He preaches and holds pastors’ seminars in Asia. Continually monitoring current affairs, he is active in engaging both the media and the body politic on Christian-related issues, particularly the place of the E.U. in prophecy, and was a founder member of United Kingdom Independence Party (U.K.I.P.)
Pastor Michael has been a regular guest on “Freely Speaking”, an almost hour long, daily current-affairs radio broadcast in Geneva, speaking on topics ranging from UFO’s to Creationism to the history of the Middle East, as well as on church-related topics. Articles from Michael have been published in secular magazines, and his letters in major international news magazines such as The Economist and Newsweek, and in major international Christian publications.
His books include “Man With A Destiny” and “A Destiny Beyond Death”, biographies of the great modern missionary to Colombia, Bill Drost.
