Greeting a friendly local on the Golan Heights, Israel

What Good Friends Said When Asked...

I have known Don Ott for 30 years. He is a faithful husband, father, pastor and, most of all, follower of Jesus. Don is also a gifted speaker and teacher of God's Word, with a sense of humor that allows for easier digestion!

Dr. Mark Mitchell, Central Peninsula Church

Foster City, CA

Don Ott is a man of faith with a strong heart for young athletes. His message to our young people is one of personal responsibility, emotional resilience, and excellence. I am so glad to call him my friend.

Dr. Frank Ayers, Chancellor,

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, AZ

Don Ott is the consummate presenter; so inspiring and educational.  I marvel at how much I learn each time he is asked to provide an inspirational insight to our group.  You will leave Don’s presentation better informed and energized.  One of the best I’ve had the pleasure to work with!

Mark A. Pope, Commissioner

The Sun Conference; Past Chair, NAIA Conference Commissioners Association

If you are looking for a really funny guy who loves to tell great sports stories and keeps the audience laughing, then don’t invite Don Ott to come speak to your people. But if you want a humble man whose passion is to know Jesus, teach God’s Word and attract others to follow Christ, (and tell great stories too) then Don’s your man.

Dr. Norm Schwab, Northview Bible Church

Spokane, WA

Don is a gifted and energetic communicator to all age groups. He is relevant, honest, truthful, always well prepared, thought-provoking and speaks to the context of the audience. He brings spiritual principles to life, with a good use of stories, personal experiences and relevant cultural events. I highly recommend him.

Doug Tegner, Pastor, Redwood Chapel Community Church

Castro Valley, CA

Despite being the victim of many sermon illustrations, I still find myself loving to listen to the teachings of my Dad. Sure, he has many personal vignettes laced with humor, and tells many a dad-joke, but he connects with the stories and teachings of the Word on an emotional level that brings the Bible to life in an applicable, challenging, and encouraging way. I’m a lucky kid to have grown up listening to him share his love of Jesus.
