Hear what people are saying about Deanna Allen:
Deanna Allen is one of the most energetic, passionate and confident speakers that I have ever had the privilege to witness. Her passion for the Lord and sharing of her life story is both astounding and contagious. Whenever I have sat in a setting to listen to her speak - I have never met anyone that didn't leave feeling encouraged and filled by the Holy Spirit. Deanna is definitely used by God whenever she speaks in groups. It is obvious that her heart is open to Gods leading and she puts her whole heart into what she is saying. Deanna is both a motivator for people and also an example of what God can do through a person when they are under His will. As someone whom feels the call to one day become a writer and a speaker - I personally hope to establish the obedience and the overflowing joy she has in her heart. - Michelle Melton
I first met Deanna while we were both servant leaders in a Christ-centered recovery ministry. Deanna is an enthusiastic and transparent speaker who captivates her audience with her vibrant personality and her life-changing message of redemption and restoration. She is an outstanding communicator who openly and honestly shares her story of how God's Spirit enabled her to overcome a dysfunctional past while building her future based on His truth. I wholeheartedly endorse Deanna as a speaker at your retreat, conference or special occasion. - Marc Stormont, Colonel, Retired, United States Air Force
Ms. Allen had a very strong impact on me and on the offenders at the prison where she ministered. Many commented about significant healing that came as a result of her seminar. A large number of the offenders have continually asked me when she is coming back to minister. Deanna is a woman of God and shares experiences that would be lifechanging for anyone. She is empowered by the Holy Spirit and exceptionally able to discern what the needs are in her congregation. We are excited about having her come back to the prison and are blessed to have her scheduled at least two times in the coming year. - Sharon Fisher, Chaplian, Missouri Women's Prison
Deanna Allen is a woman of integrity; she says what she means and means what she says. There is no read between the lines when you hear her speaking the truth. She has a passion for life, a love for the Lord and deep understanding for the Word of God. She knows who she is in the Lord and isn't afraid to claim it. She is real and open about all areas of her life. If you spend any amount of time with her you will know that she doesn't pretend to be perfect but you can see her becoming perfected by her Heavenly Father. You will find as a speaker, that she is dynamic and enthusiastic. She has away of bringing the message to life and making you feel like you are the only one in the room and that she is speaking directly to you. You can tell by the power and authority of her messages that she is Holy Spirit directed. People respond to her teachings with amazement, they are surprised at her ability to teach the truth with all her heart, sharing what she knows and allowing all to walk through her experiences as she teaches. If you are looking for a speaker, she is one who will not disappoint; she will leave you with a greater understanding and love for the truth. Her greatest weakness has truly become her greatest strength, as she is able to take her own testimony of recovery and weave it into a teaching as well as minsitry that are changing lives all around her. She has her Father's eyes and she can see what many over look. She has the ability to see the diamond in the rough in all of us and because of that her teachings are absolutely life changing. Once you hear her speak you can't help but think to yourself, if God can change her life then just maybe he can change mine! - Pastor Cristina Nole, The Way of Life Ministries
