J. Michael Terrett came to Canada from Zimbabwe in 1959. He grew up in a secular Jewish home and in his late teen until his early twenties he began practicing Buddhism. While at the University of Calgary he encountered a Christian group which challenged his confused approach to religion and after a series of encounters with G-d, he surrendered his heart to the Messiah. Michael went on to seminary and began ministry in 1982. While in Montreal he encountered the Messianic Movement and has been a leader in Messianic congregations since 1996. He is presently Rabbi of the B’nai Chayim congregation in Edmonton and continues to explore how to live as Messianic Jews and Gentiles in a spiritually darkening and morally conflicted world.
