you planning an upcoming event? Need some help in
the planning and details? * * * * * * What Listeners Say: You blessed our sox off! Have your ears been burning? All rave reviews. It's hard to describe how I was personally ministered. Watching and listening to you was an incredible experience. Your words and music were perfect...it was a joy to share the platform with you. -- Joni Eareckson Tada, Director JAF Ministries What a gift you are to the Body of Christ! Thank you so very much for the vitally important role you played at the Tribute Luncheon and again on Youth Day! I, for one, will never be quite the same because of your witness, your grace, your beautiful voice, and your unrelenting faith in our Great God. -- Barbara McGuigan, National Christian Speaker, Laguna Niguel, CA You made God real, for it would have been understandable for you to have just witnessed but you did more, you have become God's glorious tool. It changed my ministry... prodded it a great deal. Thank you for that. -- Rev. Don Woodford, Jackson, OH How does one thank another human being for giving them hope, strength for the journey, assurance in their faith and for helping them come fully alive? That is what I would like to do with this letter to you and words fall short. -- Joan Cleveland, World Vision International You were responsible for a dramatic change in my life. Only those with a special gift can open our eyes and loosen our grip. You have that gift, Renée. You were the one that made me loosen my grip and open my eyes, when all others had failed. Though I have just begun my journey with the Lord, I have dedicated my life to do His will. -- Dennis Kamae, Waipahu, HI I have witnessed many speakers talking to large groups of students but in all my years of teaching... you were absolutely the best! You had them in the 'palm of your hand'. -- Peggy Conghlin, Teacher, Carlsbad, CA You "stood" before us all with twinkling eyes, a radiant smile and a peaceful countenance coupled with a wonderful sense of humor and an incredible faith that was truly a joy to behold. The fact that people could just not let go of you was further testimony to the power of your story and song. -- Jan Scripps, Mother's Guild, Bellarmine College Preparatory, Bellarmine, CA Your story and your remarkable faith touched me so deeply that I cannot fully express it in words. I felt the presence of Christ so strongly during your talk. As a result of hearing your testimony, I have been renewed to seek Him in the small decisions as well as the big decisions. -- Chris Gerien, Orange County, CA Once again, you've demonstrated what a true 'champion' you are! You glow--you sparkle! God has blessed you with such a beautiful spirit--how clearly He beams through your face, your voice and your dazzling smile! I really felt the profound sentiments you expressed and your dynamic witness will reach our television audience at a new and deeper level. -- Rev. Robert Schuller, Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, CA When I heard 'Only In God' sung by you on KWVE, I had to pull my car over and stop. I was so overcome with emotion.
