"Stephanie is my little sister, my adopted daughter and my best friend. I have been blessed beyond measure by her presence in my life. Stephanie has survived unspeakable events in her life and because of God's love, mercy and grace, she is able to share her remarkable story with others giving them hope for a fulfilling life after the horror and abuse from child slavery brought on by an organized cult. Steph has chosen to forgive those responsible for this abuse and has a dynamic story of redemption. It has been the joy of my life to have been chosen by God to give Stephanie a safe environment and I’m so blessed to see the incredible example of God's power to heal a broken little girl into a beautiful woman of faith."
Joyce Bergeman, Sister who rescued Stephanie
Owner: Maui Off Road Center

“I have known Stephanie McKenna for over twenty years. She is a faithful, committed follower of the Lord. Her giftings are varied and many, from singer, songwriter, musician and more. But more importantly, she is a woman of great character."
Mike Miller, Vice President and General Manager Salem Music Network
"Stephanie McKenna is a true artist - one who uses her creative gifts to paint scriptural images of God and His love within one’s soul. Her life is a compelling story that she shares with the help of her tools – guitar, piano, vocals and a smooth saxophone – conveying a message of hope for the discouraged, healing for the broken, and truth for the hungry of heart. Stephanie is a living portrait of the powerful redeeming grace of Jesus. She’s someone worth hearing!"
Dave Buehring, President Lionshare (former pastor Belmont Church Nashville, TN)
“Stephanie McKenna and I have been friends for over twenty years. Stephanie’s early life may have been marked by horrific abuse but her life has also been marked by God’s amazing grace. My friendship with Stephanie has allowed me to see scripture jump off the page as God has truly proclaimed freedom for the prisoners and bestowed on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. Stephanie’s music is captivating and inspiring. Its positive force and energy come from a redemptive quality of love few have been able to express or perhaps even experience. I am thrilled to see her God given talent in the form of songs, hit the airwaves. It is sure to inspire hope to all those who hear and listen. To God be the glory for all He has done.”
Sandy Epperson, President Christian Artist Agency
“Stephanie is a very gifted musician and no doubt uses it for God's glory. We were so blessed by her message of hope in song and her own personal testimony of God's amazing grace, it touched our souls.”
Sid Brewer, Women’s Ministry Leader Second Baptist Church, Clinton TN.
“I did a search and found “When Darkness Touches Light”, on Amazon. I don’t know if you realize how powerful that song is! I feel like that song was written just so I could hear it at this very moment. Wow!”
