"...yeah out of the 8 or 10 retreats I have been to this one really has been the best, your talks really seemed to fit right into my life and all the late nights just strengthened my relationship with God 10 times more then before camp-thanks! To be honest you are the coolest speaker I have ever had. I like the stories you tell and the examples you give help so much"

What folks are saying about Bigtime Ministries and Zach Skipper:
“Skip, is incredibly gifted in ministering to students. It is unbelievably encouraging and refreshing to be a part of the retreats that he speaks at and organizes because every event and every talk you make is Christ centered. On Sunday I ran into a seventh grade guy that I was fortunate enough to have in my small group at the event in October. I saw him at my church, which he isn't a member of, and I asked him what he was doing and he responded, "I'm just looking for a church right now where I feel like God wants me to be." I was blown away with the maturity in this comment... from a seventh grader! Frequent conversations similar to this one with those who have been involved on some of Bigtime's retreats are awesome indicators of how God is using Zach Skipper and this ministry to establish strong foundations in Christ. I’m excited to see him continue to passionately and humbly deliver the gospel! He is doing an incredible job and has impacted A LOT of students in this community.”

“I have been blessed to minister alongside Zach week in and week out at our church. His enthusiasm is contagious. He has a deep concern for going after God with all of his heart in his own walk, and he does a great job of encouraging others in their journey with Christ. As a worship leader,it is a joy to use music to help others focus on God, knowing that Zach will soon deliver a thought-provoking and challenging message of faith, hope, and love. I truly cannot say enough good things about Zach. I hope I have the opportunity to minister with him for years to come!”

"Zach Skipper energizes kids to follow Christ as a speaker, mentor, and friend like few people I have ever seen. Kids from my youth group literally came out of a retreat where he spoke several times with an immediate motivation to follow Jesus like I had not seen in my tenure. He's an incredibly gifted speaker who has a fire for Jesus and hearts, and his enthusiasm strongly influences those around him."
