“I have commented in the past, but I must comment again. Ken and Barbara Sibley continue to be at the top of my “Impressed Me” list. Bro. Ken begins his presentations by making a point of telling that he does not “do” magic, that his illusions are “tricks” anyone could do if they knew how and practiced a lot. He then begins to present the gospel simply by word and with his illusions. Sis. Barbara adds her talents to the mix and when you put their talents together the result is a blessing to all who see and hears them and many young people after hearing the plan of salvation, respond by trusting the Lord. They were our guest this year at Southwest Baptist camp. We want them back when their schedule will allow it.”

“God blessed Loveland Baptist Church this past week through the ministry of Ken and Barbara Sibley (Gospel illusionist and ventriloquist). We were blessed to see 5 professions of faith (a 10 year old, three 11 year olds and a 50 year old). What a blessing the Sibley’s were to our congregation and ministry. I join others who recommended them and their ministry outreach as a real blessing to the Lord’s churches. In addition to our blessings, the Sibley’s were with the Greeley Missionary Baptist Church, Greeley, Colorado, and a young man was saved there. Brother David Mundy, Missionary in Brighton, Colorado, called me Sunday evening to say they also had 3 professions of faith in their services following the Sibley’s presentation. To God be the glory.”

“Last Sunday we had Bro. Ken Sibley and his wife Barbara with us for the morning service. They were also with the Asian Mission in the afternoon. Bro. Sibley is a Missionary Baptist preacher who uses illusions. His wife is a skilled ventriloquist and singer. They did an excellent job of presenting the gospel to our adults and jr. groups combined. Their presentation was true to the Bible. The crowning of the day was the salvation of two of our young people following the service. We recommend Bro. & Sis. Sibley. They are a fine Christian couple, easy to be with, who love the Lord.”

“I was babysitting for Gracie, who is four, and we were at the church and she looked at the poster of the ABA missionaries on the wall. I got to Ken’s photo and said, “This is Mr. Sibley.” She immediately told me that she knew Mr. Sibley and started telling me all about the program you had done at the mission in great detail. Obviously your message is effective as proven by what a four year old can remember.”

“I agree with your kind of evangelism. You avoid the ‘do you want to go to heaven then pray this prayer’ approach. The Lord bless your ministry.”

“I wanted to inform you that we had two more teens saved today at our weekly youth meeting. This makes eight salvations so far this month. We also had another young lady join us, making our total number of attendees 21 seventh and eighth graders. I have no doubt there will be more coming and more saved. Thanks for being with us last week and sharing your program. Our ladies really enjoyed it as well. God bless you in your work for Him.”

“We just had Bro. Ken Sibley and his wife, Barbara, for a One-Day VBS. Due to Katrina, we lost VBS teachers, so we invited the Sibleys to come and do the teaching. Bro. Sibley did a professional job!!! He teaches and preaches using object lessons (illusions) to illustrate spiritual truths and principles in the Bible. All ages were captivated by his presentation. Sister Barbara is a good singer and does a good job with her ventriloquism. The children loved it! I should say, everyone loved it. Those in their 80’s were thrilled with the methods used. We recommend them to you. They will come to your church for a love offering; our people responded generously, even above my expectation.”

“I wanted to thank you again for calling and stopping for our AWANA club last Wednesday. You were a blessing to us all, especially the kids. I wanted to let you know that Cameron, the little boy that was saved Wednesday night, walked the aisle this morning and made his public profession of faith. He is supposed to be baptized tonight.”

“I don’t know if you remember me but you came to our church in Arkansas. I really liked your show and am very happy you were there because I got saved that night. Thank you for coming to our church. I hope some day you can come back! I will probably remember you the rest of my life.”

“Many of the young people we reach in our AWANA outreach are unchurched. The ventriloquism and object lessons used by Ken and Barbara Sibley to present the gospel captivated the attention of young people from five years old through high school. Our adults were very impressed with the quality of the illusions and ventriloquism. More importantly the gospel was presented using Scripture in a way that was easy to understand. After the presentation the Lord blessed with 17 solid professions of faith. We have already started baptizing some of these and have gotten into several families’ homes to further share the gospel.”

“The ministry of the Sibley’s is really incredible. When they came and presented it here in Kalispell it was very well received. The gospel message was presented clearly in an easy to grasp format. They would definitely be helpful to your VBS, camp, or other outreach activities. Please invite them to your work and pray for them as they step out in faith to serve God in a very “outside of the box” kind of way.”

“I am not easily impressed by illusionists, but I must say that the presentation of the gospel through illusions made by Ken and Barbara was one of the best I have ever seen. We believe in their ministry so much that we have added them to our monthly mission budget. We will definitely have them back again.”

“It was a pleasure meeting you at Camp Glenwood. You have a wonderful ministry for reaching souls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God bless you!”

“On behalf of the members of the South Gate Church, I would like to thank you for being such a huge part of our VBS closing. We were very blessed by your presentations and the children really were entertained and I also believe really got something out of it.”

“Our church thanks you so much for your ministry, and the investment you made in our community. We may never know the impact of the short time we spent together. Since you came one little boy has pursued salvation. Your ministry has given great support to, and a tangible reinforcement of, the Gospel message. Thank you for your friendship and help in the Lord’s work.”

“Praise God for this great God sent ministry. Thanks for helping us minister to over 350 people over the weekend in our “Ministry in the Park”. The Sunday morning presentation was also awesome.”

“This weekend in the Bay Area Park of Clear Lake, Texas with Ken and Barbara was such a blessing — to see God’s Word presented in such a new and exciting way. The adults as well as the children enjoyed all of the numerous ways God’s Word was taught. We all love Zeek too. God bless you as you both continue in the Lord’s work.”

“Bro. Joseph and I were out visiting a prospective family this past Monday. During the visit the 11 year old boy showed us a trick with a paper airplane with the cross and the letters H-e-l-l. I asked him if he got that from you and your wife and he said yes. He was saved but has since shared this with many of his family and friends. A reminder that despite the devil’s efforts God still receives the glory!”
