About Shiri Joshua:
Shiri is a born-again Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus). She was born and raised in Israel and moved to Ontario, Canada, in the mid 1990s.
Shiri’s academic background includes a B.A. and Master’s degrees in Counseling Psychology, along with post-graduate clinical training in Child and Adolescent Development and Grief Counseling (she was a pioneer in introducing Pet Loss Grief Counseling in Toronto in the early 2000s). Shiri practiced as a registered psychotherapist in Toronto and Vancouver for over ten years before a sudden medical emergency led her to a profound change in both her career and life direction (see videos below).
LIFE CHANGE EVENT:
When she was 37 years old, Shiri was diagnosed with stage III rare and aggressive form of cancer. Since she didn’t really know Jesus or God at the time but was yearning for Him in her heart (in secret), she fell on her knees at that cancer center, and finally surrendered by giving her life to Yeshua!
At that moment, Shiri promised God that if she survives cancer (and depression), she will “tell the world” and especially her people (Israel) about Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah.
Well, SHE SURVIVED!
Since 2017, Shiri has been touching people’s hearts by sharing her testimony of how God saved her from near-death and mental anguish and brought her to Himself.
Shiri’s passion is to share biblical teachings that bring hope and inspiration, often integrating the Hebraic roots of the scriptures while connecting with the hearts of people and seeing their lives transform by the power of Messiah’s love.
In October 2020, Shiri became a Licensed Minister facilitated by Pastor David Ramiah of Christ Exalted Ministries (CEM). After almost 7 years at a Messianic synagogue, Shiri now attends a Word and Spirit faith-based congregation where she grows spiritually every day!
In her personal life, Shiri is an adoring auntie to 4 beautiful little children who have captivated her heart and soul. She is also a huge animal lover and is in the process of fulfilling a dream of establishing a healing ranch for individuals experiencing PTSD – with the help of horses (and other animals). She currently shares her home with her cat Holly, and a newly-adopted bunny Benji (“Benjamin”).
