Michelle Myers wears many hats at New Hope, serving as the Director of Family Ministry. Her deep commitment to families is evident in everything she does.
Michelle grew up in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, with her parents, sister, and brother. When she was eight years old, her family began attending church, and it was during this time that she developed a personal relationship with Jesus, a bond that has grown stronger over the decades.
Michelle married Mark, and they started their life together on Florida’s West Coast. After eight years of marriage, they faced the challenge of infertility, embarking on a long and frustrating journey. During this period, Michelle’s faith was tested like never before. “With huge medical expenses, seemingly endless procedures, and a weariness I’d never known, the Lord was faithful to sustain and strengthen me as I navigated the emotional roller coaster,” Michelle reflects. She carried index cards with scripture reminders of God’s faithfulness in her pocket, reading them repeatedly until the cards eventually fell apart. Isaiah 49:16 was a significant source of comfort, reassuring her that, regardless of the outcome of their efforts to have children, God saw her and was with her.
Their prayers were answered with the birth of their daughter, Olivia. Although they faced more years of loss and struggle, the Lord continued to sustain and provide for them, eventually welcoming a son and two more daughters into their home.
