“As the Director of a Christian ministry, it has been my privilege to help bring a number of gifted speakers to our community to address topics related to sexual and relational wholeness. Early in 2009, an opportunity presented itself to join hands with a local church-based counseling center in sponsoring such an event. We were looking for a speaker who possessed the versatility to lead both a training program for counselors and clergy and a day conference of teaching and ministry for those conflicted and struggling relationally and sexually. I had heard Janelle on several previous occasions. We concluded that she possessed an ideal combination of gifts to meet our needs. Janelle proved herself to be fully up to the challenge. She is a gifted speaker who is extremely well prepared to deal with a variety of topics both at a professional level as a counselor and in a ministry setting for hurting people to whom she brings a message of healing and hope. She proved once again that she has superb communication skills, which she is able to couple with a dramatic flair that rivets the attention of her audience. Thanks to Janelle our conferences were a great success.”
