"I have known Crystal Wetherholt for several years. She has been a member of our home school group and a good friend. From the beginning, I knew Crystal was a woman of great character. This was revealed to me in the way she treated others and the way she is raising her children. Crystal and I have also participated in a Bible study together. Her wisdom and insight was always evident in her comments during the study. I have always known that Crystal is a woman who has a close relationship with the Lord. It is obvious that she is following His leading.

Crystal has spoken to our home school group twice in the past two years. She is a wonderful public speaker. She has a gift for speaking and a passion for her subject matter. She is down to earth and really speaks from the heart. Her most recent talk was on raising children with godly character. What made this speech so wonderful was that you can see that she is really doing this in her own home. It’s one thing to just speak on a topic that you’ve read out of a book, but it’s another to really be living it.

I would strongly recommend Crystal Wetherholt as a public speaker for any event."

"Crystal and I have been friends a little over a year now and I have had the delight of hearing her speak to our women’s group at church. Crystal is a very genuine and authentic person. She speaks from her heart and these qualities shine whether she is speaking in front of a group or with a few friends. Crystal loves to talk about what she is passionate about – her relationship with Jesus Christ and how he has worked in her life. She has a very gentle, sweet spirit yet is very confidant and brave. She commits everything she does to the Lord and trusts in Him. She does not judge others but relates to them and shows them love and understanding. Crystal is a very humble and patient person and is always looking for the good in everyone. She lives her life with peace and joy in her heart no matter what her circumstances are. She has sacrificed much to home-school her kids and has taken her responsibility as a parent very seriously making sure to teach her kids about character and how to serve others. I feel very privileged to be called her friend."

"I am writing to express my support for Crystal Wetherholt as a strong Christian woman who models biblical love and leadership to her children and her community.

As the Effingham MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers group) Coordinator and Mentor for the last three years, I have had the privilege of seeing Crystal serve, with her children, in the nursery ministry for our local MOPS chapter. This involved mothers of preschoolers placing their young children in nursery rooms (staffed by dedicated volunteers) while the mothers participate in Christian teaching/sharing, group discussion time. Crystal and her children have been a wonderful asset to our ministry to mothers, by faithfully nurturing the toddlers and preschool age children who attend each month.

I have observed Crystal's devotion to her own children by home schooling them and by investing in their knowledge and understanding of the Bible. In a world swayed by so many negative influences it is refreshing and inspiring to see her confident leading of their learning and application of Biblical principles."

"I have known Crystal for several years but have been blessed to be one of the women whom have had the honor of experiencing her mentoring ability. My life took a drastic turn when I came to her in pain. She took me under her spiritual wing and spent time and energy mentoring me and teaching me how to be the wife and mother God had created me to be. Because of her faith in me, and her willingness to invest time in my life, I'm now mentoring others in the same things. I'm so grateful for her obedience to God concerning working with women and teaching them to be true women of God. Not only does she teach it, she lives it!!! Her children are each examples of her ambition to teach women how to instill Godly character. They are great kids and are each spiritually wise beyond their years. Truly children whom have had Godly instruction lived in front of them. They mirror what they've been taught.

"Crystal is a loving and caring mother to her three children and has done an outstanding job of educating them, through home schooling. I have spent time and worked with the children during some of the functions that we worked together. They are the most respectful, intelligent, and they are so polite. In our present-day society, it is very rare to meet children who show such respect to our elders. They brought joy to our gatherings, but most of all hope for our future. Crystal has a gift for speaking and writing and a passion to help the youth. Her deepest desire is to keep them pure, chaste, and healthy."
