"Everyone
on the committee agreed that you have been one of the most widely received,
and re-received speakers that we have ever had. So, I know the Lord
will honor that and you will be back a third time." (He did!)
----- Kathy Gonzalez, California
"Miz
Maudie is a unique creation of Kathryn Martin's whereby she entertains,
educates, indoctrinates and enlightens people with an unusual blend
of the holy and humorous in good taste without cheapening her ministry
or compromising her message." ----- Rev. Doyle C. Smith, Georgia
"Kathryn
Martin makes people aware in everyday problems, God cares! Helps people
see themselves in the light of the Word. Makes you laugh, makes you
cry, as she wins audiences across the nation. Is an inspiration and
winner of souls." ----- Zylphia R. Dickerson, Indiana
"Surely
God has placed you in a ministry with unique abilities to help meet
hurting people. You are a trophy of God's grace, to have resurfaced
from a disabling past with a positive attitude, a joyful spirit, and
a keen insight, all flavored with the love of God... Miz Maudie has
a disarming way of catching people off guard and bringing an awakening
of truths that, for many, have been dusty and dormant." ----- Carol
Pounds, Missouri
"It
is a marvelous gift that God has given you--laughter and love are necessary
requisites in keeping one's sanity in today's world. Thank you for sharing
your gift with us at the women's luncheon for the International Evangelism
Conference." ----- Lillian Johnston, Texas
Comments from
Retreat Attendees:
"Kathryn
was so easy to listen to. Made me feel she was visiting in my home talking
to me as a friend." ----- New Hampshire
"You
seem to have a gift for understanding just what we're feeling. Thank
you for sincerely caring." ----- North Carolina
"She
was the first speaker I ever saw spend so much time with the people
when we weren't in session. She even ate with us. I saw lots of ladies
(myself included) go talk to her that never approached a speaker before."
----- Alabama
"I
came to retreat feeling hopeless and defeated, but after hearing Kathryn
I took new courage and my life hasn't been the same since. I could hardly
wait to tell her that when she came the second time." ----- California
"You
can ask my wife, I never stood in line to meet any speaker before,
but you touched my life so, I've been inching along in this line over
45 minutes to get to you! (Two years later at same retreat [Schroon
Lake, NY] Kathryn recognized this couple at the end of the line. The
husband said, "We knew how it'd be - so we went to our room, had
a snack, watched a little TV and came back!") ----- New York
