Was blessed to hear Karen speak at our annual women's retreat last October. She is so funny and we could all relate to her life story. I love how she weaves her testimony with the Word of God and how He has rescued her throughout her life. We thoroughly enjoyed her presentations over the weekend as her effervescent personality bubbled over to the crowd. She totally made us all feel like one of her girlfriends just hanging out for the weekend! J. Schwarz
