FROM MINISTRY LEADERS

“Barbara Marshall is the speaker to have if you want your audience to leave fired up about whatever topic she has been assigned. She speaks in many venues in our church—adults, youth, banquets, women’s groups—and is scheduled to preach in the morning service on Mother’s Day. She is an enthusiastic, down-to-earth speaker and always true to the Word; a real asset to our church body.”
~ Dr. Dennis Beatty, Senior Pastor
First Baptist Church, Ukiah, CA

“Barbara Marshall is a ‘Must Have’ for your next Retreat, Seminar, or Ministry Event. Her testimony is spell-binding and her personality electric! She is saucy, energetic and candid. Addressing real life problems with real life answers she brings hope, humor, and encouragement into the lives of everyone.”
~ Evangelist and TV Host, Tracey Mitchell

“It was a privilege to have Barbara as a guest on our TV show, ‘How to Beat the Odds’. Beautiful inside and out, she is captivating when she speaks and a wonderful storyteller. The Bible comes alive as she teaches God’s Word, bringing hope and encouragement to hurting people.”
~ Evangelist and TV Host, Tommy Thomas

"Barbara Marshall was our guest speaker for two weekends of the 2011 Christian Women's Retreat at Leoni Meadows Retreat Center. Our attendees loved her energy and enthusiasm and appreciated her willingness to be vulnerable by sharing the ups and downs of her life story. The women felt a connection with Barbara's story, and we were blessed by her insights from a biblical perspective. Barbara has a gift of showing how the stories of Scripture are pertinent to the life we live today.

Friendly, vivacious, caring -- whether she was speaking from the platform or sharing a meal in the dining hall, Barbara reached the hearts of her listeners. It was such a blessing to sit at Jesus' feet as Barbara shared His Word with us."
~ Audie Silber, President, Christian Women's Retreat

Barbara T. Marshall was invited to be the keynote speaker for our 2010 North Coast Baptist Association Women’s Conference. We could not have been more pleased!
Barbara kept us delightfully entertained while using Biblical truths to encourage us to be better followers of Christ. She was doctrinally “spot on” and her explanation of our personality types gave insight into how we can relate to others by knowing ourselves.
Her testimony touched the hearts of all in attendance and gave hope to those struggling with challenges in their own lives. She is a light in the darkness of doubt and fear. We would encourage any group looking for a speaker that has passion, charisma and a love affair with Jesus Christ to call on Barbara.
~ Sandy Dunker, Rio Dell Baptist Church
NCBA Women’s Conference Coordinator

"The Omaha women's outreach would like to thank you for taking the time and expense to speak at our January 18th dinner meeting.

~ Allison Ryan, Vice Chair

“Barbara first gave her testimony for our Celebrate Recovery Program back in 2000. Since then, I have invited her to speak at least 10 times over the years. Each time she shares, I've witnessed hearts being changed. She has a true gift of expressing her insight while sharing biblical truths and her own experiences. She engages the audience with passion and has directly impacted many who have heard her. Barbara's love for God and for people is evident. We encourage any group seeking a motivational speaker to contact Barbara!"
~ Janice Obee, Celebrate Recovery Team

I was at the Christian Women's Retreat at Leoni Meadows the first weekend and really enjoyed your insights and message. I see God working miracles and changing my husband's heart, as well as mine, to open our hearts to each other and be willing to fall in love again. 
~ Suzanne T., Retreat Attendee

Hearing Barbara speak, it is evident she has become God’s lightning rod allowing Him to do His work through her. Her presentation on “Spiritual Gifts” is eye opening, inspirational, and biblically-based, and I would recommend her to any group with the heart to hear God’s Word.

I want to thank you for everything today. You are such an incredible woman and an inspiration. In fact, you inspired me to call a dear friend of mine has been having some difficult times in her life recently and has felt very lost and alone. I was able to minister to her in a fresh new way, encouraging her to find strength to begin believing, healing, and overcoming obstacles that keep her down trodden. Praise God and may he continue to bless you, your family and your ministry to all those who hunger for the word of God and fellowship with others.
