Testimonials
“Pastor Michelle Odinma was the guest speaker at the ZAWAC (Zimbabwe Adventist Women Abroad Conference) Annual Retreat in Waxahachie, Texas, March 25-29, 2026, where I was blessed to attend. Her exceptional speaking ability, warmth, and authenticity made her messages engaging relatable, and impactful. She beautifully connected the theme, “Finding Joy in Every Season,” to the everyday experiences of women while reminding us of our value in God’s eyes and His faithfulness through every season of life. Her ability to communicate with clarity, passion, and compassion left a lasting impression on me. ”
