HEART STORY
Mike comes from a tragic inner-city home where neither of his brothers lived to see 18. His sisters became the victims of that lifestyle as well. Mike's mother was contemplating abortion until a Christian offered to be personally involved. The tragedy became a triumph as Mike was rescued by a Christian couple who had prayed for a child for 12 years. Mike's is a story of life. But wait—there is more.
To pay it back, Mike and his wife rescue-adopted their first child. This story of hope and inspiration will bring tears to the eyes of everyone in your room. But wait—there is more.
Mike will share how the pregnancy center's impact turned around the birth mother and how her success today is directly a result of the local pregnancy center. But wait—there is more.
When Mike shares how his adopted son got involved in rescue, you might just be ready to sign the title to your house or car over to your local pregnancy center. This story touches hearts and opens wallets for your ministry.
Mike, a master storyteller, can share this in only 15 minutes if needed. Mike knows how to close with a call to generous action in both a monthly partnership AND a special gift for a special project.
The humorous way Mike tells his story will inspire your audience. The compelling way he weaves your organization's story all through the presentation will open checkbooks. Laughing people give more than crying people! It is just a fact.
FUN FUNDRAISING
A merry heart works like good medicine. God loves a cheerful, hilarious giver. Our adversary is about abortion; you are about successful life-saving! That should be celebrated with joy! The reason that speakers like Dr. James Dobson, Kirk Walden, Marc Newman, Eric Metaxes, Tim Boyd, Gordon Douglas, and Mike are so engagingly fun when they speak is purposeful. Your event is about life-saving success! Studies have shown that people (including board members) fear inviting others to PRC banquets because of the content. Fun events encourage people to invite more friends.
Mike is a GMA Dove Award winner who can help you significantly increase your revenue. His client list includes organizations like Focus on the Family, hundreds of pregnancy centers, and hundreds of NGOs across America. He has presented on the main stage at Heartbeat and Care-Net multiple times and taught over twenty donor development workshops for them. On a side note, he has logged over 5 million Delta air miles for pro-life ministries.
Men often recognize his voice from SiriusXM radio or Dry Bar Comedy, and male involvement often increases the donation response by 10X. When Mike leads your group to sing Happy Birthday to the children they have rescued, men will have eyes filled with tears of joy!
BY THE $$$ NUMBERS
Giving amounts have much to do with the audience demographic. Mike will coach you in attaining the best audience for maximum generosity. While every event differs, here are some (per person giving stats) from high to low. The HCP dinner numbers are too unbelievable to post. Let's talk.

HOLDING SOMEDAY NOVEL
Mike's new novel, published by Col. Oliver North and Gary Terashita (Fidelis Publishing), is a collection of true stories from the trenches of the pregnancy center world experienced through the life of a pregnant young lady who is working two jobs, one at a Pregnancy Center and another at an abortion provider. The situations are authentic, although the names have been changed. Holding Someday was designed to speak to the undecided with real-life stories told in novel form. This book will inspire and change hearts, and it already has. Holding Someday proves why the pregnancy center movement is the most successful arm of lifesaving ever assembled and worthy of our overwhelming support. Please check out Holding Someday by Mike Williams and W.R. Ross. Pre-order on Amazon.com today for your table hosts.
MIKE INSPIRES BOARDS
Boards hire Executive Directors, believing an E.D. will raise the money needed to operate the center. People become executive directors to save lives, assuming the board is co-passionate about helping fundraise for the organization. This misunderstanding is a recipe for inadequate funding and closet animosity. The Simple PRC Board Success Workshop teaches the Board and the Executive Director how to co-labor to increase funds. This team approach delivers the most tremendous success, improving the center's income by 40%. Mike teaches this as a live 4-hour workshop, or your board members may view it online at your convenience at www.FOOTBASS.com.

"We raised $100,000 more than in previous years. Thanks Mike!" -Rachel Nguyen
"Mike did a fantastic job. His flight was delayed due to severe weather on the east coast and he didn’t miss a beat. He got in “late” but it didn’t deter him from his mission and message. I did not worry or stress because he had it all under control. The guest feedback was all positive. Everyone truly enjoyed Mike."
