It’s comedy with a purpose! Are you looking
for a new outreach ministry? Are you finding it difficult to
cast the net of evangelism to a lost world? Are you
realizing that most church members won’t attend their own
revival? If they won’t attend, how can we expect the lost
to attend? If they do come, do they come with a closed and
hardened heart? From being on staff at churches in the past,
I have realized the challenge of outreach. I have talked to
pastors throughout the country and most agree that in order
to catch more fish, you have to have more hooks in the water
and that’s where
Comedy
Evangelism
Outreach
and Lanny Moody Comedy Ministries comes in.
There are a number of different outreach programs, but one
of the most effective is standup comedy. Think about it.
Everyone loves to laugh. Well, most everyone! Some of the
most talked about programs today in and out of church is
comedy central television. Why can’t we offer something to
our church and community that is positive, clean, and
uplifting, but most important, spiritual! Why can’t we, as
the body of Christ offer something that is unique,
different, entertaining, and funny, but spiritual and
evangelistic!
For the past several years the
Comedy
Evangelism
Outreach
(C.
E. O.)
program has been working all across the country by using
comedy to open the hearts of the lost. The
C. E. O.
events have opened the homes of families who do not attend a
church. Just take a look at some of the emails that we have
received:
o
Lanny, I want to thank you for
not just making me laugh, but for telling me about the love
of Christ! Charles, Nashville, TN
o
Lanny, The night I came to
hear you I wasn’t sure what to expect. I did not expect to
leave that place changed, and that’s what happened. I’m
changed! Danny, Tampa, FL
o
Lanny, I came to hear you the
other night when you were in town. I’m a member of that
church and you helped me realize that I was not saved. Thank
you for explaining the plan of salvation in your concert. Pamela,
Birmingham, AL
o
Lanny, For a long time now
I’ve been miserable with my life. I’m a member of a church,
a SS teacher in the church, choir member and pretty much
everything else in the church. I guess I had come to a point
in my life where I was burned out and didn’t want to do it
anymore. You helped me realize that it’s not my “job” to
serve God and others, but it’s my “ministry” to Him and
others. Thank you. Sam, Indianapolis, IN
o
Lanny, I laughed at me, at my
wife, and with my kids; and then I cried. When you gave the
invitation, I realized I should’ve invited my lost brother
to hear you. Adam, Sarasota, FL
God
is working in great ways through a number of venues today
and it has given church members another reason and
opportunity to invite that lost friend or family member to
church one more time.

Lanny performed
for our staff Christmas party and again for my singles. He
did a great job at both events. Lanny brings with him joy,
fun, excitement and encouragement.

I have used
Lanny several times through the years and have enjoyed and
trusted him every time. I’ve never had to worry at all about
what he will say, do, or how he will treat my people. He has
always presented a humble heart and attitude, with a spirit
of Christian love and compassion at every event. Oh, and you
will laugh, I promise! I highly recommend him for any event.
Larry Lawrence, First Baptist
Church, Jonesboro, GA (770) 471-4255
If laughter
doeth good like a medicine, then I can assure you that Lanny
Moody will bring healing to your congregation! Lanny has
been given a gift of ministering to people by making them
laugh at themselves in life situations. It is a delight to
recommend a Christian who is a comedian and will have folks
rolling in the aisles with humor that is completely and
totally clean. It is a joy to recommend Lanny Moody to your
congregation.
Dwight "Ike" Reighard,
Pastor, North Star Church, Acworth, GA (770) 461-4337
Thank you for
sharing with our adult and youth choirs. You did GREAT and
our folks loved it. Many have said they have never "laughed
so hard". Your humor and ability to make people laugh is a
gift from God. Most importantly, thank you for sharing about
what Christ has done in your life. Only Jesus can take a
life wrecked by sin and place a song in that same heart and
laughter in that same mouth. My prayer is that God will
continue to use you to spread the gospel and be a strong
witness for Him. We look forward to having you back.
Gary Morton, Minister of
Music, Second Baptist Church, Warner Robins, GA (912)

Lanny's humor is
outrageous, piercing, and convicting. He is as refreshing as
he is deep. I must give you a warning: If your congregation
is more concerned about being socially and politically
correct than reaching teenagers and adults for Christ, he
may not be the one for you, but if you're looking to reach
out to those who desperately need Jesus, he will "rock their
world."
Buddy Lamb, Georgia Drama
Festival Coordinator, (706) 568-0000
Lanny is one of
the most poplar speakers I bring in for entertainment. He
often imitated, but never duplicated! He has always done a
great job.
Barry Owen, Minister of
Education, First Baptist Church, Conyers, GA (770)483-8700
Thanks so much
for Sunday night. Everybody, young and old, loved it! I
especially liked the way you caused us to hysterically laugh
at ourselves and others and yet still rethink how we live
our lives, deal with our children, and love people as a
church. That my friend, is true comedy and you are a true
comedian. May God bless you and your family.
Russ Donaho, Associate
Pastor, Iron City Baptist Church , Anniston, AL (256)

Thanks for
working with us at our festival. Your closing was right on
target.
Carol Garrison, Eagle’s
Landing First Baptist Church, McDonough, GA (770) 957-1355
You were great!
The funniest “Christian” comic I’ve seen.
Keith McBroom,
Minister/Music, N. Metro First Baptist Church,
Lawrenceville, GA (770) 995-9055
Lanny, you gave
us a double dose of medicine last night!
