Letter from Conferee -- PWOC Germany - "Mrs. Linda -- I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I appreciate you, your ministry, and the words you spoke this week. I feel like I know you...and I suppose that must be weird for a speaker to have so many people who feel so close to you. I am writing you because I always try to let people know when I am touched by knowing them. I love your spirit. I enjoy your humor...appreciate your insight...I'm inspired by your stories. Thank you. I thank the Lord for using you to touch other people. Your message -- was anointed. How desperately we all need to be reminded about the Joy of the Lord! I am holding onto the message that I can trust in God and He loves me. Thank you for sharing your live of the Lord, and your life. I am blessed and refreshed." - Sheila

Brawna Henderson; Pinecrest Community Church, Parker, CO - "I hope you enjoyed your time with the women of Pinecrest Community Church as much as we all enjoyed you! We were so blessed by your stories of wisdom and inspiration. We have received very positive feedback about you as our speaker, and I wanted you to know just how much we appreciated your willingness to step in and spend your time with us. I know that God had you specifically in mind to share with us, and I am so happy that He worked it our for you to join us in Vail. It was such an uplifting and relaxed environment for everyone, and I am grateful for your contribution in making our retreat a wonderful one. Several of the women expressed their heartfelt enthusiasm about your messages and how much they looked forward to hearing from you with each new session. You have such a welcoming warmth about you, and it was amazing how quickly you were able to draw everyone in with you as you spoke. You have just the right balance of humor and heartache within your messages, and we just couldn’t contain ourselves from laughing and crying right along with you. Many of the women remarked at how they felt as though you were wholly there as a part of our group from the moment you walked into the room. I certainly hope that you experienced that same sense of belonging. Thank you for your commitment to serving God fully, for your willingness to share so much of yourself with us, and for three incredible messages that were able to touch each of us in a unique and powerful way! May God bless you and your family in abundance as you continue to seek and serve Him. I look forward to the time when our paths cross again and we are able to share more stories about all that He has done in our lives."

"Linda is one of our favorite PWOC speakers." - PWOC Europe Conferee; Germany 2003

"The overwhelming response on the evaluation forms was that everyone just loved the keynote speaker. You touched people by making them laugh and cry at the same time. I've had women come and tell me this is the best ever women's retreat they've been to at our church. Thank you. And thank you for your words that also encouraged me." - Margie Schoepp, Women's Retreat Chairperson, Saint John Lutheran Church, Seward, Nebraska

"You were hilarious!  I needed to laugh like that!"  - Red Bank Baptist Church, Chattanoga

Donna Knip; Bible League national Retreal Coordinator...

As the Retreat Coordinator for the Bible League, I would highly recommend Linda Evans Shepherd. She is a wonderful person as well as a great speaker. She is very easy to work with and accommodating. She wound our theme through all of her talks. We didn't ask her to speak on a specific topic, we just told her what our theme was and she took it from there! We have four retreats across the United States and so far we have had her speak at three of them in three different years. Each year the theme was different and she incorporated it in her talks. Depending on the retreat, she spoke either 3 or 4 times. Linda has a great sense of humor and was also able to challenge each of us.

I can also tell you that if you spend much time at all with her at the retreat, you will end up with a new friend. Obviously, I am very impressed with Linda and highly recommend her.

Here are some notes from  recent conferees who attended a retreat in California. 

"The most amazing things have been happening to me since the conference in Buellton last weekend.  The greatest of all is that I am still filled with the Holy Spirit very much like I was during the weekend. My self confidence has exploded and I feel like a whole, complete woman, with poise, confidence, grace, patience, verve (my favorite word) and a zest for life. Your talk was so very profound. You combine, a realness, spirituality, humor, with grace, dignity and love.

"Everyone enjoyed themselves so much.  I personally enjoyed seeing the women feel they had the freedom and open door to sit and talk with you.  Thank you for your openness to talk to them and for a wonderful weekend.  God was really at work!  We want to have you back!
Linda Duval, Director of Women's Retreat, Bible Fellowship Church, Ventura, CA

Linda Duval also added:  You were very down to earth.  It was easy for women to relate to you.  You reached women from all walks of life--Christians, non-Christians, young and old.  You showed us that no matter what our circumstances, with God's help, guidance and love, we will make it when we  walk with our eyes and hearts focused on Him.

Your presentation was EXCELLENT.  I especially enjoyed your personal examples of overcoming difficulties and struggles.  I can't thank you enough for being a part of our very special weekend.  God's presence was felt throughout every part of the retreat.  We received so many wonderful compliments!  God made our weekend something beautiful. 
De Ann also says, "I highly recommend Linda as a speaker.  Do you want her phone number, I'll get it for you."

Christy Sassman, Ladies Retreat Coordinator, First Baptist Church of Universal City, San Antonio, TX:

Dear Linda:
After reviewing the evaluation forms, the only advice I have for you is to do it exactly the same way as before!  The comments were wonderful.  The only negatives were things like, "give her more time" and "we wanted to hear her more times".  The comments ranged from "inspirational" to "she reached me right where I was" to she was just like me:  we both have real life things happen.  But God loves us."  Thank you Linda for coming and sharing so much of yourself with our ladies.

Dianne E. Butts, Christian Freelance Writer - "Linda proves the adage true--those who endure deep wounds gain great compassion and profound insights. Linda doesn't speak from theories; Linda knows from her own hurts. Whether the topic is grief, marriage, prayer, or learning to move with God, Linda has a lovely knack of handling serious issues with humor."

Author/Speaker S andy Austin says, "You are amazing Linda! You must be the most incredible woman in America! Is one of your spiritual gifts exhortation (or encouragement)? You have so many ministries that encourage and uplift sooooooooo many people! I pray that the Lord would pour back to you a hundredfold for all you do to take care of the body of Christ...let alone all the others you reach through your ministries! It's truly a privilege to know you! Thanks for blessing my life!"

Boulder, CO Group - "Your presentation was really meaningful tome. I've struggled to lay down, release, surrender - something for 13 years. When you led us in prayer, I dropped it into God's big pocket. I can do that as many times as necessary.

Sheila Tolbert of Grace Community Church of Greenville, SC says, "The ladies are still giving you rave reviews. We would like to have you come for an event at the church in November!"
