"I was extremely pleased with her tender heart and her deliverance of a touching message. My audience of 300 women enjoyed her presentation, too. It was an outreach event and five women gave their hearts to the Lord when she ended her message. She presented the plan of salvation eloquently."
"We had the privilege of hosting Danae Dobson as our women's conference speaker at our church. She did an outstanding job and was well received by the women in our community. Danae is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and has a heart for people to know the Lord. She is able to communicate to women of all ages in a winsome way."
"Her affable style, witty comments, articulate delivery and clear Christian content endeared her to those attending a South Florida Mother’s Day brunch at which she was the key note speaker...She is as authentic in person as she is on the podium."
