About the Speaker

Wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, author, speaker, singer of songs and lover of chocolate, Kim Vogel Sawyer wears many hats--hats she dons cheerfully and willingly. Some hats, such as mom to a special-needs child and long-time sufferer of chronic pain, have been worn with frustration. Hats she's found the courage to discard are the coverings of fear and shame brought about by abuse and welfare reliance.

God's miraculous hand of healing in Kim's physical and emotional life is a source of inspiration which she would like to share. Kim's gentle yet forthright testimony, interspersed with humor, lends credence to the promise of Psalm 117:2--"...great is His love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever."

Join us as Kim brings encouragement to writers as they embark on their spiritual journey. You can visit her website at www.kimvogelsawyer.com.
