"Evangelist Cothran, Blessings to you. I want you to know that God used you mightily this past weekend at our church and I am so glad that you were able to come and share the wonderful works of God. When I invited you I had only watched your interview on the TV program and had never seen you minister before, but I still felt in my spirit that this was God's doing and I did not want my congregation to miss out on this awesome testimony. With God's help you made a wonderful impact on the entire congregation. Apart from sharing your testimony, you ministered to so many and I am truly thankful to God for bringing you into our lives. I will be sharing testimonials with other pastors who I hope will take the risk to have someone speak to these issues from the pulpit. If there is any way we can be of help, do recognize that you have a family here in Brooklyn."

"It is my pleasure to share with you a recent presentation to the youth and adults of our congregation.  ...Before the presentation, some of our Youth Advisors had reservations and many questions.  After Evangelist Cothran's presentations to our youth, ages 6-11 and ages 12-17, as well as adults, ALL were asking for a return for another presentation.  We unanimously agreed to her return! 

Evangelist Cothran's presentation was a candid one, and age-appropriate!  She revealed her background in the homosexual movement in America...It was an eye-opening, heart-wrenching witness to how God can change a strong-willed person into a new creature.  The session of "Learning How to Fight In the Spirit!" was very effective in providing our youth tools to maintain a Christian walk in the midst of homosexuality and bi-sexuality.  We all left with the 1-2-3 Punch!"

"Of the 7 nationally known speakers, Charlene was the least known but the most well received. ...Her testimony to homosexuality as a choice was without equivocation and unarguable.  But even more powerful was the spirit in which she conveyed what she knew from both sides of her life, as an active, aggressive lesbian woman on the inside of the homosexual movement, to her vibrant relationship with the Living Christ."

Without a doubt, Charlene's witness to the danger of homosexuality to children, marriage, families, the church, and every American institution, is an undeniable witness that must be heard in every church, denominational meeting, and state legislature in the nation."

"I am writing to commend to you the ministry of Charlene Cothran.  Charlene spent two weeks in Hong Kong and Macau in a variety of ministry settings as a guest of Caring Friends, a ministry to educate the public about the realities in homosexuality. ...Ms. Cothran's ministry engagements included speaking in three churches, two Pastor's gatherings, a session with parents of homosexuals and lesbian children, a time with recovering homosexual youth, meetings with like minded ministries in homosexual concerns, individual counseling and our two-day conference "Love Can Transform".  I have only admiration for the way in which Charlene handled this assortment of situations.  She certainly has gifts for ministry and has willingness to serve.  Not only did I learn from Charlene but was able to put her advice into practice at our conference."
