"It has been my privilege to serve with Kevin and Katalyst all around the
world.  My respect for he and the ministry God has placed as his path can
only be exceeded by the brotherly love we share.  While there are many
ministries today who claim a "connect" or a "Global" impact, there are
few who bring the Spiritual awareness, leadership and presence that Kevin
and Katalyst bring to the table.  I not only recommend this ministry
unconditionally and completely, but I also can not wait to partner with
them again.  Let God use them to be a Catalyst for something new in your
walk."

David Burke
President of Total Surrender Evangelistic Association Inc.

“With our world running out of control and students being pushed to do more
than they have time in a day to do it's critical for students to experience
the God who has passionately pursued them.

I believe Kevin and his team meet kids exactly where they are and address
the real need students have in this broken world, how to have a genuine walk
with Christ.

Katalyst weekend can be a life changing experience for students, I know it
was for our students and I highly recommend anyone looking for an
opportunity for their students to grow deeper in their faith. “

Student Minister of Faith Baptist, Artesia NM

"Kevin Kirkland and the Katalyst Team seek to honor the LORD in all that
they do.  From preaching/teaching, to leading small groups, to building
relationships, and everything in between the Katalyst team is excellent and
God-honoring.  The team is focused and intentional while humble and moldable
at the same time. The Katalyst Team is not just another ministry - they
minister."

"Kevin is one of the most sincere loving people you will ever meet. When Kevin communicates to people you can see his love for God and for the people that he is speaking to. Kevin doesn't come and just speak he will come and invest himself into your students and adults. Kevin is an incredible blessing to all he comes in contact with. His love for God's word is so evident in his communication. Kevin is passionate and has a pure love for what he is doing. Everyone that comes in contact with Kevin is blessed."

"Our church was greatly blessed by the Katalyst ministry team. We are a small, rural church and have been blessed by having a good cross-section of people from different backgrounds and different ages. This was no problem for Kevin and the team. They came in and treated all the people with respect. Kevin preached relevant, Biblical messages for our students and the team members followed up in the homes by pointing kids to Christ and His Word. On Sunday morning, Kevin preached a message relevant for the entire church. The band, Ornan's Floor also wanted to show respect for the older members of our church and so they did not use any drums or amplification on their guitars. They led an acoustic worship service. This showed true humility and respect for our entire church. Our youth were challenged and encouraged and the gospel was preached and lived before them. I highly recommend a Katalyst weekend, no matter what the size of your church or youth group is. Kevin and the team have a heart for youth and they love the Lord Jesus Christ. They are committed to teaching and preaching the truth of the Word of God. They challenged the youth not just to make a decision, but to give thier entire life to Jesus."
