Testimonial: 
  "I was truly amazed at the blessing I received at this 
  
regional conference. Thank you Janelle for accepting 
  the invitation to come. I believe that you are what made 
  the difference for me. If I'd been a sponge, I couldn't 
  have soaked up enough wisdom from you. I attend many conferences, and I can tell you that this was probably THE most wonderful, most memorable one I've ever been to. Thank you for exceeding my expectations. He has used you in ways you will probably never realize. One woman told me that she felt a connection this week-end that she had never felt before and was ministered to mightily as well. Thank you for Your honesty and transparency, your ministry and your heart."

           "I so enjoyed hearing you speak this weekend. It gave me such 
           a new perspective. I feel closer to God and happier with myself 
           as a woman. I am trying to let myself out of a cage I have had 
           myself in for so many years. I have denied myself so much and 
           have been my worst enemy for so long. But I know that God 
           wants me to be free! Thank you so much. Your sharing gave 
           me a big push in the right direction."
