| It is with great pleasure that I recommend to you Vicki Taylor as a potential speaker. I have known Vicki for over 10 years and have been her pastor for over 2 years. Vicki is a very godly and talented women that happens to possess an angelic voice!
No one in the past several years has provided me with a more clear presentation of the Gospel and the love of Christ than Vicki through her life, ministry, song and story.
Ever since Vicki and her husband Don lost their youngest son, Jessie in a tragic accident, Vicki has been an incredible inspiration to me and hundreds of others. Vicki has been through the darkest valley and she has been on the highest mountain tops and her life experiences give her the ability to communicate the reality of God's love with power and clarity.
I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to hear and see first hand of the powerfully redemptive love of Jesus.
Vicki Taylor is a "can't miss" candidate for any speaking opportunity. |

| I lead our women's ministry at our church and we invited Vicki to do our spring retreat. Vicki led us in three sessions and did an excellent job. She was well prepared and was very honest and open as she taught and shared. Everyone could easily relate to her and enjoyed speaking with her after each session. She would do an excellent job speaking in any setting.

| I have known Vicki Taylor since 1992, as both friend and co-worker. Vicki speaks with confidence, humor, and passion for our Lord. She has experienced one of life's hardest blows--the death of a child--so she speaks with depth and passion about grief and God's healing power. People are powerfully affected by her speaking on a variety of topics. |
