Michael was born in California, and moved to NYC at the age of 21. He didn’t come to Christ until May of 2024 when the Spirit of God came upon Michael while he was sitting on his couch, and God spoke audibly to him of the sovereignty of Jesus Christ, and led Michael in prayer. He gave his life to God shortly after.

A friend of Michael’s led him to [k]ings’ church where on his first day he met his future wife, Rebecca. Rebecca was born in the U.S. and raised in Brazil, but moved back to NYC in 2019. They quickly hit it off, and married in January of 2025.

Rebecca comes from a background of missionary work, making her first mission trip to Kenya in November of 2023 to help bring the salvation of the Gospel and deliverance from bondage. While for Michael God birthed a strong desire to minister in inner healing and deliverance after being delivered from occult spirits himself after being saved.

They completed Sozo Basic and Advanced Training, through Bethel Church, Redding, CA in 2025, and are IHDR (Inner Healing, Deliverance & Restoration) Practitioners at the By Design Transformation Center, with a strong pull to people who’ve had experiences with bullying, sexual abuse, self-esteem issues, as well as people with past relations to the occult and new age.

They plan to be a mighty missionary couple to help spread the Gospel to the world and to help bring back deliverance to the Church by equipping the saints in spiritual warfare.
