"God has blessed me with many spiritual and ministry mentors. However, none has more profoundly shaped my life than Naomi Beard. Again and again, she has showed up at critical times in my 25 years of pastoral ministry with a word or insight to clarify God's direction in my life. I have been profoundly influenced by her spirituality, wisdom, and experience."

"Naomi Beard has made a significant imprint on many lives and ministries within the Assemblies of God in New Zealand. It was from her gifted inspiration that many of our women’s leaders felt the call and encouragement to rise and be all that God had created them to be. Many bring blessing, but there are those that impart enduring change dynamics into your lives. The prophetic sounds and impressions made by Naomi left with us indelible lessons and kernels of truth. We had to hear her; the challenge of her own personal testimony demanded it. The authentic around her enduring life’s journey inspired our hearts and invited us into a similar life of faith. The shortness of her visits to us, were disproportionate to the long and enduring legacy she has left."
