"This was my first time attending a program. I thoroughly enjoyed the
speaker!
Even though Ms. Pointer spoke lightheartedly and up beat... Her message will
remain with me and I will not ever take for granted that I will see a
family
member again when they walk out of the door.
I hope that you can have her return. Her message needs to be heard over
and
over and over again."

General Comments
It's news too great to keep!
I had the great pleasure of witnessing Sister Yvonne Pointer share her
testimony at a conference in 2005. I was confident that her testimony was a
small part of a more full ministry. That was a great under-estimation. Her
message touched my heart however, it was her passion that presented a light of
hope and confidence in my spirit. I know that her ministry has broken chains
of depression, defeat, and abuse. It has also linked chains of love, hope, and
confidence. After hearing her message, I recognized Sister Pointer to be
"a servant doing the will of God from her heart". Despite all she
had endured, she did not give up or give in. She continued in "going from
good service to great service". Therefore, I believed God for her
accepting my invitation to be the guest speaker for our Women's Day Worship
service.
The rest of this story became history..."The day our lives were touched
by an angel, blessed by her testimony and, received healing with the word of
God". That day was Sunday, September 24, 2006 at New Canaan Baptist
Church, in Detroit, MI. Rev. Sylvester Sartin, Jr., is our Pastor and, Sister
Yvonne Pointer was our, Guest Minister of Service/Speaker.
We love Sister Pointer and she shall remain in our hearts & prayers.
"One of the most prolific
speakers of today. To hear her is an awesome experience you will never forget.
Yvonne will cause you to laugh, cry and think. She challenges you not to settle
--- for whether its with your job finances, relationships --- for anything negative
in your life. She truly lives and teaches "as long " as there's life there's
hope".
"Whether she is speaking
to a small community group an influential religious organization, or thousands
gathered at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. I have personally
witnessed the powerful message of Yvonne Pointer. Her motivational
message of self-empowerment is always tremendously well-received, and her
delivery of this important message can turn any venue into a spirit-filled,
possibility-filled, building of healing. She is amazing"

"People from all aspects
of life can take something positive from her message, and if they really want to
make a difference or change in their life. They can nurture and grow from it.
Over 60 summer camp staff were motivated and given a deeper sense of importance
not only of their job, but of self".

Dear Yvonne:
"Thank you so very
much for bringing your blessed message to Youngstown. You planted a seed of hope
on Monday night. I want you to have faith, the seed will grow. I applaud
you for ignoring what "they say" . They are the nameless, faceless
cowards. You will never follow, you will lead with God blessing. Carry the Lord's
message with you: I will bless thee who are like you. I will curse those who
curse you. With all my love and support. Best wishes".
George M. McKelvey
mayor of Youngstown, Ohio
"Thank you for sharing your
time talent and positive message with the Healthy Lifestyles Inside and Out girls
and their parents. Your message touched the hearts of so many. Truly you are a gift
from
God".

conviction and charity. Her life has been a beacon of hope for so many who were
lost in the darkness of despair. Yvonne represents a shining example of the

positive thinking"
