Upward Award Programs
One of the most effective sports ministries around the country is Upward™. An engaging outreach tool that countless churches use each year, Peter has ministered to thousands of athletes and parents as part of the Awards Night celebrations that close each sports season. With his unique and dynamic program, Peter is sought after by churches both large and small to make their season finale something to remember.
With the plethora of performers available today, it's a tough choice to pick just the right person. One thing that makes Peter stand out from the crowd is that he is a 7-Time World Champion Rope Jumper. Many churches he's performed at have made the comment that "it's nice to actually have an athlete this year". Couple his years of jump rope experience with over 12 years of working as a professional entertainer and you've got an Awards Night that will rival any you've ever seen. You're in for an extremely energetic, fun, visually stimulating program that is perfect for every age. He demonstrates rope skipping skills that have to be seen to be believed, unicycling, audience participation and a glow-in-the-dark finale. On top of the rope jumping dynamics, Peter delivers the gospel message in a clear, concise manner that anyone can understand. His years of working with students of all ages will be quite evident as he adjusts and tailors the show to the unique needs of each audience. We find that the parents enjoy the program just as much, if not more, than the kids do.
"Peter provides an excellent presentation that grabs the attention of all who are attending, children and adults alike. His highly skilled demonstrations with the jump rope and accompanying props will leave you amazed...Don’t miss out on Peter’s grand finale as he performs in the dark with glow in the dark jump ropes and props that send the evening off with a bang!
Peter takes this opportunity of grabbing the audience’s attention to share with them something even more impressive, how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is apparent that Peter has spent significant time working with children as he demonstrated a great knowledge of not only how to communicate to them but also how to maintain their attention. Throughout his performance, Peter takes time to implement a two part story that builds into presenting the Gospel. Both sections are in story-telling form and last no more than a couple of minutes before going back to his demonstration. This allows him to maintain the audience’s attention. At the end of the night before the grand finale, Peter takes more focused time to wrap up his story which leads into the Gospel presentation. He spoke on a level that the children could understand and respond to. We had a tremendous response to Peter’s presentation this year during our Awards Night."
