"We were delighted to see you again and hear firsthand of the new and challenging goals you have set for yourself and for Olive Tree Foundation.  Over the years you and your influence have had a powerful and positive impact on others as well as their career and family. Your comments, insight, and experience in the Holy Land make history and the Bible come alive."

"Your address to the recent AIPAC Conference was an inspiration, as was the Monday session in which you took part.  Thank you, thank you for your support of Israel and for your new-found mission of the Olive Tree Foundation!

Your words and vision inspired me to - as you said - do my part.  This past weekend I was scheduled to give the sermon in my synagogue.  Woven into my message... I spoke about my experience at AIAPC - and part of that sermon included your message.  Afterwards, members came up and shared how they were inspired by my experience at AIPAC and the lessons I gleaned from it - and indicated an interest in coming to AIPAC with my husband and me next year.....May your work and your message continue to bring an ongoing butterfly-effect of blessing upon America and Israel."

"In just 12 minutes, evangelical Christian minister Reverend Dr. Tony Crisp brought the house of thousands of AIPAC attendees to tears and to their feet as he shared his deep love and reverence for the Jewish people, for the Hebrew Bible, and for the Land of Israel.  He has embarked on a mission to bring evangelical Christians back to their roots: to the shared roots and values found in the Hebrew Bible and to the Land of our common ancestor, Abraham.

While Jews and Christians do not share a common theology, they share a common set of values and a history rooted in the Land of Israel.  This theme was echoed in yet another standing-room-only session led by Revered Dr. Crisp together with fellow ministers Reverend Dr. Sanders Hill and Ms. Sandy Wezowicz.  Their love of Israel and commitment to the Jewish people and to Israel is not about potential Christian converts or the Return of the Jews to the Land to usher in the end-of-times, but it is founded on the heart-felt belief that the Jews are God's chosen people, a belief in God's statement that, "Those who bless you [the Jews] will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed," and a belief that Israel is God's holy land.  It is these shared values, and the shared ethical principles by which both people's are expected to live, that they promote through the organizations they have founded: The Olive Tree Foundation, Victory to Glory International Ministries, and Aglow International.  Who better to have as friends than those who share our values?  Evangelical Christians like these are Israel's and the Jewish people's best friends....

For me, AIPAC was...much more...it was an experience that underscored some of my deepest Jewish beliefs about the importance of words, the importance of deeds and the importance of values."

"Not even Greek or Hebrew have words to describe what you did for us as a church, not to mention me personally. You have indeed been anointed for this work and it will be completed!....We are praying for you and your work....We are so blessed to have known you and will look forward to our paths crossing many more times...."

"In a recent church survey the question was asked, 'What has been your most valuable experience at this church?' There were people who indicated it to be the revival led by Dr. Tony Crisp seven months earlier. He has given them veracious, theological, and historical fluidity of scripture in a perspective they have never before experienced and will not soon forget."
- Brian Crisp, Cedar Creek Baptist Church, Cave Spring, GA

“I’ve had the privilege of co-teaching with Tony Crisp in Israel and can say without hesitation that his understanding of the geographical, historical, cultural, and linguistic contexts of the Bible is unmatched. His passion for and commitment to our Lord is evident in his teaching, generosity, and love for the people of God. I fully support his efforts to bring Christian pastors to Israel to learn the Bible in its Hebraic context. I am confident that anyone who goes to the Holy Land with Tony Crisp will come to a deeper understanding of the Scriptures that will renew in them a passion for preaching the Word in a way never before experienced.”
