Janet Perez Eckles – Arise Speakers

With a unique flavor, Janet Perez Eckles will have your group cheering and celebrating their own path from trials to triumph.

Her physical blindness never stopped her from seeing life through Christ’s eyes. And her limitations don’t prevent her from demonstrating to her readers and audiences that the richness of life comes when we remove obstacles called excuses.

As Janet delivers the same passionate message to English- and Spanish-speaking audiences, she has shared the stage with John C. Maxwell, Lee Strobel, Nick Vijorcec, Thelma Wells and other popular speakers.

Although tragedy marked Janet’s journey, her contagious joy ignites a passion to turn fear to faith. She achieves this in her work as an international Award-winning Speaker, author of four books, including Simply Salsa: Dancing Without Fear at God’s Fiesta.

Her stories appear in Guidepost magazine, dozens of anthologies as well as in 32 Chicken Soup titles.

Janet is a radio host, Certified Spanish Interpreter, Christian life, missionary, women’s Sunday school teacher, founder and President of JC Empowerment Ministries.

God’s power in action in Janet’s life has attracted the media including programs such as the 700 Club, Enfoque en la Familia (Focus on the Family) and Despierta America (Good Morning America), Fox News affiliate, Univision and Telemundo networks.

Janet’s work has been recognized by receiving the following awards:

  • Professional Excellence Award
  • Women of Distinction Award
  • Latina Women Who Make a Difference Award
  • Beyond Me Award
  • Southeast Missouri State University Alumni Merit Award
  • The Writer’s View (online group)

Janet Holm McHenry – Arise Speaker

Janet is widely known as an insightful, hilarious, and personable speaker—someone who will make you laugh but also someone who will give you a fresh perspective on God’s Word so as to lighten your load. She is a national speaker and author of 23 books, six of those on prayer. You may have heard of her best-selling book PrayerWalk that inspired a feature article in Health magazine, as well as others in magazines such as Family Circle and Catholic Digest. Her newest book on prayer, The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus (release date: June 5, 2018) is the only comprehensive book on the prayer life of Jesus. Her business name is Looking Up! because that is what she enjoys doing most: encouraging others to turn to God through prayer and a deeper spiritual walk. Janet experienced dramatic changes in her life as a result of her prayerwalking, as well as countless answers to prayer in her community. She and her husband Craig have raised four children in the Sierra Valley, where he is a rancher and where she formerly taught English at the high school. Janet serves as the director of prayer ministries in nearby Reno at The Bridge Church, where she also leads a First Place 4 Health group and has served on the church board. In her hometown in the Sierra Valley, she serves on the board of The Sierra Schools Foundation, a nonprofit organization that brings financial resources to her community’s rural schools. In the summers you can find Janet kayaking with Craig on mountain lakes, and in the winter she’s keeping the scorebook at home basketball games. In all of her life’s pursuits, though, you will see that she is Looking Up! . . . and she would love to speak at your next event.

Lee Ann Mancini – Arise Speakers

Lee Ann Mancini graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from Regent University, a Masters in Biblical and Theology Studies and a Masters in Christian and Classical Studies from Knox Seminary and a Masters in Christian Studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Lee Ann is currently an adjunct professor at South Florida Bible College and Theological Seminary, and an awarding-winning, children’s author. Lee Ann speaks to women groups regarding the redemptive power of the gospel represented though the types of brides of the church.“The “Bride of Christ” is a term used often.  However, does one truly understand the full meaning and application? The Bible is a love story. It starts with a wedding and ends with a wedding. It is Father God seeking a perfectly yoked bride for His Son, Jesus. God wants to give His Son the perfect gift that is equal to the love He has for His Son and that perfect gift is the Bride transformed and made ready! That bride is you! Moses dedicates 67 verses to the account of the love story between Isaac and Rebecca. Twice as much as he dedicates to the creation of the world! Why, because the Bible is not just a story about sin and salvation. It is a beautiful eternal love story of redemption! Christ is the heavenly husband who loves with the perfect agape love, a love that made the heavens and the earth!  When one realizes who they are in Christ they are never the same. Matthew 13:44 states, “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.” The whole divine plan is your wedding to Jesus Christ! “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlighten in order that you may know the hope to which he as called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance,” Ephesians 1:18-19.”
The Bride of Christ lecture is well received! Here a just a few comments:“Just a life-changing lecture! I loved it and I cannot wait to teach my daughter, and my Bible group all I learned today!”“Yesterday was amazing, just amazing! I could not turn off thoughts about it all night.”

“I could never understand being washed in the water and the blood so loved your explanation of Eve coming from Adam’s side and how it relates to the Bride of Christ, to us, being given life from Jesus’ side through the blood and water from His wound.”
“Single moms cried at hearing and understanding how dearly they are loved…these ladies felt discarded and worthless, and you made them realize they are treasured.”

“Her visuals were just amazing! I kept taking picture on my phone!”

Kelly Stigliano – Arise Speakers

Kelly is an experienced journalist, ministry leader, speaker, and author. She has written for newspapers since the 1990s.

She shares her life experiences by the article, having been published in magazines such as Guideposts, Focus on the Family, War Cry, Just Between Us, Country, Christian Communicator, various regional periodicals, and more. Her articles have been on websites such as CBN.com, Charismamag.com, and ThrivingFamily.com.

As God teaches her lessons, she writes about them so we can all learn together. She has contributed to twelve compilation books including two Chicken Soup for the Soul editions, Guideposts, two Cecil Murphey books, and Love is a Verb Devotional by Gary Chapman.

Kelly grew up in a small northeastern Ohio town. Within a five-year period she moved through the statistics of pregnant teen bride, abused spouse, and single parent.

Although she learned about Jesus as a child in Sunday school, she met Him personally as a broke and broken single mother of two sweet, but rowdy preschoolers.

Her compelling story was dramatized on UNSHACKLED!, a radio program from Chicago, IL. God’s story in her life was also featured on the Focus on the Family broadcast.

She has enjoyed speaking to women’s groups, teenagers, and teachers since 1987, and currently speaks throughout the southeastern USA, mainly sharing her testimony.

Kelly knows that no one benefits when we wear masks. “Everyone has skeletons in their closets; but my closets have no doors on them!”

She belongs to Word Weavers International writers’ critique group, is a C.L.A.S.S. graduate, and a member of WomenSpeakers.com.

Kelly resides with her husband, Jerry in sunny Florida. Together they have five adult children, a son-in-law, and two granddaughters—all living across the land and in England.
