Choices for Women

Madison, Indiana

Those looking for a dynamic speaker will not be disappointed. Heather is a joy and delight. She stirs the heart and restores hope to those who have been disheartened by the challenges they have faced in life.... Heather was much less expensive than other speakers we had looked at, but the quality of her presentation was equal if not even better, so we considered ourselves blessed to have her at the rate she proposed.

Heather Gemmen is an excellent pro-life speaker. She is pleasant and personable. She connects well with any audience and she has a heart for the Lord. She is pleasant to work with as well.

Pregnancy Resource Center

Douglasville, Georgia

Heather's testimony appeals to all ages and socioeconomic groups and to men as well as women. She is a great speaker for pregnancy banquets because her testimony deals with so many issues we all face with our clients. She is someone we can all easily relate to, and her story of the restorative power of the Lord is so uplifting. It has a positive effect on all who hear her.

Thank you for partnering with us to raise awareness and support for Hope Pregnancy Ministries. We've had great responses from our follow-up calls. Our guests thought the program was great!

Community Christian Reformed Church of Roselawn

Roselawn, Indiana

Heather Gemmen Wilson was the featured speaker at our annual women's retreat. Our audience was approximately 400 women. Heather met all our expectations and more. She dynamically told her difficult story with taste and dignity. Her message was that God restored her hurt body and soul and redeemed her love for mankind whatever their color. The focus was on restoration rather than on the betrayals she experienced. Our committee would heartily recommend Heather as a speaker to any group open to hearing the restorative power of God.

We would highly recommend Heather to any PCC looking for a banquet speaker. Heather was willing to do anything to provide support and help us pout on the best event possible. She was open to suggestions and so very flexible. She truly is a blessing to work with and her testimony will make a life-changing impact on your guests.

Madison Park Church

Anderson, Indiana

Our church was blessed to hear the story of Heather Gemmen Wilson. Preach on deliverance and miracles, proclaim that God will heal all who believe, that He will make you rich, that God’s goal is to make us happy and you’ll fill a stadium. Yet Heather stood before two thousand people on a Sunday morning and shared a story of incredible pain and suffering and received a standing ovation. Her story struck a chord; it resonated with the hearts of those who heard it.

—Jeff Matas, Senior Associate Pastor

Harrisonburg Pregnancy Center

Harrisonburg, Virginia

Heather has a compelling and even a frightening story, yet her total confidence in God and his grace puts folks at ease and compels them to consider the gospel truth that 'all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purposes,' (Romans 8:28). We were very pleased with her presentation. The banquet grossed a new record in donations.

Your story was very powerful. Thank you for sharing with us. We had nearly 2000 people in attendance, and I'm sure each person could identify with your story in some way.

Colonial Hills Church

Southaven, Mississippi

We expected to hear a word of restoration and forgiveness. However, we received so much more. There was not one woman in attendance [at our women's retreat] that did not connect to Heather in one way or another. Her transparency and realness made us all feel as if we were sharing in a sister's burden and healing. Heather took as much time as needed to speak with each woman that needed to unload her burden as well. She truly felt like one of us, and we loved her as if she was.

—Kam Duncan, Women's Director

New Beginnings Church

Lee’s Summit, Missouri

Lawrence and Heather Wilson inspire people to face life's challenges and disappointments with God's grace and the support of others in the community of faith. Heather's story brings a tear to the eye and opens the spirit to God's wonderful purposes. Lawrence brings practical biblical application to real life experiences and stimulates our mind and our faith to new dimensions. Lawrence and Heather are also wonderful people who demonstrate authentic Christlike living.

Grand Rapids Pregnancy Resource Center

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Heather had only 30 minutes to share her amazing journey from rape to restoration. She did so with sensativity, openness, and humor that truly reflected the beauty that only God can bring from the ashes of our lives. Our only regret was that she didn't have more time.

—Vicki DeGrazier

I give thanks to God that the conference was a great success having ripple-out effects into the wider community. I have heard nothing but positive affirmation around your being with us and sharing—wow. Praises be to God! Many people have said that your story (and way of telling it) was the perfect entrance to our weekend. Thank you for your beauty, your vulnerability, your risk, courage, and taking up of the cross.
