Natalie lives the Follow and Lead model.
Natalie Ames is truly an inspirational Christian workshop developer and leader. In February of 2018, we were part of a mission trip to Nicaragua to present a Women’s Conference on Discipleship. Natalie was tasked with leading the large group instruction. She was sensitive both to her audience and to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I worked with Natalie at all stages of the development of this trip, and her support to all of us as we planned, prayed and went on mission was excellent. I would recommend Natalie for helping your group plan trainings or as the speaker for your events.
