Michael Weis

Michael Weis was born in West Virginia and heard the Gospel in upstate New York and put his faith in Jesus as a young boy.  He grew slowly because his family moved around a lot and were without a church for many years.  Michael prayed and enjoyed reading Proverbs however, and it was not until college that he was baptized.  Upon graduating from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Technical Theatre, he moved to Florida to work in the entertainment industry and began studying Christian Apologetics, and has taught the Bible for over 20 years. 

 There was a time in my life that I had anger problems, particularly in college.  While at times it is still a struggle now, the Lord helped me through a lot.  In fact, there was one night where I was lying in bed, praying and crying out to God for help. He did help me and took a lot of that anger away that night.  Again, while there are times when this raises its ugly head, He has given me strength and continues to do so, and gives His forgiveness and grace when I fail.

Around 2000, he began teaching God’s word and in 2006, started his missionary work, first to the Philippines, and then travelled to many other places including Colombia South America with Voice of the Martyrs, Taiwan, 3 times in Israel, and 4 times in China.  In China, he first worked with missionaries to reach college students, and the last three times he trained church leaders. The last time was on his visit to China with China Partner.  Though he went as an observer, the scheduled teacher was not feeling well in the morning and asked Michael to teach.  He was humbled and honoured to teach that session.  After that, he visited Hong Kong.

He lived in Japan for just over 2 years as a self-supporting missionary, where he met his wife, Pek Kuan, who is from Singapore, serving with her church.  They were married in America in 2017, and have a son who turned 2 years old in June 2020.
