Who is Michelle Sim?Michelle Sim has a natural ability to spot exceptional talent and the determination to bring that talent into the spotlight. By profession an ordained minister, her heart for artists in the entertainment field has led her to many unusual projects. Michelle has written, directed and produced two plays utilizing the skills of unknown artists who have gone on to greater things. Michelle was the Executive Producer on Deborah Klassen’s Legacy of Hope, winner of the 2000 Juno award for Best Gospel Album in Canada, is currently working on a television pilot for R&B artist Danny Brooks, and is the Production Manager for Blood & Fire, a brilliantly written audio drama depicting the first 70 years of the history of The Salvation Army. Michelle is a tireless and creative fundraiser for The Salvation Army and other smaller organizations that help the less fortunate. She is also on the Board of Directors for Community Living Oakville, an organization that supports the mentally challenged. Michelle is the founder of Northern Praise Ministries, Inc., an organization that supports people in the arts, through encouragement, education and opportunities to showcase.
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.
