Hey Friends 🙂

I’m home! I’m home!

Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement! God is so faithful and the trip/filming/Turkey adventure was amazing!

In the days to come, I’d love to share how God showed up BIG TIME! I was healthy, the weather was perfect, we were able to make it through all 7 full teachings, plus 7 intros/closings, the crew was awesome, the equipment worked perfectly, no traveling delays, etc..

I could literally sense the prayers and the Presence of God the entire time!

For today, I’m going to just leave you with a few pictures. My head is quite foggy (this jet lag is intense!) – but I couldn’t wait to say THANK YOU for your prayers from the very bottom of my heart!

Here’s a very brief, random photo recap…..

Pic below – Traveling with crew on the site of Ancient Hierapolis (Best. Crew. Ever. – I never heard anyone complain during our 8 days together. Not once)

Pic below – standing atop the ruins of Colosse

Pic below – standing on the Syrian Road in Ancient Laodicea. Crew trying to keep me “cool” in between takes. The sun was HOT! 🙂

Only God could orchestrate something like this Red Hot Faith adventure! Thank you so very much for praying down the tracks! I am at a loss for words!

With much love and gratitude ~

Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions.

"As women's ministry leaders know, finding a speaker who is Right AND Relevant is quite a task.

God led us to Cindy last spring as a speaker for our fall retreat at Mackinac Island. Even then, I did not realize what a gifted messenger she would be.

With almost 70 women present, Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions. She did not shrink back from telling her testimony, as difficult as it must have been. And she opened the book of Revelation to our ladies with insight and application like few women I have ever heard.

Thank you, Cindy for marking this retreat as a milestone in women's ministries at Woodside Bible Church. Praying we will never be the same."

Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious…

"You will find no one more highly motivated to see lives changed by God’s love and grace than Cindy. Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious and many women have testified that she has ministered to them from the message she delivered.

Cindy’s personal testimony has been one of transformation for God’s Glory. She continues be used by God through her testimony for the many women who have had similar life circumstances and for others who can see what God can do!"

Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event.

"Cindy came to Texas and lead three sessions during our overnight Fall Women’s Retreat. Each Biblically based session was well thought out and touched each of us as she dove into finding balance in our unbalanced world. She made sure to tailor the message to our audience of multi-generational women in all stages and phases of life. However, it was in the ‘down time’ that Cindy deeply connected to several of the ladies who were so moved by her messages that they later were able to share private tears together. It was lovely to see God’s hand of healing being brought to the ladies of our church through Cindy’s powerful words and gentle spirit. Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event. Cindy will be a great addition to your event/retreat too."
