Dawn's speaking topics come from her personal journey through life. She went through a fatherless childhood, became a mother at 17, survived a troubled first marriage and she has a prodigal son whom God continues to use to do His deep work in her heart. All these things have been used by God to work together for good in Dawn's life.

She knows who she is as a daughter of the Most High God and loves to share all that it means to have that personal relationship with her Abba Father. Dawn will testify to the pruning work that has been done in her life but that God has used to bring her to a closer walk with Him.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4

For many years, out of a desire to see women set free as she has been set free, Dawn has led and/or facilitated many Bible studies. Knowing first hand that freedom comes in getting to know who the Redeemer, Jesus Christ is.  Then to understand just who we are because of the redeeming work within us.  And finally learning to walk in the power and victory He has planned for us.

Below are topics that Dawn can address:

In spite of all the difficulties that have been part of who Dawn is, she loves life and is filled with the joy of the Lord!

Dawn's family includes her husband of 21-years, Jerry. In many ways they are opposites and God has used him to help her to become wise in many common sense ways. On the other hand, she has helped him to lighten up a bit. Between the two they make a substantial union. Jerry is a marvelous woodworker who has done a fabulous job making heirloom furniture for their home which was built by their own hands. His website is here.

They have three grown children and six grandsons. Their children in order are: oldest son Orion and his wife Barb; daughter Becky and her husband and three boys, David, Zachary, Joshua and Jonathan; and youngest son James and his three boys Reece and Brady, and Davin.


Naturally those who love pets know that it is best not forget to mention that the family has a cat and they inherited Jerry's father's sheltie.
