“There would be no CCAS sharing the light of Jesus Christ in the comic book community, and there would be no Alpha-Omega Con if it wasn’t for the dedication and perseverance of Don Ensign. The Lord used him in a mighty way and the impact of his vision still resonates even more strongly ten years after he went home.”
— Ralph Ellis Miley, New Creation Comics
“Don Ensign spoke softly, but always thoughtfully. And yet, through founding CCAS, he reached more comics fans with the Gospel than the loudest man with a bullhorn standing atop a mountain. God delights in sending a child to defeat a giant or sending a stutterer to confront a powerful ruler. Likewise, I think God delighted in sending a quiet man like Don to reach a whole community centered on communication through pictures and words. . . quiet words.”
— Eric Jansen, God and Country Graphics
