Meeting Planners Say:

• "Nancy brought an extraordinary energy and wisdom to our Women's event. We had many women far from God in the audience and several struggling with difficult life circumstances; she touched them and challenged all of us with her thoughtful communication and transparency. The women loved her. Nancy is a listener, learner and lover of people and it shows. I know we will invite her back for future events."

- Andrea Minor
Director of Women's Ministries
Willowcreek Community Church, South Barrington, Illinois

• "Nancy's genuine heart for God reflects in her teaching! She communicated biblical principles in a relevant way that reached into the hearts of our women and drew them into the presence of God! God used her at our retreat in a powerful way!"

- Kathy Caprio,
Women's Ministries,
Palm Community Church, Boynton Beach, FL

• "Nancy was our keynote conference speaker to over 600 women. Authentic and transparent, she made us feel like she knew just what was in our hearts. Articulate and anointed, her messages were filled with passion and Biblical truth which brought challenge, hope and change in lives. I appreciated Nancy's willingness to give of herself. She was approachable and personable (and patient!) with the many women who wanted an autograph of her book, a photograph of her, or to tell her a snippet of their own life story. She spent many extra hours, counseling and praying with people in one-on-one ministry. I am convinced many will never be the same because Nancy generously took time to touch lives in this way. I appreciated Nancy's team spirit. She was cheerful, cooperative with our time frames, encouraging to others on the ministry team, so easy to work with, and such a delightful person to be around!

- Jodi Detrick,
District Director of Women's Ministries,
Northwest District, Assemblies of God

• "All the women were enriched in so many ways by your transparency, authenticity and words of truth. It is a breath of fresh air to hear a message that tells us we are beautiful because we are HIS! You helped us all to block out the lies of the world and refocus our eyes and hearts on God's love and absolute adoration for us. Eight women prayed to receive Christ and countless others were moved to a deeper and more powerful walk trusting in Him alone for their identities. Your message is so important. You give it with great humor, sensitivity and love. Words cannot express how much we appreciate the time you invested in the lives of our women." - |

-Danna Demetre,
Women of Purpose

• "Your energy and grace are contagious! You blessed our socks off with your honesty and deep faith in God! You may have come to us a beautiful actress, but you left us knowing your heart for God and His calling on your life. Thank you for being a total blessing! You are fantastic!

- Michelle Cavinder,
Dir. Women's Ministries, Crystal Cathedral

• "I wish you could hear all the reports from the husbands (of the women at the conference). God really touched some deep needs through you, the women can't stop talking about it! Thank you so much for all the love you gave me and the women at PBC. I felt like I was spending time with Jesus as you were so Christ-like and stimulated me to be more like Him. I felt like I made a great friend and the only thing I would change about the weekend would be to keep you longer. =) I want you to know that as you stand before the Lord, I will be applauding you along with 224 other women from PBC for the way you directed me to walk closer to Him. You are awesome and thank you so much for all you gave."

- Laura Whitson,
Dir. Women's Ministries,
Ponderosa Basin Chapel, CA

• "What a privilege it was to have Nancy Stafford as a speaker at the Annual World Missions Reunion. Her message was inspiring and powerful! Its depth and timeliness went straight into people's hearts and crossed any gender, age or denominational barriers."

- Helen Todd,
Vice-president, World Missions Alliance

Nancy Says:

I use a lot of humor in my testimony.

Gospel Presentation?

Yes, the gospel is clearly presented, and I always ask the sponsor if they'd like for me to extend an invitation at the end....most sponsors (97%) are happy to have me do that. I do discuss with them how they'd like for me to do it, so that I am sensitive about their 'style'....I am booked to do many outreach events, so I have done everything from simply explaining how we enter into relationship with Jesus, then inviting them to pray a prayer that I lead them in - without indicating to me that they wish to receive Christ.... to asking for them to raise their hands or even come forward to accept Christ or rededicate themselves to Him....the manner I present it all depends on the venue and comfort level of the sponsor....but I ALWAYS present a clear gospel and opportunity to respond.

Why Nancy Speaks:
I know how much God has transformed my own life and how He has used the words of others to spur me on. I so want Him to use me in that same way; to help lead others into wholeness and a closer relationship with Him

Nancy's Goal:

I pray that the Holy Spirit will move freely to heal old wounds and faulty mindsets, set those in my audience free from all that entangles and hinders them. I hope to encourage and empower my audience to live in the fullness of their true identity in Christ and to move them into deeper intimacy with God.
