"There is crowded world of those who want to speak, teach, or preach. There are very few who will capture the attention, spirit, and interest of an audience. It is even rarer for a listener to walk away deeply moved, truly inspired, and genuinely equipped to make an impact. Dr. Melisa Ortiz Berry is a Spirit-gifted speaker. I have seen it, experienced it, and now rave about it. Her deep knowledge of scripture, affirmed authority, and timely relevance is evidence of God's call and work in her life and ministry."
