Pam Scott: CyFair~"Melvin was outstanding! Certainly at the very top of our list as the best there is as a keynote speaker, Melvin made us think, he was entertaining, and he motivated us to care for all our kids. Melvin made our day extraordinary for the special volunteers and staff in Cy-Fair ISD."

DeEtte Sauer:
“We had such a great time with Melvin last Tuesday. He was terrific!!! Everyone fell in love with him.” Also I am wondering if Melvin could speak at our………….in January?”
“Melvin’s outrageous humor was infectious. The young people in our group were roaring with laughter. However, because Melvin captivated them with his stories, they were eager to hear his message which was timely and serious. He brings a unique style to ministry. There is NO one like him!!”
Scott Adams: FCA-Georgia
“Melvin’s greatest skills are being ready, excited, sincere and oh yeah…he’s really GOOD!
Hey friends, I recently had our 8th annual OW2P assemblies in local schools in Macon, GA. Our speaker this year was one of the best we've ever had, Melvin Adams of Houston. He's a former San Antonio Spurs player and Harlem Globetrotter. His message worked for both public and private schools... Christian and secular. This guy is impressive and his management team easy to work with. He would also be absolutely perfect for team basketball camp as a speaker AND clinician. If you want more info call me or check with his ministry team listed below. Please see attached Bio on Melvin. Or check him out at www.melvinadams.org

Kate:student in the school assembly:
“I just wanted to personally thank you for coming to speak at Club Day this morning. You drew a huge turnout and people are still talking about you three hours after your presentation. When you were speaking of the way you grew up, and when you were reciting the alphabet, you could hear a pin drop! Many of my friends struggle with alcohol and promiscuity, and I think that hearing today’s message challenged (and hopefully changed) them. So thank you. YOU ARE THE BEST EVER!!!”
Jason “Jay” Jones: student
“To this day, I don’t know what made me come to the gym that day because I was on my way home and I was just stopping by to watch Ollie play in the tournament, but that session we had with you really influenced me and my cousin Ollie’s outlook on life.”

I have had the privilege to work with Melvin Adams for the past four years.He is an incredible communicator that relates to students like no one else. If you are looking for a speaker that is relevant and will engage your students, you need to partner up with Melvin. He is by far the best school assembly speaker I have ever heard. He will certainly deliver!
Peggi Merkey~Manager for Melvin Adams:
Working with Melvin Adams is the best job in the world! Everywhere we go, people fall in love with him. He is a godly man, on and off the stage. Melvin has the utmost in integrity and humility and he has it whether he is on the big stage or in the home and just out and about in the community. We are blessed to have him in Houston! I am blessed and highly favored to have the opportunity to work for him.
Jason Smith: I had the privilege to spend a week with Melvin at a summer camp, and I have to tell you- he is like NO other speaker I have ever seen. Where most speakers go up, “throw up” the speech and “blow out”…. Melvin spent time with students & leaders at meals, activities, and even stayed in the dorms with the boys. He listened to students needs and concerns, and spoke truth into their lives! His heart and passion to reach students was just so evident, it brought my faith back in speakers being there for the students, not just a paycheck. Besides that- Melvin is a better speaker than any I have heard… and students to this day remember him, and the message from 4 years ago! The most important thing is that Melvin has his priorities straight. You will not regret bringing Melvin in to speak to your group!

Eric J. Anderson:  Melvin spoke at our Atascocita FCA Huddle last Thursday here in Houston/Humble, TX. He was GREAT! Everyone enjoyed listening to Melvin. He got the students involved in his message, while presenting the gospel in a fun and entertaining way. My daughter is apart of the FCA huddle and she said, "Melvin was the best speaker they had all year. He related the message of the gospel to us in a way that we could clearly understand it." Melvin was a blessing to the entire FCA group.

He tried to meet every FCA participant as they left the huddle mtg. The huddle group ranges from 150 to 200 participants. He left a lasting impression on the huddle group.

Tammie Marberry: Wow!   Melvin was absolutely fabulous.  He had our students engaged from the start.  His fast action, and sharp wit was amazing and kept the students 100% attentive throughout the session.  He seemed to have reached a very diverse group of students who could not wait to hear more as they visited with him after the presentation.  Normally assemblies followed by lunch are like a stampede to the barn, but our guys didn't hardly move.  I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get them out of the gym and to lunch.  Thanks so much for the suggestion for this presentation and making it happen.   I plan to get student feedback on Monday and will be glad to send more feedback as I get it.

Thanks again,

Tammie Marberry
