Michelle Sim has been an active participant in various areas of Christianity for over twenty years. She was the assistant pastor at a church of 500 in Burlington, Ontario from 1985 through to 1991. Her many duties included heading up the vibrant worship team, teaching from the pulpit, women’s ministry, hospitality and visitation. It was during this tenure that Michelle recorded her first CD, Son Shining Through, was a guest host on Nite Lite as well as being a guest on 100 Huntley Street.
In 1991 Michelle left her pastoral position to found Northern Praise Ministries, a Canadian organization which supports Christians in music. One particularly great accomplishment was to be executive producer on Deborah Klassen’s magnificent Juno Award winning CD, Legacy of Hope. Deborah, along with many other wonderful Canadian artists, are some of Michelle’s best and dearest friends.
Ordained with Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, she is an energetic, wisdom filled, motivational speaker and singer. One of only a handful of speakers for World Vision Canada, her heart goes out to the less fortunate of the world – both here at home and abroad. Part of this compassion comes from Michelle and her husband dealing with their younger son Paul, who is dual diagnosed as both developmentally challenged and mentally ill. Michelle sat on the Board of Directors for Community Living in Oakville for three years and is acutely aware of the struggles of the poor, disadvantaged and disabled in Canada.
Michelle’s keen and zany sense of humour has seen her through many challenges and difficulties. Her on stage persona has been compared to that of Lucille Ball, but the message of Christ always come through in strength and clarity! Her latest endeavour, writing her first book, “Adventures with Jesus… YIKES!” will be out in the spring of 2006.
Her diversity of gifts has indeed led to many adventures, some of which include: writing four plays showcasing Canadian talent, three of which have been performed at The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts; producing many high end events and raising substantial funds for various organizations; writing two full Bible College courses “Music and the Church” and “The Power of Love & Unity”; co-founding Authentic Women of Canada, a one day conference promoting Canadian talent, and; helping many people on a spiritual level in their daily struggles with life.
In December, 2005 Michelle released her newest CD, Favourite Hymns, a beautiful collection of hymns of old, produced in simplicity and integrity. The only musical accompaniment is provided by Danny Weis on guitars. Danny is best known for his work as musical director for Bette Midler’s movie The Rose.
