Event Reviews
"We absolutely loved having Tom Bowen as our speaker for God & Country Day on July 2. He did a fabulous job and was very well received!! Had us all in tears. We could have listened to him go on much longer. Your recommendation was perfect! Thank you so much!"

“The first time Tom Bowen spoke at Gardner-Webb University, the lives of our students were moved by hearing first-hand from a true American hero who had served on the search and recovery teams at the World Trade Center following the 9/11 attacks. When Tom returned a few years later, his message was even more inspiring as he was able to beautifully illustrate how the lessons God taught him through that national crisis prepared him to live out his faith in the personal crisis of losing his two-year-old son, Ben, to brain cancer. One student wrote, ‘Tom Bowen had such a powerful and inspirational story, and we were all moved by it. I honestly wish we could have had another hour to listen to the rest of his story.’ Typically, students quickly exit chapel on their way to the next class. After Tom spoke, I witnessed something I had never seen before. A multitude of students quietly stood in line to show their respect and appreciation to Tom by shaking his hand, giving a hug or simply saying “thank you.” I realized that it wasn’t just the message, but the man delivering the message that had connected so well with our students.”
