Diana Williams
Brenda spoke at our Women’s Ministry Event, and she shared a relevant message on Identity in Christ, encouraging women and equipping them with God’s word. Heartfelt and compassionate, Brenda strengthens the body of Christ through her personal examples and interactions with the audience, which leads to introspection and reflection. Highly recommend her!
