“I’ll leave it to others to talk about Karen’s love for God, heart for ministry, and genuine concern for people. What you really want to know when you hear someone in concert is…is it going to be any good? If you’re asking that about Karen, the answer is, of course! Not only does she possess a wonderful voice, Karen is talented on many levels, and her sense of humor guarantees a great time for everyone. She can sing…anything.

It doesn’t end there, either. After a concert, she will be as warm and personable as she appears on stage. In the 20 years I’ve known her, she has proven to be the same person, no matter the venue or the hairstyle. (Okay, I wasn’t supposed to write about her love of different hairstyles, but there it is.)” Rev. Timothy McDaniel, Faith Assembly of God, N. Ft. Myers, Florida
“Being a minister of music for over 25 years, I have observed the ministry of a number of Christian artists. Too many times I have been left wondering about the sincerity and motivation of the performer. With Karen, I have the unique perspective of working with her and observing her as the music pastor of the church she worships at, and I can tell you that Karen is the real deal. Beyond possessing an obvious natural God-given talent, Karen’s passion to touch people is genuine. She is one of those people that always makes you feel better after you have been around her.”
Mark Nicholson, Music Minister, Faith Assembly of God, N. Ft. Myers, Florida

” Karen not only has a beautiful voice, but her compassion and joy for life shines through in her singing. Her performances are truly special and not to be forgotten.” Janet Bartos, Executive Director, Lee County Homeless Coalition, Ft. Myers, Florida
“From the moment she stepped on the platform there was a sense that something special was about to happen. Karen stepped into the “flow” of the service with warmth and grace. She easily established connection with our congregation and her choice of songs impressed me. In terms of both music and message, her selections were a perfect “fit” for the morning.
Her enthusiasm was contagious, her love for God was obvious. She was a delight to work with. She did exactly what she agreed to, and did it in with humble confidence. Vocally, Karen is a huge talent. I look forward to her soon return to Bethel Assembly of God and heartily recommend her ministry to any pastor or leader.” Dan Qualls Pastor, Bethel Assembly of God, Rock Island, Illinois
