TESTIMONIALS

"My wife and I just finished watching your DVD Blacks In The Scriptures. I could write a review that would take up at least 5 pages legal size. We loved it! Do you (both) give seminars? What information will or could you send me? Thank you. "

~ Lloyd in CO

"Thank you so much! I love your DVDs--great work."

~ Don W.

"Dearly appreciated brother Perkins,

Thanks to your gracious service in the LORD'S work I have since found myself relieved of the fear that I was losing my faith. And hitherto since received much mercy and personal revelation from our gracious and HOLY FATHER by means of his SPIRIT, dreams, and guidance through inspired study of the scriptures concerning this topic. I thank you again for the testimony builder you have provided for me and my father. Your loving brother and fellow servant of the HOLY LORD JESUS CHRIST,"

~ Trent, TX

"Dear Darius,

The inability of my parents and other in the church to answer questions about this and other issues caused me to leave the church for many years. After returning I still had many questions but knew if I was patient, I might find some answers. The fireside you gave and the DVD has cleared up a lot of things for me. Once again, it was a pleasure finally being able to meet you and I found the DVD fascinating and informative. "

~ Richard, UT

"My son is getting ready to leave on his mission to Trinidad and I am grateful for him to have this great resource available. Thank you for your wonderful work."

~ James, UT

"Thank you for the great work you have done."

~ Fred, NC

"Dear Marvin,

You and Darius have changed my life. When I first learned of the DVDs I had an expectation. When I received the set it raised my expectation. When I watched the DVDs, they exceeded my expectations. The scriptural scholarship was amazing! I am forever changed and indebted to the two of you for this great work."

~ Richard, Provo, UT

"Thank you both for your work. It is truly inspirational to me. God bless you."

~ Dan, MI

"I heard you speak at a fireside a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed your talk. I spoke to my Bishop today and asked him if our ward could invite you to speak at a fireside for our stake. He said that would be great."

~ Lauren, CA

"Dear Mr. Gray and Mr. Perkins,

I have watched your DVDs, Blacks in the scriptures, and listen recently to a pod cast and think that your work is wonderful. I am a Bishop in Texas and one of my ward members loaned them to me. My stake president and I are excited about their potential for good."

~ Bishop G, TX

"Members of my Ward heard your fireside and were very impressed. They gave me the internet address, I looked it up and am ordering the DVD set. I plan to have several firesides here in my home using the DVD set after I watch it myself."

~ Mary, FL

"Dear Bro. Perkins,

I am presently serving with my wife as the Director of the California Oakland Temple Visitors’ Center.  When I attended the fireside, I was immediately more than intrigued,

I know e-mails are designed to be brief, but my enthusiasm this morning is not brief – it is large and full of gratitude for the clarity and power of the message you shared.  I was so positively inspired by the humility and kindness of your approach.  I know that with the unfolding of each scripture, together with references to Elder McConkie, President McKay and others, this is a message whose time has finally come.  The Church is in such a unique position today, where its doors, windows and gates are open to accept all worthy people into the Church and the Kingdom of God, that it is an understatement to say it is a time to give and feel some understanding of the pain, labels and misunderstandings of the past that have caused so much anguish among brothers and sisters of color. 

I am grateful beyond words for your efforts and those of your associates who I am sure have labored long and hard to produce the DVDs.

Warmest regards, your brother in the Gospel of Christ,"

~ Elder Pedersen

  
"Thank you so much for coming and speaking at our Fireside. The message was inspiring. It felt like a wave of truth and the spirit testified to me of the simple truthfulness of your message. It was so refreshing to finally have the answers to the questions that seemed so daunting before. To know that the answers were there all the time was amazing. I would love to have a copy of the message so I can study it for myself and be able to share it with others. "

~ M Roberson, CA

"Thanks for the powerful presentation last night."

~ Elder Veach, Senior Missionary, San Diego, CA

"Thank you!.  I'm so glad that this is something that I can use when I'm talking with Blacks investigators.  My missionary work has been hard because of the problems and misunderstandings that others of different cultures have towards Blacks.  Fictions are now replaced with Truth."

~ R Johnson, Whittier, CA

"Before another week goes by I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the fireside and your diligent research!  Isn't it amazing how it is "all there" if we just look with the correct perspective in mind?  Having been raised in the church during the period when blacks did not hold the Priesthood, I just assumed --- and isn't that just the problem?  Until we search something out and diligently study about a question or principle, we won't have a testimony of what the Lord is trying to tell us.

I was so excited about your presentation, it was part of my Visiting Teaching lesson the next day when I did my last couple visits.

Well anyway, I just wanted to thank you so much for helping to open my eyes.  If you would please forward a copy of your presentation as you promised, I would be so appreciative so I can go through scripture by scripture as you suggested."

~ Annette, Chula Vista, CA

"This is awesome! I look forward to learning more about the truths presented.  This will do a lot of good in many communities."

~ Greg, Orange County, CA

"I wanted to write to thank you for that powerful, inspired presentation last night. You gave me back 20 years of my life. I have struggled to both explain and understand these issues over those years and have never felt comfortable with anything I’d heard or read until last night. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

~ Jackie, San Diego, CA

"The missionaries in my ward are teaching a Black fellow. I told them about the DVD and they were excited. The one missionary is from Utah and has heard Darius speak. Congrats! What a wonderful thing!"

~ Marilyn, Corona, CA

"Just want to say THANK YOU for such a spiritual evening At The Oakland Interstake Center."

~ Gussie R

"Thank you again for your fireside talk this evening. I feel liberated by what I’ve learned. I’m looking forward to sharing it with others. "

~ Peter, Los Angeles, CA

"Marvin,

WOW !  Intense, but necessary.  There is so much to learn, and we have it all before us.  I am looking forward to sitting down and learn more.  With this DVD you can reach more, do more, and touch more.  I can hardly wait until everyone knows about it.
 
Tofa soifua,"

~ George, Clearwater, FL

"Thank you for your Fireside talk on Sunday.  I learned so much, especially about studying the scriptures for myself.  I served a mission in North Carolina where most of the people I taught the gospel to were African American.  I wish I'd learned all this back then.
 
Thanks much!"

~ Mindy, Los Angeles, CA

"My English teacher did not agree with my beliefs. She did not like the Mormons because supposedly we were racist and I defended our Church ignorantly, not knowing the history behind anything that had to do with it at all. But despite our differences, she and I loved each other dearly like no other. I wish I would have known these things before, so I could have taught her. Thank you so much for that awesome fireside/lesson! It is much appreciated! "

~ Mele, CA
