"Securing Mike to speak and lead worship at our men's retreat was truly a remarkable experience.  He is a dynamic speaker who captivated the men's full attention with his passionate teaching of God's word, relevant and powerful illustrations, and reverent worship.  Mike also successfully assimilated himself into the group and developed relationships amongst the men, a testament to his sentimental authenticity.  His gifts are a perfect blend for ministry events and if you are fortunate to schedule Simplicity Ministries for your occasion, take comfort knowing that Mike will bless you beyond all expectations."

One great shortage we have here in the Northwest is quality speakers and worship leaders that communicate the Gospel effectively to teens and college students.  [Mike and Debbie] will be a great asset to Northwest churches and youth and collegiate groups who are desiring to evangelize and disciple this new generation.  They both have servants' hearts and a genuine love for the Lord and young people. If you’re also looking for a strong worship team that are both gifted and committed, consider Mike and Debbie."
- Danny Kuykendall, Youth Ministry Strategist, Northwest Baptist Convention

"Mike has a heart for ministry, a contagious love for God, and a tremendous gift for communication that will be an asset to any church.  I wholeheartedly recommend him to you."
-- Gary Nicholson, Mike's former youth minister and now a consultant with Lifeway Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention

"I would like to introduce to you Mike Thibodeaux of Simplicity Ministries.  For two years I had the privilege of serving with Mike as his pastor and friend.  Mike has proven to be a man of integrity with a strong biblical foundation.

Let me share with you a few of Mike's strong points.  First and foremost he spends quality time in God's Word.  Before any speaking engagement I promise you Mike has already poured over the Scriptures to ensure what he says is a word from God which will be applicable to the lives of those who will hear.  Along with his time in the Word, Mike is a man of prayer.  Prayer is a natural part of Mike's life.  In preparation for every ministry opportunity Mike will be "prayed up" and ready "in season and out of season." 

Mike has been gifted by God to speak a prophetic word to a generation without any ethical or spiritual moorings.  This gift enables him to proclaim biblical truth to the next generation in ways in which they will understand and respond to the gospel.  Mike's greatest desire is to be a tool in the hands of The Master Craftsman and used to call a lost generation back to Christ.

Without reservation I recommend Mike Thibodeaux to you as one who lives out what he teaches and preaches.  His ministry will support and undergird the ministry of the local church."
--Ward Hudson, Assistant Principal, Cleburne High School, Cleburne, Tx

"Mike has a unique gift of being able to relate to a variety of people and aid them in catching a passion for the Lord. I highly recommend him."
- Rick Hope, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Lillian, TX
