Dear Friend,

  

If you’ve picked up this book, I believe it’s for a reason. Maybe you’ve felt a pull toward ministry, a deep stirring in your spirit, or a longing to make a difference for the Kingdom of God. Maybe you’ve wondered, “Can God really use me?”

​

I want to tell you... YES, He can—and He will.

​

I know because I was once a child preacher, standing on platforms I never imagined, witnessing miracles I could hardly believe, and experiencing God’s power in ways that forever changed me. But what I’ve learned over the years is that evangelism isn’t about standing on big stages or gaining recognition—it’s about answering the call. It’s about surrendering and saying, “Send me, Lord.”

​

This book, Called to Reach: Send Me, Lord, is more than a study guide. It’s a glimpse into my own journey—the victories, the challenges, and the undeniable moments when I saw God move. It’s an invitation—an invitation for you to step into the extraordinary. Whether you’re called to preach, teach, disciple, or simply share the love of Christ in your everyday life, my prayer is that this book will equip, empower, and embolden you to answer God’s call with confidence.

 

I know the feeling of stepping into the unknown. I’ve been there. I’ve wrestled with doubt, faced obstacles, and wondered if I was truly qualified. But I’ve also seen the miraculous hand of God at work, time and time again. And I can tell you—there is nothing more fulfilling than walking in the purpose God has for you.

​

Today, I live in Ohio with my beautiful wife, Charlene, and our children. I continue to travel, preach, and lead worship—often in Canada—just as I did when I was a child. And now, I’m honored to share my story with you, to encourage you, and to remind you that if God can use me, He can use you.

​

God is still working miracles today. He is still calling men and women to go into all the world and preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15). He is still searching for willing hearts—and I believe one of those hearts is yours.

 

As you journey through these pages, I encourage you to open your heart, seek His voice, and take the first step. This is your time. Your calling. Your mission.

​

Are you ready to say, "Send me, Lord"?

​

With love and faith,  

 

Michael
