“George Patton said that if everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking. Charles Lee is that somebody that isn’t thinking…like everybody else. His mind and heart are an unstoppable force of creativity and humility for which the world will never be the same.”
Brad Abare | Creator of Church Marketing Sucks and Personality | 2008
“Charles is an innovative leader who puts action to dreams. While many can put together a plan, Charles has a track record of doing it. I love his humility and heart to especially be creative in the areas of social justice locally and globally.”
Dave Gibbons | Lead Pastor of New Song and Author of The Monkey and the Fish | 2008
“The thing I love about Charles Lee as a communicator is that his speaking nearly always leads people to action.”

“Charles Lee inspires, mobilizes, and makes a difference in the organizations wise enough to invite his insight.”
Eric Bryant | Co-Pastor at Mosaic and Author of Peppermint-Filled Pinatas | 2008
“Architecturally speaking, Charles personifies the idea of ‘less is more’ continually proving that ‘essence is more’- no more, no less… allowing essential changes to take place in the hearts of young people. In this respect he truly is a ‘cultural catalyst’ with his uncanny ability to passionately articulate the voices of his generation with a creative spring and joy-filled heart. As a partner in speaking for those who are forgotten by society, I am grateful to have a partner who truly understands the resultant beauty of the ‘Jesus paradox’.
Charles Wee, AIA | Architect and President of GDS Architects and Founder of International Care Community | 2008
“I can always count on Charles to bring creativity, innovation and servant-leadership to the table. He has a unique ability to mix these gifts along with his sobering yet hopeful pulse on culture and world issues to mobilize people into action, causing lasting impact to any organization or group he is a part of.”
Chris Cannon | Lead Pastor of King’s Harbor Church | 2008
“Charles is one of the best teachers and critical thinkers I know. His blend of creativity and cutting insight is refreshing, challenging and spiritually charged. He has my highest recommendation.”
Tim Mossholder | Director of Foursquare Emerging Leader Network | 2007
“Charles is a creative, compassionate, intelligent, self directed leader who always brings out the best in all of his team members. He is also really good looking.”
Billy Calderwood | Pastor of Aqueous | 2007
“Charles is a great leader with a well-balanced and honest perspective with those he works with, with the projects he manages and with the people he encounters each day. With his eyes and heart outward to global plights of those in poverty, those orphaned and those enslaved, he has found practical ways to allow us to locally become the hands and feet of compassion knowing not matter how local, we ultimately are connected to our brothers and sisters around the world.”
Joel Hickenbottom | Owner of Engaged Media | 2007
“Charles is very creative in the many ways he connects the Biblical realities of the ancient world with the current issues of today. He’s a great encourager of action. He goes beyond ‘preaching’ about what we ought to do by actually “doing” the things God places on his heart. His involvement with JustOne is a prime example of him putting his faith into action. Charles is one of those leaders that many will continue talking about for years to come.”
Derrick Engoy | Author and Administrative Pastor of New Life Harbor City | 2008
“Charles is well known for being a skilled and trusted leader. His rallying on behalf of the orphaned, impoverished, and trafficked comes from a long-growing well of compassion in his heart. He is a challenging speaker who uses creativity, humor, and poignancy to engage his audience.
After six years of relationship with Charles, it’s what I know about his personal life that legitimizes his ministry. His risky honesty, high standard of excellence, great integrity, and commitment to family and to Christ is inspiring. It’s clear that God trusts Charles with a lot. I recommend Charles to any venue without any reservation.”
Josh England | Entrepreneur and Children’s Pastor of East Hill Church | 2008
“Every time I get the opportunity to hear Charles Lee speak, I’m on the edge of my seat. He engages me not only with his words but with the way that he delivers them. I feel like I’m included in the conversation, and I’m always challenged to think and take action on my beliefs.”
David Wheeler | Short-Term Missions Coordinator for Foursquare Missions International | 2008
In the time that I have known Charles Lee I have found him to not only be passionate about the issues he has dedicated his life to but also an inspiration to his congregation and students alike. Charle’s desire to engage people not as a superior but as someone who is walking down the same path as those he deals with helps him to stand out amongst his peers. I am not only honored to call Charles a colleague, but also to call him friend.”
Nathan Elson | Product Evangelist at Enthusiast, Inc. & Marketing Manager at Rose Publishing, Inc. | 2007
