"In all my years of ministry, this ranked as one of the best conferences I have ever attended. Janelle took us through the Bible from cover to cover to reveal God's design and plan for us as men and women and creatures designed for intimacy. It was unlike anything I had ever heard before!" - Pastor
"I left the conference freer, more whole and more full of joy. The greaest thing is the shame I've felt for years is lifted and gone. And, deep-seated fears have been removed!" - Woman from Colorado
"I'm 68 years old and this (conference) has been one of the greatest blessings of my life." - Conference Attendee
"In all my years of ministry, this ranked as one of the best conferences I have ever attended. I found myself thinking, 'I wish the entire church could be here to experience this.' Janelle took us through the Bible from cover to cover and laid a case for God's design and plan for us as male and female in a way that was unlike anything I had ever heard before in its comprehensiveness and approach. In holding up the truth, she clearly and deftly exposed the distortions and lies that our society (as well as the church) has bought into." - Pastor
"This conference changed my life." - 23 year old female "Knowing God's will regarding sex has lifted a tremendous burden from me. I wish everyone could have the opportunity to attend this." - 29 Year Old Male
"Do you know what this conference was? It was three days of pure worship in which every instant God Himself proclaimed, 'Here is My heart, dear children-you are My beloved.' You did a fabulous job of bringing to life what would usually be left to the black and white of a printed page. How much better this was to draw the wounded so directly into experiencing God's passion for them (us)!" - 40 Year Old Female
"This conference was amazing: the worship, the testimonies, and the speakers' genuine passion. I pray that you will take this show on the road; people everywhere need this!" - Conference Attendee For more information about Restoring the Glory, visit our webpage dedicated to this Conference.

Church Conference Testimonial
"I so enjoyed hearing you speak this weekend. It gave me such a new perspective. I feel closer to God and happier with myself as a woman. I am trying to let myself out of a cage I have had myself in for so many years. I have denied myself so much and have been my worst enemy for so long. But I know that God wants me to be free! Thank you so much. Your sharing gave me a big push in the right direction." - A Woman from Indiana

Product Testimonial
"I can't begin to tell you how informative and insightful your CD's are, and how much they have helped me. I was surprised at the level of genuine concern for the well being of your clients expressed during your lectures, and the sincere heart felt desire that you have for them to heal and do well in their relationships. Your level of compassion for the women you were speaking about touched me deeply. That you for your incredible work!" - A woman from California
Exodus International
"I was truly amazed at the blessing I received at this regional conference. Thank you Janelle for accepting the invitation to come. I believe that you are what made the difference for me. If I'd been a sponge, I couldn't have soaked up enough wisdom from you. I attend many conferences, and I can tell you that this was probably THE most wonderful, most memorable one I've ever been to. Thank you for exceeding my expectations. He has used you in ways you will probably never realize. One woman told me that she felt a connection this week-end that she had never felt before and was ministered to mightily as well. Thank you for your honesty and transparency, your ministry and your heart."
- A Woman from North Carolina
Parents' Retreats Testimonials
“My wife and I heard Janelle speak at a conference last year. It was a highlight of the conference for me. She clearly understands the issue of homosexual. She has a gift for communicating her understanding. I am reading her book. It is very helpful to me. While the book specifically targets women, as a father of a son with same-sex attraction, I think it is still very helpful. In fact, it is outstanding. I would recommend her conferences, resources and retreats." - A father of a son with same-sex attraction
