Gail is very much at home challenging audiences to choose life. Over her lifetime she has found the ability to choose life and, along with her husband, Tony, enjoy the gifts of five miracle children that the doctors said they would never have. These children came at a high cost with doctors trying to bully her toward abortion when her health was found to be in jeopardy. Her life message goes beyond political and social ramifications and her challenge to pro-life audiences is to make the decision to choose life every day. Yes, babies lives and our country’s very future is at risk because of the death culture of abortion on demand, and something concrete must be done, but at the crux of the solution is Gail’s message to make a love for life and all its implications our one main priority. Gail’s prophetic tendencies create poignant challenges to the audience to become proactive in any and every way in hopes of saving lives and see those lives enjoy the life they are intended to have.

Gail McWilliams will knock your socks off. -Governor Rick Perry, Texas Governor

Gail's testimony is off the charts. -Lou Engle, Founder, The Call

Gail's presentation was infused with down-to-earth engaging humor that will resonate with parents everywhere. She lifted my spirit and focused my eyes to glimpse a vision of the bigger story of what God can accomplish when we cooperate with His purposes. -BETSY POWELL, Manager of Sanctity of Human Life, Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, Colorado

My kids were on the edge of their seats. What a beautiful spirit! The message was upbeat and positive. It was a message that could be applied to anyone of life's many challenges...Gail is the kind of speaker who will get you laughing, and then in the next sentence deliver a golden nugget that could change your life...Gail is truly an over-comer that delivers an uplifting message jam-packed with inspiration and hope for the future. Ask her why she carries her car keys. -BRIAN CUSACK, Director of Development, Right to Life of Michigan

Gail McWilliams is the answer for anyone desiring to motivate, encourage or instill hope in a people. We all need the vision that Gail McWilliams possesses. -PASTOR CURT KROHN, Faith Bible Church, DeSoto, Texas

I don't believe you can possible know how many lives you touched in your short time in Indiana. God is being glorified in your lives in an amazing way - unlike anyone I've ever known. We will be praying for God to continue to bless and increase your ministry abundantly. -SHERRY YOUNG, Director Johnson County Indiana CPC

It is with delight that I whole heartedly recommend Gail McWilliams to you for your next event. Gail, and her husband Tony, served as our Masters of Ceremony for our annual fundraising Gala. The Governor of our state of Texas served as our keynote speaker. While I knew the Governor’s name recognition would bring many to our event, I knew that all would leave remembering Gail’s words and the McWilliams family’s story. And, of course, the comments following our event have been ones raving about Gail! …Gail is not only a gifted communicator, but her love for life and desire to honor God in all she does shines through the countenance on her face and the words that she chooses. She caused the audience to feel privileged to partner with our organization and helped them to understand the urgency of the need for their involvement. We had many who attended our event that had never been exposed to our organization before. This generally means a minimal donation, if any. Over half of our gifts that evening came from new donors, proving that Gail helped the audience understand the importance of their participation. -CAROLYN CLINE, Executive Director, Downtown Pregnancy Center, Dallas, Texas

What an absolute pleasure to recommend Gail McWilliams as one of the best Banquet speakers we have had in the last 16 years!  Gail was so easy to work with; she is an example of God's servant more interested in others than self.  She embodies John 10:10 in my opinion - a life giver through and through. And here's the real test: Can your speaker carry the event largely by herself if you were to get sick or not be able to attend?  The answer is an unequivocal yes!  (It) happened to me, and we still had one of the best Banquets ever.  She will be a tremendous blessing for you.  I encourage you to consider Gail when you are planning your next fund-raising event.  Oh, she has a great family too! -John Tabor, Executive Director, The Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Tucson, Arizona

Gail and Tony McWilliams were a joy to work with from start to finish.  Gail speaks the truth in love and brought life and encouragement to those who attended our banquet.  She has a wonderful outlook on life and passes that along with humor and encouraging words. I had several guests come up and personally thank me for bringing Gail to Missoula.  They were each personally encouraged in different ways through Gail’s message. All of us at Life Net were blessed to host them at our Hope and a Future Banquet and highly recommend both of them. -Cathy Jo Finch, Executive Director, Life Net of Missoula, Montana

We have been holding a major annual fundraising event for many years, and I’ve been working with various keynote speakers for the seven years I’ve been serving as Executive Director. Obviously, we’ve had many powerful and entertaining speakers, but I don’t think we’ve had anyone but Gail McWilliams who generated as much dialogue. Our guests are still talking about the main take-away point, “I’m not stuck; I’ve been positioned by God.”
I’m positive the 14 people who have contacted us about volunteering since our Annual Fall Gala did so because of Gail’s challenge to become involved. I can’t say enough about how clearly Gail understands the needs and ministry of a pregnancy resource center and is able to communicate the mission to preserve and protect life to event guests in such a way that they respond at the event and after.
I recommend Gail as an effective, enthusiastic speaker for a pregnancy resource center fundraising event.  In addition, we all know how stressed and exhausted we are the days before and right after a major event. Having Gail and her husband, Tony with us decreased rather than increased my stress. They are a delightful, upbeat, positive, encouraging couple, and are not at all demanding. They worked with me—not against me—to ensure our event would be a success.
I’d be happy to speak with anyone regarding my experience with Gail McWilliams. -Lisa J. Stiefken, Executive Director, San Bernardino Pregnancy Resource Center, California

