BIO:

Are you looking for a speaker who can encourage and inspire your audience? Laurel speaks with warmth and sincerity. She loves to laugh, yet is not afraid to cry. Whatever the topic, your audience will leave refreshed, as they have been drawn into a closer walk with God. 

Laurel and her husband Jim are the parents of ten children and live on a blueberry farm. She has been a speaker for 15 years, ministering at women's retreats, family camps, youth events, M.O.P.S. groups, and homeschool conventions. Laurel's life has taken her down many interesting paths (both fun and difficult). Her hearts desire is to help others who may be stumbling along those same paths. 

Laurel is a graduate of the Christian Leaders Authors & Speakers Seminar (C.L.A.S.S.) and a member of the Northwest Christian Speakers Bureau. In addition to her speaking ministry, Laurel has written three books and is a regular contributor to the Hearts at Home and T.E.A.C.H. magazines.
