Mike met Jesus as a sixteen-year-old in Cape Town, and has been following him ever since. Mike is currently a tutor at the School of Leadership and Theology (solt.co.za). He has a background in theology, evangelism and apologetics, having been an itinerant speaker for four years across the UK and Africa before moving back to the UK in 2020 to lead a church community with his wife, Julia.
He holds a first-class bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Classics from UCT and a post-graduate certificate in education (PGCE) from UNISA. He completed his apologetics training through the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, his post-graduate studies in Theology at the University of Oxford and a Masters in Theology, Ministry and Mission at St Mellitus College, London. He recently moved back to South Africa with his family to be part of what God is doing in this beautiful nation.
He is passionate about following Jesus, learning, and equipping others to live out their faith in challenging circumstances. When Mike is not thinking too seriously about all this, he enjoys running and South African braais.
