      <image:caption>“It is clear that God has a mission for Alyssa. With her testimony, God is reaching hearts. God is showing us, through her example, what trusting in His promise, and in His friendship can do in our lives. Alyssa is truly inspirational in her willingness to look beyond the suffering and heartache, and instead give God thanks, and unite herself with Him.” — Maura H. // College Student</image:caption>

      <image:title>Speaking - “Highly Recommend”</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Alyssa's story not only appealed to the youth, but resonated with them. During Alyssa's talk you could hear a pin drop, and I think it's because the Holy Spirit was in that room moving through Alyssa's words. Alyssa's story is powerful and one of overcoming. It allows youth to think of their own struggles and how they can overcome and pursue a deeper relationship with God. I would highly recommend Alyssa to speak with any group of youth. She's not only one of the sweetest people I've ever met, but a true evangelist for the word of God." — Sarah M. // CORE Team Member</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Alyssa brings an energy to faith that is often missing for youth. She sends a message that is inspiring...a message that is meaningful in the moment and stays with you long after the moment. This message is full of hope, determination, and grace!

      <image:title>Speaking - “My Fire Has Been Relit”</image:title>
      <image:caption>"I have no words. Alyssa shared such a story of inspiration and hope and how Heaven heard every want and desire of her heart. Her story was such a bright light of hope and healing. For those who don't really have that relationship with God, who don't know how the saints can be an everyday part of our lives...this is going to be a MAJOR turning point. And her thoughts on suffering...my fire has been relit. Thank you for sharing it with me." — Anonymous</image:caption>
