" I would highly recommend The Luneaus for any camp. The Luneaus are not just great entertainment but also give a valuable message to the campers."
Gina Castelli (Head Coach, Siena College)
" The Luneaus routine is unique and exciting. The message on working hard and believing in your dreams is delivered in very creative ways. A must for your campers to witness, and great inspiration for audiences of all age groups."
Jim Jabir (Head Coach, Providence College)
" The Luneaus were great! Extremely entertaining and at the same time sent a very meaningful message to the campers."

" Ilze Luneau captivated the Carrier Dome crowd during her halftime performance during an SU men's home basketball game. Her amazing ball handling and juggling skills are a treat for young and old. Her two adorable, young daughters provided the high point of the performance."
Brent Bowden (Principal, AA Cole Elem., Constantia) "Ilze's presentation was gripping from the first minute to the last. The students were mesmerized by her athletic ability and chalanged by her motivational speaking. Students and staff are still talking about it."
Dear Ilze,
On behalf of the students, faculty, and parents of the Mont Vernon Village School, I would like to thank you and your girls for and amazing performance today. Everyone just asolutely loved it and walked away feeling so inspired. Several parents and students have told me that it was the best Field Day that our school has ever had. Thank you! Thank you! We appreciate everything that you all did for us and great travel lengths that it took for you to get here.
Many thanks to you all and have a wonderful summer!
Fondly,

Thank you so much for your two performances at the Bard College Summer Basketball Camp. The children have not stopped talking about the performance and I personally think it was one of the best. We look forward to having you perform again next year. I wanted to say thanks in person for a great show and appropriate entertainment for our young audience.
Best Wishes,

Ilze,
We are still getting compliments about your performance. You touched a lot of hearts and lives that night. We are estimating that there were 1,200 people there. Many of whom were not saved.
You'll always have a special spot in our hearts. If there is ever an opportunity for you to come back, I hope you will.
God Bless.

Ilze,
Greetings! I just finished filling out your request for recommendation as you are top of the line in performance and speaking God's Word into the lives of children and adults. I would highly recommed you to anyone. Thanks for the prayer concerning New Orleans as God has shut a door that we thought was the place. But when He shut that door He immediately opened a new door. We have done a lot of plowing over this past month and now it's all in His hands. I believe when He sends you to do a task He will provide the necessary resources sometimes they come from another direction than expected. God bless and have a great day!

Dear Ilze,
I thought your motivational basketball show was excellent. You did a great job of keeping the attention of our entire 7th grade class which is 190 students. This is no easy accomplishment since the program was scheduled directly before the students were let out for their summer vacation.
I would highly recommend your program to schools in the area. You were able to provide a high level of entertainment while sending positive messages on working hard, setting goals, staying drug free, etc. Thank you for a job well done!!

Dear Ilza:
Thank you so much for your wonderul show last week. We had a very successful turnout (1700) and kids and families alike had a great time! I especially want to thank you for the individual attention you gave all the young fans in teaching them to spin a basketball, after the half time show.
I received numerous compliments about you and on a fun and entertaining experience!
Sincerely,

It was so nice to have you in Chattanooga. Your performance at our Mocs basketball game was captivating. Fans were still talking about it several days later. Perhaps it will work out to have you in town for another performance in the coming seasons.
I especially want to thank you for taking time to give your testimony at Bethel Bible Village. I’m sure the kids enjoyed the “show,” but it was the message you brought that will stay with them. The Lady Mocs team really enjoyed hearing the message, too. Coach Wes Moore has told me several times how much your attendance meant to his team and the overall atmosphere of the afternoon.
Thanks again for sharing your heart and bringing your family along. Please tell Iliana and Marika that “Mr. Don” sends a great big “Howdy!” from Chattanooga. They were so cute and were a hit in the shows. God Bless You!
In Christ,

Ilze,
Thank you for the awesome performances during Upwards awards night. Nick asked me to follow up with you concerning the email you sent about suggestions/comments for improvement. I cannot think of anything, you really did a great job. I will be following up with the children who invited Christ into their lives during the next few weeks. Also, two adults responded that they asked Jesus into their lives during the event. On top of that one parent indicated that they were not sure if they knew Christ and wanted to know more about Him. I praise and thank God that He allows us to carry out His work. Thank you again for being part of what God is doing here at Hocutt. May God continue to bless you and your family.

I justed wanted to say thanks again! Your programs on Friday night were fantastic! I heard from many of the parents that loved the way you connected with the children. While your basketball skills are amazing, your ability to share the gospel and your testimony were even better. I look forward to working with again. Great show!!!!

Your performance was great. You really held the children's attention at Indian Lane Elementay School. Our response cards came back with 23 children making a profession of faith. Two adults responded to the gospel. You have made a eternal difference. We thank you and God is so pleased with you. Keep up the great work and ministry that God has given you.
You can put me on the e-mail bible verses.
Thank you,

Ilze, I just wanted to let you know that when we had our Upward appreciation dinner on the 17th, many, many folks commented positively about your ballhandling, energy, enthusiasm, positive approach, and clear presentation of the Gospel--outstanding! They also said they were impressed by you AFTER the presentation as you related individually to players and others. Again, we thank you for helping to make our celebration a huge success! We had ten players indicate they had prayed to receive Christ--follow-up is going on. Hope Godstock was a blessing.

Ilze put on an absolutely amazing show. She not only impressed the fans, but I still have staff members telling me how entertaining her performance was. It was great to work with such a talented person who really puts her heart and soul into her performance. Above all, it was an inspiring to meet someone who puts her relationship with the Lord first, and uses the talents He gave her to touch others. Thanks for everything Ilze, we’ll be in touch.

I cannot thank you enough for your superb performance at our Symposium last Wednesday. We were in awe of your juggling, balancing, and spinning powers. It was a perfect way to end the morning - and to begin thinking about life!

Hi Matt and Ilze!
It was just great to get to know you people and I really enjoyed the Godstock weekend. I don't have to tell you that your presentation, Ilze, is tremendous and I've been having fun sharing the little videos I took with people. Your talk was very good, as well. I was moved by your talks, Matt, and then the message from your pastor was so encouraging to me. We need to hear people "tell it like it is" and he certainly did.
I'm trying to get my act together since returning to Spain, but I want to keep in touch with you. I don't think that I got your mailing address, but if you'll send it via email, I'll send you our quarterly paper. It's just a folded page. I also have written a few books. Maybe I gave you one or two, but I'll try to get you the whole set.
You asked for photos of the Godstock weekend, especially the egg toss, so I'll send a few of those and then some of the favorites that I have.
Many blessings and I hope that we can keep in touch. Greetings from Spain,
