capable of if he continues to submit and follow his Lord. This spring he spoke at our conferences youth rally held here at our church and did a great job. If you have any more questions please feel free to call me at 425.821.5252 or e-mail me at Stevem@nsb.org.
In His Joy,

On behalf of Northshore Baptist Church, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the time you gave us, to perform in front of the men at our October retreat. I understand that doing a comedy routine can be a challenge for anybody, but your ability to bring laughter to the men is a gift! You had them rolling in the aisle, as they escaped their everyday stresses and reveled in the opportunity you gave them to do so. At the same time, we came away with a clearer understanding of what a handicapped person goes thru on a daily basis. The recovery from your motorcycle accident is a spiritual encouragement and blessing that needs to be heard. Thanks again for sharing with us both your gift of comedy, and your heart for Christ.
May God continue to bless you!
Sincerely,
Rick Trocano
Director of Men's Ministry
