Betsy Lee Biography

 

 

Betsy Lee is the founder and president of Prayer Ventures. She has been involved in ministry for 20 years: teaching seminars, training prayer teams and mobilizing whole congregations to pray.

Betsy discovered how powerful prayer could be 20 years ago when she launched a prayer ministry to help people who were hurting.  She prayed one-on-one for individuals, then she led small prayer groups.  Gradually she began to minister to larger groups at first locally, then across the country.  The result was always the same: God healed broken hearts and gave people the hope they were looking for.

In 1995, Betsy founded Prayer Ventures, a ministry that offers teaching, training and resources to transform lives through the power of prayer.  Ministry trips have taken her to Africa with Bruce Wilkinson, to Hollywood to pray with the Hollywood Prayer Network and most recently to London, England to launch a partnership with Alpha.

Betsy is a popular speaker and author of seven books including The Healing Moment, Prayer is a Welcome Place and Legacy of the Blessing with John Trent and Gary Smalley. The Women's Devotional Bible 2, which has excerpted her work, lists Betsy as "one of Christianity’s most trusted women."

A versatile communicator, Betsy uses creative Bible teaching, music, drama, audio-visual presentations, prayer and reflection to engage audiences. Her speaking style is warm and personal, rich with real-life illustrations and practical tips from Scripture.
