Juan Lentisimo, Senior Graph Plotter

“Altar calls should continue for as long as they have to. It’s a proven fact that if you dim the lights, play soft music and keep asking if there is one more person who wants to come up front, someone will eventually volunteer.”

Martha Magda, Sleep Center Supervisor

“Any preacher who does an altar call for six minutes should be prepared to give it a rest by the seventh. It’s downright Biblical.”

Frank Blewwitt, Donut Inspector

“I can tell when my pastor is about to do an altar call. I always head for a bathroom break right before he gets started.”
