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,
Gael Dahse

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 Stiles came to speak at
our annual ladies retreat. I did not know much about her or her
ministry. Only that she ministers in prisons. As Sandy started to
share the message of God’s redemption in her life, I was undone. It
was a story of how God had taken a life that was a mess and was
using it to bring Him glory. Reminding the women that we are all on
a level playing field no matter what kind of “sins” we had
committed. To those who had always been the “good, church girls” to
those of us who have strayed far, she reminded each of us that
“Jesus had to die for you.” She challenged us in our relationships
with God and others. She was not only open and honest but so willing
to share out of her bad choices and heartaches so others could be
pointed to her King. Jesus Christ is the way, our ONLY way! Christ
in her, the hope of glory- Christ in me the hope of glory- the only
hope!
Sandy was transparent and without pretense. She allowed the Holy
Spirit to lead at every turn. Hundreds of women where blessed by the
way she modeled “total abandonment for her King” She is living for
him and shining brightly to a lost and hurting world. The women of
our church are begging for her to come again next year.
Any church or women’s group would be SO blessed to have her speak.
She shares from a heart overflowing with God’s grace and a love for
others.

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,

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.
