"Donna was the guest speaker for our Thanks-giving for Hope Fall Fundraising Breakfast. We loved the content and title of her recent book, When Hope Comes, so much that we designed our event theme around it! Donna not only blessed our guests with encouraging insights from her book, but she also researched the challenges facing pregnancy centers like Lighthouse. She spoke passionately and personally about the opportunities to make a life-saving difference. Lighthouse supporters were inspired to take action to save lives and equip families to flourish. We were so grateful for her timely message – and for our most generous breakfast offering to date!"

Donna’s presentation was amazing! She walked us through the genealogies of some key women in Scripture, and we learned how God uses ordinary individuals in extraordinary ways, and how His redemptive love turns difficulties into opportunities for renewal. It gave us hope for our future and for generations to come. I received so many great comments, but one that stood out was from one participant who does a lot of work on her own genealogy and said Donna's comments were spot on and really made her think! We are so grateful for Donna's willingness to come and present to the women of Grace. They were blessed.

On Nov 2nd, 2024 Donna Aust was the featured speaker at the Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center fundraising breakfast. As the Author of When Hope Comes, Donna's presentation expounded on the Book of Ruth while incorporating her own heartfelt and deeply personal journey. Her presentation was not only moving but also thought-provoking, offering a unique perspective on the story of Ruth that resonated with everyone in the room. Donna captivated the audience with her authenticity when she shared how her birth mother made the difficult but courageous decision to choose adoption, a choice that ultimately gave her the opportunity to live a fulfilling life. Her vulnerability and openness about her experiences made her message deeply relatable and impactful. Donna's ability to balance personal anecdotes with broader reflections on life and choice made her presentation both emotional and intellectually engaging. Her presentation left the audience inspired and deeply moved, sparking meaningful conversations long after the event ended.
