Becoming
a Vessel of Honor (2 Timothy 2:20-21)
You can be the person God called you to be. Interestingly, the qualification
to be a vessel of honor is up to us (“If anyone cleanses himself…”). Discover
that God uses willing, ordinary people to do outrageous, extraordinary
things!
Beauty
for Ashes
Hear Laurette’s remarkable, moving testimony – and discover how the Lord is
able to create something beautiful from the ashes of our past. From the
bondage of compulsive overeating, alcohol, fear and self-loathing; her life
on the New York stage; a 20-country trek through Europe and the Andes as a
New Ager and yoga instructor “looking for God in all the wrong places” – to
the day she came to the end of herself on a lonely hilltop and cried out to
the Lord on April Fool’s Day when she went from being a fool for the world to
a “fool for Christ.” You’ll laugh and cry with Laurette as she tells of her
compelling “journey to Jesus” and shares how He continues to bring freedom
from bondage – and victory from defeat. God wastes nothing – even those wasted, painful places in our lives.
Making
this message personal to your group is the heart of Laurette’s talk.
The Lord is able to take the ashes of our past, turn our mess into a message
and make our lives a shining beacon of hope to others, leading them to
Christ. You’ll agree that God chooses the
foolish things of the world (“Like me!” says Laurette) to confound the
wise.
Extreme
Makeover by God’s Design (2 Corinthians 5:16-17)
Ready for an extreme makeover? Television’s reality shows tempt us to look
only at the outward person. “Ugly ducklings” suddenly become graceful swans,
yet the Lord reminds us to “regard no one according to the flesh” – even
ourselves. Looks like it’s time for a radical “faith lift!” Can spiritual
beauty be developed? How can I look more like Jesus on the inside so His
beauty radiates through me on the outside? A Word-based, encouraging seminar
that will leave you feeling uplifted – in all the right places!
Many
Flowers, One Bouquet (Romans 12:4-6)
Different gifts, different callings… one body of Christ. Whether encouraging
volunteerism at church, or greater fellowship among believers, the Lord
persuades us to love one another and work together for His glory. We are each
a special and vital part of the beautiful fragrance of God’s “bouquet.”
Apples
of Gold
Have you ever wanted to bite your tongue after saying an unkind word – or a
string of them? Based on Proverbs 25:11, you’ll discover how a word “fitly
spoken” can heal hurts, change lives and sow blessings into the hearts of
family, friends and those we meet. Uncover the mystery of taming the tongue.
We can ditch the “rotten apples” and cultivate a golden orchard of blessing!
Other Topics
Write
the Vision (Habakkuk 2:2)
Getting in touch with God’s purpose for your life, dreams and goals. It’s
never too late to fulfill the call of God on your life. People leave this
seminar with a clearer idea of their purpose in life – and a plan for its
fulfillment in line with God’s Word. Clear, concise, relevant. (Can be given
as a talk or seminar.)
The
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Explore the Hebraic roots of our Christian faith and see how they point us to
Jesus. The blood covenant, prophecies in the Old Testament, the Hebrew
festivals, Ark of the Covenant and Mercy Seat, the names of God, even the
meaning behind the letters of the Hebrew alphabet all point to our Lord! (Can
be given as a talk or seminar.)
From
the Cross to the Throne (Ephesians 2:6)
God has “raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places
in Christ.” Discover who you are “in Him.” Let’s become Kingdom-conscious!
Recognizing our heavenly citizenship as Ambassadors for Christ, we can come
down from the high chair (or high horse!) and find our peaceful place on the
throne – in Him.
Please Note: On
request, Laurette will prayerfully design a talk
based on the theme
of your event.
Seminar Themes
Fitness
for His Witness™
featuring PraiseMoves™ (“The Christian Alternative to yoga”)
In this enlightening seminar, Laurette covers scriptural keys to health and
fitness for spirit, soul and body (based on Romans 12:1-3; 1 Corinthians
6:19-20 and Hebrews 5:13-14). She also shares valuable tips she’s learned to
help people at all levels of fitness get in shape, “Six Seeds to Sow for
Vibrant Health,” and clever ways to introduce health-giving habits into our
family’s lives. All teaching is given with a generous dose of humor based on
Laurette’s trial-and-error experiences on the road to victory after years of
being overweight and out-of-shape.
Based in
part on Laurette’s new book, BASIC Steps to Godly Fitness
(2005, Harvest House Publishers), you’ll learn BASIC (Body And Soul In Christ) steps to achieve
vibrant health from the inside out – and make the rest of your life the best of your life!
Laurette
also outlines the dangers of yoga, and the dynamic PraiseMoves difference.
Gentle stretching and movement combine with STRONG scripture for stress relief,
weight loss, flexibility and strength.
Half the
seminar is given in a teaching format, and the other half is a gentle
PraiseMoves stretching workout for all ages. Discover PraiseMoves for
yourself during this invigorating yet relaxing session. Be refreshed!

Personality Puzzle

What might a Weekend Retreat Look Like?
A weekend
with Laurette Willis is entertaining, enlightening, encouraging and
“Pass-me-the-Kleenex” moving – from tears to laughter!
Depending
on the format of your retreat or conference, a weekend with Laurette can
include any or all of the following:
- Powerful Performances
Scripture comes to life as you meet some of the Bible’s most compelling
ladies. Choose from among Elizabeth, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla and Ruth
in the critically acclaimed one-woman musical drama Great Women of the
Bible. You may prefer Susanna Wesley or Sister Aimee (Aimee
Semple McPherson). Perhaps wacky comedy is the
order of the day. Take a nostalgic musical comedy look at the 1940s in The Nutty ‘40s Radio Show.
Be a member of the studio audience on the day everything goes wrong –
and become part of the show! Hear for yourself why Laurette’s nickname
is “The Woman of 101 Voices!”
- Dynamic
Presentations
Choose
from a variety of timely messages, or ask Laurette to prayerfully design
a keynote address tailor-made for your event. Whichever you choose, rest
assured you’re getting a seasoned Bible-literate professional who’s
sensitive to the needs of others and the leading of the Holy Spirit. And
everything Laurette does is peppered with a generous dose of joy and
laughter!
- Winning
Workshops
Breakout sessions available: Fitness for His Witness featuring
PraiseMoves (spiritual, emotional and physical fitness), The
Personalities, Bible women, drama or storytelling.
- Quiet Time
This allows participants to personalize the
messages they’re hearing and enables the Holy Spirit to attend to their
hearts one-on-one.
- Prayer
After her presentations, Laurette is honored to pray with your
participants for their personal needs and those of their family.
- Call to
Action or Communion
In closing, you may choose a corporate call to action, or to take
communion together as a group. Either choice helps to anchor the
experience of the weekend in participants’ hearts. We renew our
dedication to the Lord and return to our homes refreshed!