I first met Gail McWilliams at a Care Net conference and immediately knew she was a gifted woman with a strong mission. As Executive Director of the Hill Country Pregnancy Center I am always searching for a motivating speaker who gives a message of hope while dealing with the difficult topic of abortion. After hearing Gail speak I requested that she visit my hometown of Boerne, Texas and share her unique story…Through Gail’s testimony at our Annual Fundraising Gala many were encouraged to see beyond their circumstance and trust God. Her joy was contagious! She was able to energize 440 people and challenge them to take a closer look at life and realize that each life is precious. She was also a valuable asset in asking for donations. The proceeds from this event were one of the best in our 22 year history…I do not hesitate to recommend Speaker and Author Gail McWilliams to any group who wants to raise the bar for their next event. I have every confidence that with God’s guidance she will deliver all and more than you can imagine. –LEE ANN JACKSON , Executive Director, Hill Country Pregnancy Resource Center, Boerne, Texas

As Director of Training, I speak with many pregnancy center directors each week, many of whom are in need of a banquet speaker. Additionally, as we train pregnancy centers and maternity homes in how to conduct successful fundraising banquets our trainers make recommendations on speakers. We are happy to be able to add your name to this list and to let people know of your testimony. -LISA HOLUB, Director of Training, Life Steward Ministries, Knoxville, Tennessee

If you want to do something completely different, move your audience and challenge your constituency, we highly recommend that you consider Gail for your next event. -ANGIE HAMMOND, Director Duncanville, Texas CPC

I first heard Gail McWilliams speak at Care Net’s National Conference in September of 2007. I am so very thankful that I was in the audience when Gail shared her testimony. It is my privilege and joy to tell you that you will be immensely blessed by Gail’s presence and her story of God’s hand in her life. We sat in awe at the testimony Gail shared of God’s loving care for her and His faithfulness to her family. What a sacrifice Gail made for her children and what a story of the importance of human life, but the best part of Gail’s story is the finger that she points to the cross and the glory she gives to God. We were so encouraged by Gail’s dynamic, uplifting, determined spirit. She is an excellent public speaker. -KATIE TRAYLOR, CareNet, Birmingham, Alabama

(Our) fundraising banquet of the Arlington Pregnancy Centers entitled Crowns of Life was anointed by the presence of Gail McWilliams and her family. Gail not only communicated life with her message, she exemplified the depths to which we should go to maintain it. With the accompaniment of her children surrounding her, she demonstrated the true gift of life. People responded to the event with generosity and joy…some of them finally “getting it” through her portrayal of the importance of life to the Heavenly Father through her sacrifice to preserve life at an extraordinary personal cost. Some banquets are not emotional enough…some are too emotional…this banquet was touching enough to tug at the heart strings and practical enough to encourage monthly commitments. We were uplifted by the message, encouraged to continue the race, enlightened through the humor and overjoyed by the music. The night was one that will live on in the chronicles of the best banquets of Arlington Pregnancy Center. -BECKY HYDE, Executive Director Arlington Pregnancy Center, Arlington, Texas

Gail McWilliams is one of the most captivating speakers I have ever heard. I was truly moved by her testimony at the Care Net conference this year. I have been reminded by the Lord through Gail to see beyond my life and circumstances into what He sees. We loved Gail so much that we used her DVD story to appeal to our donors! I would recommend her to speak to any group, and I would go to hear her speak again and again. I thank God for using her to move my heart, but mostly I thank God for using her to help save lives! -KAY SANFORD, Care Net, Donor Relations, Birmingham, Alabama

We were so blessed to have Gail McWilliams speak at our 25th Annual Fundraising Banquet this year. The day before our event, Gail made a personal visit to tour our pregnancy center and met the staff. This personal attention had never been given to our center before by a keynote speaker. The visit broadened her awareness of the work we do and our vision as she shared on the evening of the banquet...Gail’s personal testimony touched the hearts of our guests with her enthusiasm and passion for life. Her humor and touching stories concerning the daily challenges she faces inspired our audience. Our goal for the banquet was $31,000. We raised $37,000! Gail encouraged the guests in making a generous one-time donation that evening as well as challenging them on the value of committing to a monthly pledge. Some of our guests made the following comments: "It will be hard to top Gail at the next banquet. She was truly a gift!" "I thought the speaker was excellent! It tied in great with the mission of the center." "Gail was inspirational!" It was an absolute delight and honor to have Gail speak at our banquet. Our guests responded to her with a standing ovation. We highly recommend her. -JEAN P. MIMS, Executive Director, Community Pregnancy Center, Mooresville, North Carolina

Gail McWilliams spoke at our Banquet and our people loved her! Her sense of humor, positive outlook, and speaking ability endeared her to everyone in the audience. It was fun for me to hear people laughing throughout her presentation. Gail’s walk with the Lord, love for Him, and for our ministry shone through. I was amazed that even though she couldn’t see a clock, she timed her talk to the minute. Financially, the banquet was more successful than the year before, even with slightly fewer people and a 2nd year of economic recession. The DVD of her life and family is key to setting up her story; be sure to include it in your program. She has my highest recommendation. -Aimee Huber, Executive Director, First Choice Women's Resource Centers, New Jersey
