 “Sandy Stiles is a breath of hope in a hopeless generation. She takes her audience to a place of seeing their value determined by how they value Christ not according to position or possessions. She encourages others that no matter how dark their past they can be forgiven and have a bright future. Through tears and laughter she brings restoration to the body of Christ. The women attending our women’s retreat will never be the same after experiencing her ministry."

Sandy spoke at the Women's Conference at our church last month. I would like to highly recommend her to you and to your church group. Sandy is a gifted speaker and Bible teacher. Her distinction to me is her passion for the Word of God and her heart for service to the cause of Christ.
At our conference she was not only one of our Keynote Speakers, but she also has an incredible music ministry and fabulous voice which set the tone and prepared hearts. In addition, she taught 2 break-out Bible studies on spiritual warfare which literally have been life-changing for many of the women. Her teaching is Spirit-led and your church will be truly blessed.
Sandy is a passionate believer in Christ and her passion is contagious! Her teaching and her inspiring testimony has indeed brought revival in the lives of the women at our church. Your church is in for a treat!
I would be pleased to tell anyone who is interested about Sandy and her wonderful ministry.

Sincerely,

Dearest Sandy!
Thanks SO much for taping your story with me on "Water through the Word" RADIO! You sounded very confident and very comfortable on the radio! LIKE A PRO! WOW! I'm serious! You were great! You will influence thousands, perhaps millions of people, by your powerful story.

The power of testimony reaches beyond all human comprehension... Glory to God! We will never actually see the impact, (that's the nature of radio), but we will KNOW that God's loving hand is upon everyone who will tune in to hear YOU! Thank you again for your lovely obedience to God's calling!!!
I will continue to pray that the Lord opens the doors for us to minister together.
You are precious to me in so many ways, Sandy. Thanks for sharing your life!
Blessings,
Erin


 

Sandy Stiles spoke at our Retreat. As an older Christian, both in physical and spiritual age, I remain in awe of all that God can and still does, teach me.
Though I am many years Sandy’s senior, I find her ability to teach all ages amazing! Her wisdom and her dedication to sharing God’s word knows no boundaries…not in age, culture nor in social standing…. The truth behind this fact is that God’s word is a “fits all sizes” kind of truth, and Sandy reflects this in her teaching.
Two teachings from this retreat that have taken root in my heart are these:
First is to never accept Second Hand Information…. While I have always believed this concept, and have taught it as well, Sandy’s presentation of this truth was new and fresh and indeed, it renewed my commitment to seeking and proving all scripture for myself; not to simply “accept” what someone says, no matter how important a person they are or how many credentials they may have hung in their office.
The second and perhaps the most important is this: I don’t have to buy into satan’s lies. I am in a spiritual battle, and according to scripture, my battle is NOT against flesh and blood, but instead, it is against the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and against the spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places….
(Ephesians 6:12)
Knowing this in my mind and applying it with my heart are two very different things….How many time have I read, studied and even taught this passage? Yes God in all of His wisdom, brought Sandy Stiles to this retreat to “teach” me the real truth about this battle and went on to teach “me” how to overcome it….
Sandy gave me the tools that I have so desperately needed in fighting this war….her method of journaling and claiming God’s promises against the lies that satan would have me believe, has truly changed my life for the better….
Thank you Sandy for your willingness to follow God’s call upon your life; and Thank You God, for continuing to teach this “older Christian” how to live Your Word…

I have known Sandy Stiles for more than 10 years. I know a lot of her testimony because I was a part of some of it. However, the first time I heard her speak to a group of ladies I was blown away by the impact she had on the audience. At that time it was only her personal testimony at a women’s retreat – it wasn’t an official engagement, she was simply sharing from her heart. The presence of the Holy Spirit was palpable and the audience was deeply moved. Afterwards, many women came up to her and told her that she was speaking straight to them and how it had deeply affected them. Over time, as God called her into teaching and speaking to women and teenage girls, her speaking style has only become more polished although the presence of the Holy Spirit has never waned. She has a personality and energy that speaks to all ages and all types of women. She always speaks from her heart and under God’s direction. Even knowing her as well as I do, I have never left one of her speaking engagements or classes without hearing God speak through her. Your church will not be disappointed by having Sandy as a speaker for a retreat, workshop or ladies’ event. In addition to her speaking proficiency, she has an incredible singing voice and is often able to use song as a part of her presentation. You will truly be blessed.

Sandy spoke at “The Search” Singles Conference, held at First Baptist Church, Artesia, New Mexico in November of 2005.
Sandy was engaging and exciting as she spoke to a co-ed group of singles and married couples, looking for answers in relationships. Sandy spoke with insight and knowledge concerning overcoming past problems and difficulties and building on Biblical principles.
I am so grateful for her realistic view and practical approach.
I recommend Sandy with enthusiasm to speak on a variety of subjects. There is no question, you will be blessed with God’s ministry through her.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am writing to tell you about an amazing experience I had at a recent conference I attended. I had the privilege of attending a workshop presented by Sandy Stiles. She spoke about how Christians are more than conquerors. What a live changing message she presented! It was clear that the Holy Spirit was speaking through her when she described how Christ had empowered her to overcome adversity and find victory in her walk with Him. Throughout her presentation, I felt the overwhelming power of the Holy Spirit leading her to share her testimony. Her life and ministry are an example of how Christ takes an ordinary life and turns it into something extraordinary.
Through her different presentations throughout the conference, Sandy had a way of making Christ’s message come alive. I felt an instant connection with her. Because of her amazing message and absolute love of Christ, I felt compelled to talk with her after the conference and promise to pray for her. She left a lasting impression on me and the other attendees of the conference.
I would recommend Sandy Stiles to any group who needs a true representative of Christ share His word. Her love is real, and her message is authentic. Everything about her says that she is committed to the cause of Christ. I am blessed to have met her, and I am privileged to recommend her to others. She is a witness for Christ, and she uses words when necessary!

In Christ’s love,
Tami Cavitt

Blessed Beyond Belief Ministries was blown away by the power of God in the life of Sandy Stiles. Her message was relevant and anointed. Her transparency and authenticity were like a breath of fresh air.

Our ministry is already praying about having her again at one of our retreats.

Now the Lord is that Spirit;

and where the Spirit of the Lord is,

there is liberty. But we all, with open face

beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,

are changed into the same image from

glory to glory, even as by the

Spirit of the Lord.

 

2 Corinthians 3:17-18
