Princess Warriors for      Christ... Reigning Real 

"I knew Carol back "in the day"......1987. Looking for a speaker for a retreat, I saw her face on a website, and thought to myself, "it can't be her." I emailed her and lo and behold it was her, but a much different "her" to say the least!

I asked her to speak at our womens' retreat which was comprised of primarily recovering women and new believers. What an annointed speaker and a sensitive woman. Carol speaks with grace, sensitivity, and humor. She has a heart for women, especially those whose path hasn't been smooth. She has discernment and understanding and she speaks to them in language that they "get." To see these women who have suffered so much indignity and pain in their lives begin to see that they are "princess warriors," to see them begin to understand their true identity in Christ is such an incredible blessing. Carol "reigns real" for sure!!!

Thankyou so much, Carol, for listening to God's call on your life, may He bless you richly!!!

In Christ........Janet"

 “Carol has such a heart for others, especially women. Her love of Jesus is evident in all she does. Her example of how she has turned her life around and over to God is a "bright shining light" for all to see.  The ladies were very touched by her speaking style; her ability to make Jesus real to them; was not ashamed of her past due to the cleansing/changes Jesus has made in her life; gave them practical information to help others and to have a closer relationship themselves with Christ.

I personally have been very impressed with how organized she is in her style of speaking and presenting a talk. She is very real in her talks; has a clear opening, something to chew on and a good closing...keeps your attention so well that you are surprised that it has ended. If you are looking for an excellent speaker, I highly recommend Carol.”

 “I had the privilege of contacting Carol and asking her to be our guest speaker for our recent retreat. From my first e-mail contact, Carol responded quickly and continued to do so during the months of preparation for our retreat. She went out of her way traveling approximately 100 miles to come to our church to teach a Sunday School class three months before our retreat. Her desire was to minister, serve and get to know our ladies. She did that and more.

All who attended our retreat were blessed. Carol is a delightful woman of God who speaks the truth in love using humor and seriousness. Carol’s transparent honesty and compassion allowed us to take a look at ourselves. Many ladies were healed and set free. I would highly recommend Carol to speak at your next retreat or ladies’ event."

“We truly were blessed to have you as our retreat speaker, Carol! At our monthly ladies’ meeting held last Sunday night, ladies shared testimonies of what the Holy Spirit did in their lives at the retreat (and what He continues to do). Your ministry was powerful because the Word of God that you shared has resulted in freedom from addictions, deliverance from depression, exposed lies, release of joy and purpose, realigned priorities, and deeper relationship with the Lord for all of the women. Two ladies gave their lives to Jesus and several others were filled with the Holy Spirit! We are so thankful that you allow the Lord to speak truth through you! You should see how different some of the women are now!

Here we are four weeks later and they continue to seek after the Lord and grow. Because you are willing yourself to be transparent and humble, women are freed up to confess their struggles and weaknesses. Then because the teaching of the Word is practical, women can apply it to their lives. The proof is in the results we now see! God bless you, Carol, for speaking on topics that many other speakers do not cover. Your humor and warmth make people feel comfortable and ready to receive what you have to share. We loved how you were a participant at our retreat as well as our speaker. Jesus was lifted up and His name glorified the entire weekend!"

 “Carol's engaging and entertaining style is delightful. I really appreciated how boldly she promoted our cause. Our event was the most successful yet!"

“What is so unique about Carol is she's real. No pretense, no facade; what you see is what you get--and that's a rare thing to find now days. When Carol speaks her love and enthusiasm for the Lord is evident and she draws everyone listening into her world. I count it a blessing to know Carol and consider her a real woman of integrity.”

Mike Dellosso
Author and Speaker

“Carol is an experienced and highly inspirational communicator. She makes her crowd feel at ease, as they are drawn into her message of hope. God is using Carol’s speaking abilities to touch lives for His Kingdom glory.”

Founder and Executive Director, Bethany House, Inc.

“Carol Van Atta was our retreat speaker this fall. Our group thoroughly enjoyed her in-depth presentation on godly friendship, which was well researched and provided extremely interesting and thought provoking truths for us to consider. Her message was applicable to daily life and motivated many of our ladies to explore their own relationships and the false masks they had worn to keep others from truly knowing them.

After the retreat, I had women approach me to share just how deeply they were impacted by the retreat. Considering at times, we have to ask for feedback, this was a huge indicator that God used Carol’s transparency and uplifting message in a mighty way. I would highly recommend Carol as a qualified and ‘real’ speaker for your next event.”

“I so enjoyed having Carol Van Atta be our speaker at our women's retreat this year. She didn't come at the group as someone who was there to "fix" us. She joined us as a sister in Christ and shared her experiences with us. Those experiences were relatable to everyone and her observations were bible-based. She obviously has a close, real relationship wtih Jesus and she let us peek into her life enough to experience it for ourselves if we hadn't already on our own. Carol came in as our speaker and left as my friend.”

 “Trying to coordinate/encourage women to grow closer to the Lord; grow together and step out in faith to trust one another can be a difficult task. The Lord can do anything though and I feel he is using Carol Van Atta, as a woman and teacher, to reach out and touch other ladies. Carol is a powerful speaker who tackles friendship and womanly issues that pertain to all with Jesus leading her. Carol has poise and love, coupled with her witty sense of humor to make her teaching a powerful tool for the Lord. I see Carol as a willing vessel for the Lord to work though. God has given Carol a wonderful testimony that he can use to establish and further His kingdom. I know Carol is and will be used to promote healing and unity in the body of Christ."
