Retreat Speaker
Michele Telfer
Born in Zambia, Africa, Michele grew up in neighboring Zimbabwe. She and her husband Colin married in 1983 and re-located to Botswana after less than a year. It was there, after living a life far from the Lord, that they both accepted Christ.
After struggling for nine years with infertility, and an incredibly difficult first pregnancy, the Lord blessed them with two children, Steven and Megan, born 17 months apart.
During their 16 years in Botswana, they frequently went on Safari, often traveling alone through vast tracts of wilderness. A captivating and humorous story teller, Michele frequently uses her wide variety of life experiences to teach deep spiritual truths.
The Lord used Michele to speak in many churches in Africa as well as to Christian groups in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, before opening the door for her to speak and serve in the United States.
An animated Bible teacher, and graduate of CLASS (Christian Leaders, Authors and Speakers Seminar), Michele’s easy-to-listen-to accent and genuine concern for others make her encouraging messages memorable.
We welcome Michele back to MVPC after three years and look forward to hearing what new adventures with God she has to share with us. |
