Early on Michael knew God had a special vision for his life. At the age of 16, he surrendered his life to the Lord. Since then Michael has lived his life for the Lord, first serving for ten years at the Haggai Institute, and then founding The Church of The Apostles in 1987. Since its inception, the church has grown to more than 3000 members. The founding of the church served as a launching pad for his international ministry, Leading the Way with Dr. Michael Youssef, which now reaches more than 4 billion people worldwide with the Truth of Christ.

We as Church Leaders are called to "equip the saints for ministry and seek the lost".
