Speaking

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.

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.
