WHO WE ARE

About Us

OUR FOUNDER

In 2009 Dr. Michael Youssef founded THE KINGDOM SAT to present the best of biblical teaching from both the East and West, and to fulfill the vision God had given him: to reach the lost and support the saints in ministering to those in the Middle East and North Africa.

Even before his birth it was evident that God had a vision for Michael Amerhom Youssef. In spite of the doctors’ recommendation to terminate the at-risk pregnancy, his parents chose life after God intervened by sending the family pastor to reassure them that this child would be “born to serve the Lord”. His mother gave birth and lived to see Michael surrender his life to the Lord in 1964 at the age of 16.

Dr. Michael Youssef was born in Egypt and lived in Lebanon and Australia before coming to the United States. He holds degrees from Moore College in Sydney, Australia, and Fuller Theological Seminary in California. Dr Youssef also holds a Ph.D. in social anthropology from Emory University.

Dr. Michael Youssef founded The Church of the Apostles in 1987 with fewer than 40 adults and with the mission to "equip the saints and seek the lost." The church has since grown to over 3000. This church on a hill was the launching pad for Leading The Way’s international ministry and its programs are now translated in more than 26 languages.
