Testimonials

“I am honored to write this recommendation on behalf of Keri Burman. I have known Keri for two years now as she and her family is active in the ministry at Eastlake Baptist Church in Crown Point, IN. Keri has a gift from the Lord.  She has an excellent stage presence and a wonderful soprano voice.  She is very professional in the way the message of God is presented.  She has ministered to us, here at Eastlake, and each time the church has been greatly blessed.  Recently we were blessed as she performed a dramatic presentation on the birth of Christ from the perspective of the Virgin Mary.  The presentation was better than excellent.  It was as good as I have ever seen!  In addition to her wonderful talent, she carries herself with style and a sweet spirit.  It is obvious that she is devoted to the Lord.  Without reservation I recommend Keri Burman with complete confidence that God has his hand upon her life and that she will be a blessing to those she serves.”

“Keri Burman is a gifted missionary who loves the church and is passionate about encouraging God’s people. She presents a vivid engaging message through drama and music that inspire all ages to give their best to Jesus. I took my family and we were talking about it for weeks. I recommend that you look at your calendar, give Keri a call, and schedule her to come. You will meet a delightful young woman who is respectful, personable, and who genuinely lives a life that honors Jesus Christ. “

"Keri Burman was sensational...but rather than hear from a Pastor - better yet to hear from one of our students at the church when Keri shared her presentation for youth called "The Soundtrack to My Life" during our recent youth retreat.  One student said 'finally, someone shared with me in a way that made sense...I finally get it.'  I would HIGHLY recommend all pastors, youth ministers and churches to book this particular presentation for their students and their parents as soon as possible.  It hits home!"

“‘The best program this year,’ one member said, and everyone agreed.
On Sunday night in mid-December, Keri Burman presented Mary of Nazareth in music and drama.
The attendance was great and the response was exuberant.  Adults and children alike were moved by the rich quality and clear message of the inspiring presentation.  We are looking forward to other presentations by Keri in the future.”

Rev. Charles Cooper
Pastor, Liverpool Baptist Church

“Keri Burman is a tremendously gifted Christian vocalist and actress who has a heart for ministry that matches her God-given ability!  During the weekend that she shared her program with us, we were all inspired not just by her professionalism but also by her servant's heart and sensitivity to the needs of our church!  In nearly twenty years of ministry, I can recommend no one more highly to you than Keri Burman!  Please take a moment and prayerfully consider how you can schedule her for your next event!  You won't be disappointed!”

“Keri Burman was a ‘shot in the dark’ for me because I rarely schedule anyone whom I do not know or have not seen in ministry.  I'm glad to say that I/we were very pleased with her presentation, personality and sincere desire to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I think she's great!”

Rev. Allen Lehmann
Pastor, Living Hope Church
Merrilllville, IN

“Keri came and presented the life of Mary Magdalene to us.  What an awesome young lady she is!  A performance that words simply cannot describe!  It was breathtaking to say the least.  The Holy Spirit fell down over our church like a warm blanket the moment she began her performance to the very end of the service.  If you have not seen her in person, it is a MUST!  She is such an encouragement to be so young and be ‘totally and wholly’ sold out to Jesus!  She truly radiates with the love of Christ with every move she makes and every song she sings!”

Rev. Jeff Spencer
Pastor, New Hope Baptist Church
Hobart, IN

"Keri Burman was amazing!  From her first contact to me through saying goodbye after her presentation she stayed Christ-like, humble and very professional.  In a day when Broadway-type actors are heading to New York or Hollywood...she has felt called by God to share her gift of music and stage acting in order to bring other people to the presence of God.  It is so humbling to see someone so talented give their life gifts to ministry.  I HIGHLY recommend Keri to any church and we look forward to having her back to our church in the near future."

Senior Pastor

“I recommend without reservation Keri Burman and her presentation of "Mary of Nazareth."  Keri's musical dramatizations will be a blessing to all who see and hear her.  It is certainly appropriate for all gatherings interested in the human perspective which is too often overlooked.  The evening of her performance at Ladoga Baptist church was time well spent.  Everyone present requested her return.”

Rev. Ernest Anderson
Senior Pastor
Ladoga Baptist Church
Ladoga, IN

“Miss Burman embraces the audience with her vocal presentation and dramatic portrayal of the Biblical character of Mary Magdalene.  Her presentation of this program at our Women’s Fellowship Dinner was outstanding and all that attended left spiritually uplifted.  I look forward to other presentations.  Keri Burman has been given a gift and we were very blessed to have her share that gift with our congregation.”