-Kim Andrews, CareNet, Thurston County
"Mike has an ability to hone in on what will cause his audience to respond. He reads the crowd before delivering exactly what is necessary to motivate them to give. In his first two years as our speaker, we experienced back-to-back record-breaking banquets. This year, Mike once again helped us to break our latest fundraising record. The money raised was all the more impressive because of how quickly Mike altered his set to meet the potential donors' moods. After our CEO delivered a challenging, sobering, and inspiring address, Mike realized the need to keep the crowd keyed into what they had just heard. He reinforced some of the points and peppered in jokes— enough to live up to his accolades without lightening the mood to distraction. If you book Mike Williams as your speaker, then you are guaranteed a veteran comedian with the skill and talent necessary to highlight your best efforts, smooth over missteps, and deliver an appeal that will have donors eager for an opportunity to give."
-Delaney Walker, New Hope PCC
"Mike also came and did a Board training for us. He made us think "outside the box." We recently had a Board meeting and each board member there thought the time spent with Mike was very profitable. This was our largest attended banquet and the largest amount raised to date. Overwhelmingly, our guests asked for us to have Mike back next year."
-Cindy Roberts, Life Options Clinic
"Mike was fantastic. We struggled to get guests committed to coming, and to some degree, getting the right guests to the event. We love Mike. He is amazing and effective and such a value-added speaker, making really practical suggestions and giving great encouragement."
-Martha Sitzler, Hope PRC
"Thanks again for a wonderful night! Laff-4-Life was a great night of laughs, fellowship and support for First Step Pregnancy Clinic! People have commented to me that "they never laughed so hard in their life!"; "they laughed until they cried!"; and "Mike did such an amazing job transitioning from jokes to the serious side of support for the ministry. Well done!"
-David Wilkinson, First Step PC
"He knocked it out of the park for us! I know he was absolutely exhausted, but he still made time to come by our center and spend good time with the staff; as well as listened and asked questions so that he was very familiar with our ministry before he spoke that night. last year we raised $103,000 and that was the most ever before this year. Our goal for this year was $126,000 and I was concerned about not getting that much! At Mike’s advise, I tweaked the appeal card to his suggestions, and combined with his appeal, it worked!!!!! We are blown away by God’s provision!"
-Victoria Miglin, PRC Statesville
"He's such a reliable and professional speaker. A pleasure to work with! We were pleased with our fundraising results, since this was our first year! -Jennifer Shaw, SFC, South GA
We have raised about the same on monthly giving but the upfront one time donation was definitely up. Our goal was $100,000.00 for the night and we exceeded that."
-Michelle Plott, PRC Henry County
"It was an honor to have you speak at PCC's 6th Annual Fundraising Banquet. With your help, we were able to raise more than $195,000 in pledges and gifts!" -Cindi Boston CEO PCC Springfield, MO (This was the first year Mike did the banquet. The second year Mike did the banquet the event went over $330,000)
"I appreciate your wisdom in asking us to allow you the responsibility of making that appeal on our behalf. I especially appreciated the quiet time of prayer - you could hear a pin drop. We were able to raise $186,000 for the center. Again, thank you for partnering with us and helping this ministry to continue to make a difference in the lives of so many in our community." -David Misner Director /Hope Center PRC Fort Wayne, IN
"We want to let you know that we had a wonderful time with Mike. I have NEVER had a complaint about Mike even after hosting him five times. Everyone was absolutely wonderful to work with, thank you for all you have done. Mike increased our monthly pledges this year 50%." -Dawn Theil, Director, Garden City, KS
"My husband hates to come to these... as he calls them "women's events" no matter who the speaker is. I was able to convince him to come because he knew Mike Williams as the guy he laughs at on SiriusXM radio. He came and was blown away. He even asked me to write an extra good check out to the organization." -Franklin, TN
“I wanted to let you know that Mike Williams was a great success. We tripled our donations from last year! I have heard nothing but wonderful comments from the community on what a tremendous performance he gave.” -Director, Life Choices
“We were especially pleased to receive so much positive feedback from the men, who are usually harder to please than the ladies that attend. One -time giving was up about 75%. New commitments went up 500%...” -PRC, Bakerfield, CA
I can’t thank you enough for speaking at the banquet, and more specifically, supporting the name change and talking about it throughout the evening. We brought in 50 NEW monthly supporters at the banquet. -Andrea Riggs / Tri-Cities Pregnancy Network
We are all set to bring you for the third year in a row .
-Donna Jensen / ED / Grace House PRC, DeLand, FL
“Financially tripled! Nothing but positive comments.”
-PRC, Evansville, IN
