What others are saying:
Jenny Gemmill, Women's Ministry Leader, Van Dyke Church, Lutz,FL
"My favorite thing about your teaching style is that you are able to reach the new believer to the seasoned believer through the message. Your use of Greek words and ancient customs allows the seasoned bible studier to learn new truths but you are able to bring the teaching back to a level that a new believer can relate and not be lost. It is a wonderful gift that God has given you as a teacher of His Word."
BetsyAnn Hudson-Pugh,Lead Event Rep - Women of Faith
"I have heard Wendy speak for the last two years at the Lake Aurora Ladies Retreat. She is energizing and definitely has the ability to speak to the heart. I recommend her without any reservations whatsoever. As a person who has been working in the business of live events across the country for the last three years, I have not seen or heard any better speakers than Wendy. She is truly a blessing to those who have the opportunity to let her touch their lives."
Julie Gariss - speaker, author, and minister's wife College Heights Christian Church, Joplin, MO
"She is cute, vivacious, and as comfortable as the girl-next-door. In a culture that feeds off things as artificial and absurd as "reality" T.V., Wendy has a genuineness about her that is delightfully refreshing. It is obvious that her passion is driven by her personal study of the Scriptures and her desire to connect her audience with its author. I offer my encouragement to "take a listen" to this engaging and excellent speaker."
"Wendy has a strong, yet soft, powerful and passionate, yet not 'in-your-face' message. She captivated me and touched my heart! Excellent choice!" -Attendee, LifeBridge Christian Church, Longmont, CO
"So many speakers base their message on the story of their life. Wendy did share from her life, but she actually taught us the Bible. It was powerful, easy to remember, and clear for applying to my life." - Women's Ministry Leader, LifeBridge Christian Church, Longmont, CO
Lori Krueger, Women's Ministry Leader at Legacy Christian Church, Overland Park, KSIf there was one word that I could use to describe Wendy, it would be ENGAGING. She jumped in our car after a 19 hour travel day, and immediately began pouring into the lives of women. She came on a mission. She came to bring a message of love, restoration and faith-driven action. She spent time investing in our women, one conversation at a time. Pouring in truth. Teaching and listening. Once she took the stage, she dynamically engaged with the audience. Her approachability and authenticity made it easy for everyone to connect with her and her message.
The cornerstone of this ministry, "that IF the word of God speaks THEN HE is calling us to move" is needed by this 'consumer church mentality' age that we live in. We get stuck in the pews. We get stuck in our Bible studies. We get stuck with our complacency and our comfort. BUT God is calling us to MOVE, and He is using Wendy and If Then Movement to challenge us to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
From the first phone call, I believed that God had brought Wendy to us at just the right time. That He was weaving together a mountain top kind of weekend for our women, and that this weekend would be one that we would always remember. I was right.
Alison Van Duyne, Director of Youth Ministry, St. Paul UMC, Clearwater, FL
"We couldn’t have been more thrilled with our experience with Wendy and the If…Then Movement. There was such intentionality in all that Wendy provided for our teen girls event from the planning process to the teaching time to the interpersonal relationships that were established. This event left our girls wanting more time with Wendy in the near future because she made such in impression on them as she encouraged them to be who God created them to be. Thank you for coming and making our event a success!"
Family:
Blessings through marriage, birth and adoption!
Wendy and her husband Mike have been married for 27 years and have five, incredible children. As you can imagine, with that many children, the word “normal” doesn’t really apply to the Fitzgerald household, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. Wendy does confess, however, that her favorite time of the day is during the wee hours of the morning when the house is quiet, the coffee is fresh and God's Word comes alive.
