Travels from: Baltimore, MC   Click here to inquire about or book a speaker Lessie Harvey Standing firm on the foundation of God's Word -- Reaching across cultural boundaries with prayer, hope and encouragement. "He has made every nation…and the boundaries within which to live. He has done this so that they would look for God, somehow reach for him, and find him. In fact, he is never far from any one of us." ... Acts 17:26-27 (GW) "Dynamic!" "Vibrant!" "Delightful!" "Engaging!" "Bold!" This is how people respond to Lessie Harvey and the message of joy and hope that she brings. Her clear and relaxed presentations allow others to hear and understand God's truth in new and personal ways and - no matter the topic - to take away practical truths that they can immediately apply in their own lives. Since her conversion in 1980, Lessie has devoted herself to the study of God's Word. She has worked to gain insight into Biblical principles, to apply these principles to her own life, and to share them with others who, like her, seek hope and encouragement through God's Word. Having begun her ministry by teaching God's Word locally, Lessie now offers her wise and down-to-earth messages to you and your congregation, retreat, or conference, anywhere in the world. A native Texan, Lessie holds a Master of Education degree from the University of Houston. She has studied with Precepts Ministries and The College of Biblical Studies (also in Houston). In 1985, she enrolled in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) International and is now a trained BSF teaching leader. In addition to her active involvement in BSF, which continues to this day, Lessie has taught Sunday school and led Bible studies through several churches in Columbia, Maryland, where she has lived since 1990. Committed to her local church, she also travels to nearby Washington, DC weekly, to join other Christians in praying for our nation and the world. Lessie and her husband, Jesse, have been together since 1974 and are now young "empty nesters." While their three children were growing up, Lessie volunteered in their schools and with the many community and sports organizations in which they and their friends were involved. In each of these environments, she cultivated opportunities to share God's love with students, teachers, and community members - as well as to train her children "in the way they should go." Now that her children are grown, Lessie continues to comfort, challenge, and inspire others through her speaking and writing ministries, equipping them to meet life's challenges with an unshakable faith in the Lord. Presentation Topics What's Your Weather Forecast? Bright and sunny, cloudy or partly cloudy, rain, thunderstorms, snow, sleet, or ice - at some point in our lives, we experience different "weather patterns." Lessie shares how God is still in control-regardless of the storms, problems, and adverse circumstances you may encounter. Come let Lessie share with you how to keep your focus on God, no matter what is happening in your life. (30-60 minutes) Loving Yourself as You Were Created Dissatisfied with the way God created you? You are not alone. Contentment and true love start with loving yourself. Lessie will share how God has taught her to love herself. You will discover that God did not make a mistake when He created you. You and you alone can serve the purpose for which you were created. (30-60 minutes) Submission is not a Four-Letter Word! Expectations! Everyone has them, but what happens when others' expectations are not in agreement with yours? Lessie will share her defeats and victories while learning to submit to God's plan for her life. You will learn that God allows struggles in your life to refine and strengthen your relationship with Him. (30-60 minutes) But Lord, I Don't Want to Do That! Have you ever wondered how Abraham could love God enough to willingly sacrifice his only child? Lessie has come to realize that developing a deep commitment to obey the Lord has been a gradual process-not an overnight miracle. Come hear how life's circumstances have helped deepen Lessie's commitment to and love for the Lord. (30-60 minutes) Vessel of Honor, Sanctified, Useful to the Master Gold, silver, wood or clay - each can be a vessel of honor or dishonor. Regardless of where you are in your walk with God, you can be a vessel of honor. Hear how Lessie learned the difference between the two and which vessel she chooses to be.
