“Annette Miner has a great passion for working alongside children’s pastors and training them to minister to ALL children, not just the ‘easy’ ones. Her workshops are tremendously insightful and encouraging, with focuses on the practical needs of children’s ministry today. The knowledge and experience that she brings into each of her workshop sessions is unparallelled in my opinion and people walk away with renewed excitement, a sense of empowerment, and the knowledge that they can make a difference in the life of a child for all eternity. I know you will be blessed by her ministry! --

"Tina Hunter has been involved with the Pregnancy Centre as a resource to our clients who are dealing with relationship issues, self-harm, anger and parenting concerns. Tina always brings an insightful perspective with a dose of humor to go along with it.
Tina effectively shares out of her own personal experience as well as the training she has received over the years as a Social Service Worker, Trauma and Loss Consultant/Supervisor and her hands-on experience as a Foster Care Provider and mother.
Her willingness to make herself vulnerable and her strong Christian faith are key to the impact she makes on those who are hurting whether it be in a group setting or one-on-one."

"Pastor Bob ( as we know him) and Jo-Ann have a motto : Whatever you do, do it as for Jesus. That is the reason they put their hearts and their very best effort into everything they do. They know how to reach out to people in every walk of life. They can touch the lives of those who are depressed and mentally and/or physically challenged, the young and old. They listen with their hearts and take every issue /problem /request to God in prayer, knowing that He is the source for everything. We were truly blessed to have had them as pastors for too few years."

"We had Annette come in and do her presentation on ADHD and Effective Ministry to those affected by this condition. Annette was very clear and precise in her presentation and was well researched and very knowledgeable in what she was presenting. As a children's minister at a church, this is an area that we are dealing with more and more as time presses on. ADHD is something that has been dealt with in various different ways, most with no success. Annette gives you the tools and new ideas to help these children and in turn teach them in a classroom setting. We have incorporated some of the ideas that she presented and are seeing results with our children. We thoroughly enjoyed having Annette come and share with us and would have her back again in an instant. If you are looking for someone to enrich your knowledge about ADHD and how to teach children with this condition, I highly recommend booking Annette for a speaking engagement."

"Bob and J0-Ann were complete servants to our maternity home during their outreach here. We saw compassion, servant hood, and great leadership in them BOTH. They are very hard workers and lifted our arms as has NEVER been done since we accepted this position here at Fatherheart. They have great giftings among themselves that flow to all who encounter them. They are a great balance for others and themselves. They hold a deep love and passion for the Lord and shine his character daily in their choices and their lives. When they left, we had an empty spot here. It was not the same and we have missed them so. It is our desire that they find the will of God and follow where HE is leading. There are NO words to describe what they mean to us and what an experience it was working with them. They are so mature and seasoned as parents, Christians, and pastors. I give them an exemplary grade and would love to see them again and for sure work beside them in God's army!"
