Michelle Shelfer

Michelle Shelfer lives with her husband in Northern California. She was raised in a secular Jewish family in San Francisco. She was the child of bohemian artist parents, one of whom escaped the Holocaust. Michelle studied the arts, gaining a Masters degree in Motion Picture Animation from UCLA and going on to work in the field of educational software. She has produced award-winning, internationally screened animations and has released four musical recordings of her original compositions.

Michelle and her husband, Jerry, head up Prepare a Room Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that exists to offer the healing work of the cross of Jesus to those hurt by abortion and the culture of death and to disciple the next generation to embrace life and the Giver of life. They bring their own personal experience with abortion—with compassion, insight, and practical guidance—in the hopes that those who have been hurt will find relief and new life.
