“Christian author Karen Wingate is a gifted speaker, well versed in God’s Word, shares Scripture generously, and gives God all the glory. With humor and passion, Karen can adapt her presentation to meet individual group’s needs. I especially love how she incorporates cute little anecdotes from her pastor-husband, Jack, whom she calls Preacher Creature!”

Paula Domianus

“Karen Wingate has a beautiful story to share with women about her experience of gaining sight after a lifetime of legal blindness.  Our women shared the humor in her anecdotes, marveled at the miracle of sight Karen gained and were blessed as Karen humbly challenged them to see God with fresh eyes.  It was a blessing to have Karen share authentically from the heart with our women and a morning we will not forget.”

“We loved having Karen Wingate as our 2020 Women’s Retreat Speaker! She was easy to deal with prior to the event and had plenty of good ideas to make her talks fit in with our committee’s plan for the event.  Her talks were well-planned, Bible-centered and engaging, and accessible to all ages. Karen’s talks point to Christ and leave something practical for all her listeners to think about!”
