“We felt honoured that Michelle accepted our invitation to be the guest speaker at our Central Canada District Ladies’ Day Apart in April, 2010. She was gratefully received and many were encouraged by her sincere messages of hope, accompanied by her keen sense of humour. Michelle’s inspirational talks blessed all age groups and we were sent home with a determination to keep on serving our Lord and Saviour. She truly is a blessing.”

Susan Armstrong, District Director, Wesleyan Church Women’s Ministries

“My wife Pat and I heard you speak a few months ago in Barrie where I purchased “Adventures with Jesus…YIKES!”. Thanks for your  amazing journey and how you found Jesus and how you share Jesus. You speak from the heart and I know that you are filled with the Holy Spirit. I am not a book reader, but I loved your book.”

Thank you!"

"We found Michelle to be very real and personable. She is a vivacious, fun loving and compassionate woman. Michelle Spoke with humour, yet was able to captivate the seriousness of her topic at appropriate times. Her thoughts and topics were very inspirational and life changing. She was attentive to the audience and able to follow their reactions, which allowed her to create a comfortable atmosphere for all. We definitely felt her passion for the Lord and her desire to serve Him with all her being."
Brenda Clair, President Women's Ministry, Innisfil Community Church

"You were a big hit! Many of the ladies have come to me since to say what a powerful impact your message had on them. The comment I heard the most concerns your challenge to love those difficult people we have in our lives, not as we can love, but as Christ loves them. You gave them hope and encouragement in your words, your music and the example of your life - thank you!"
Susan Rumford, Director of Women's Ministries, Oakridge Bible Chapel, Oakville, Ontario

"Michelle Sim was the speaker - she was excellent!!!!  I especially liked that she acknowledged that although her experience changed her life immediately and dramatically, not everyone would have the same experience and change may be more gradual for others.  She had me in tears at times and in stitches most of the time!
