“Your public speaking ability radiated your passion for Jesus. There was a true sense of comfort and peace as well as joy and truth.”

“Having Elysa speak for us has been such a blessing. She speaks with such a level and ease and comfort. It is like sitting across the kitchen table with your best girlfriend and a cup of coffee.
