1st Lady Michael has proven to hold on to her confession of faith in enduring polycystic kidney disease and a five-year battle with dialysis. During this test of faith her youngest child, Zoë was born 2 lbs 4oz, despite a recommendation of abortion and a gruesome 6 times a day dialysis schedule. To God Be The Glory! In the providence of God, on February 13, 2001, he saw fit to end the dialysis suffering with a kidney donated by her husband of then, 15 years. Not only were their blood types the same, but their tissue type was compatible and Pastor Michael was a near perfect match. Praise God!

Out of adversity is born triumph and Lady Michael’s present mission includes spreading this story worldwide. To further perpetuate this mission she established Lady Tania Michael Ministries aka Hope Brings Peace, which has 501C3 status, by which, she produces concerts of songs she wrote and dramatizations of her story, where numerous hundreds of dialysis patients throughout the New York City area have attended free of charge.

Lady Michael has authored the books “Miracle Memoirs”, “Basic Training: A Christian Manual For Spiritual Growth” and has co-authored with her daughter, Sandra, “Mothers and Daughters A Book of Poetry”. The psalmist work of her CD entitled “Triumph Through Tribulation” was born out of her dialysis experience. Pastor and Lady Michael acknowledges the music and teaching gifting on their son, Horace’s life, and submits their (3) children in Christ’s developmental hands.
