 Michael Cumbie
From the heart of the Deep South, steeped in Southern Baptist tradition Michael Cumbie's call from God to preach the Gospel came at age 14. At age 19, while attending college and working on a degree in Music Education Michael experienced a life changing charismatic encounter with the Holy Spirit. Increasingly dissatisfied with fundamentalist, evangelical preaching of the Gospel, he began to understand just exactly how the early church had worshiped with its signs and symbols - and its focus on the Eucharist.
Although a Protestant Pastor for 23 years, Michael ultimately realized that to be truly in one accord with "ancient historic" Christian practice, means to be in union with Rome, where the chair of the successor of St. Peter is located, he continued his studies and research. Michael was even ordained to the sacred priesthood (see picture
gallery 2) with an "old catholic" group in 1993. Eventually he realized that his denomination and the Roman Catholic Church would not become one any time soon, and he discovered that this quest for the fullness of Faith could only be realized in the Roman Catholic Church. In 2001, Michael and his three children were received into the Catholic Church. Michael's wife Sherry came back to the Catholic Church that day as well, after a 28-year absence. Michael Cumbie's conversion story is entitled "No Bread on the Table, No Crumbs on the Floor" because of his great love of, and respect for the Most Holy Eucharist.
Michael Cumbie is an experienced speaker, musician and worship leader and will inspire any audience with his knowledge, wit and incredible sense of humor.
Michael will have your audience rolling with laughter while appreciating their Catholic Faith in a way that no other speaker can!

 The Micah Project
The apologetics department of my ministry will be called “The Micah Project” because of the Old Testament prophet named Micah.
When the Nation of Israel became a divided kingdom (much like the
Church today, Protestant and Catholic) there were certain prophets that
gave God’s message to the Northern Kingdom and prophets who spoke for
God to the Southern Kingdom. There was one prophet, however, who had
a message from God for both kingdoms, that was the prophet Micah. I
have some huge dreams and I believe God will send me plenty of partners
to make these dreams come true. And like every other apostolate, I will
have the privilege of depending on God’s people to help fund these endeavors.
I will produce training materials such as CD’s,
DVD’s, videos, training manuals along with curriculum
guides and complete study guides. Again, I am depending on partner support
to make all of this available.
I believe we stand on the threshold of the greatest time of evangelization the world has ever seen and we desperately need a Catholic voice not only in print and in seminar form, but on National Television.
Won't you please help me give birth to this fledgling vision so that, together, with the Holy Spirit, we might renew the face of the earth? If you are willing to send a financial gift in any amount, please make your check payable to, “The Micah Project” (a 501-C3 non profit tax deductible corporation). The ministry mailing address is, “The Micah Project”, P.O. Box 1224, Foley, AL 36536. Our office phone number is (866) 964-2525.
These are exciting days for our Church, a New Pope, a new ministry, a fresh vision for reaching our world with the “Catholic Gospel of Hope”. God is not dead, but very much alive among His people.
