A Weekend...

- Of Hearing the Song of Your Soul--By far the most spiritually challenging weekend you'll ever encounter! Using eight songs found in Scripture, Eva Marie will guide your group toward spiritual maturity.

- Of Friendship with the Lord- What does it take to make Jesus your best friend? To understand the levels to which He draws those He calls brothers and sisters and...friends? Four one hour sessions with Eva Marie will help draw your group to knowing Jesus in the deepest way possible.

-Of Joy, Unspeakable Joy- What is joy? Is it laughing when you feel like crying? Is it smiling in the face of heartache? Or is it a peace that drives itself to the deepest part of your soul and propels us toward the One whose joy is our strength?

Meeting Planners Say:

• "Eva Marie Everson spoke for our Women's Christmas Tea in December of 2004 and what a great message she had for us. Her humor paved the way for the truth of the Word to be received and responded to. It was obvious that her love of scripture is the foundation of her ministry. It was a joy working with her in every way. She was professional and at the same time, immediately felt like part of the family. We would love to have Eva Marie involved in our Women's Ministry in the future." - Dennise Dekle Women's Ministry, Calvary Chapel, Gulf Breeze.

Eva Says:

Though not a comedian, I am considered a humorist. When I tell the stories of the Bible, I remind the audience of the humanness of the people who are a part of them. The audience laughs because they can see themselves, thus realizing that if God can use some of the "characters" from the Bible, He can certainly use them!

Also, some of the stories are difficult to hear, therefore humor is necessary in the telling.
Gospel Presentation? Of course! Not by simply presenting it verbatim, but by telling the stories that lead up to it, surround it, are a part of it, and then extend from it.

Why Eva Speaks:

Teaching and leading is a natural part of me. I've been teaching Sunday school and/or the Bible since I was 16. And, that's a long time! It is, as I said recently as a tea, "simply what I do..." Eva's Goal: Drawing believers to the heartbeat of God!
