Hi, I am Michael Pranger. I grew up in a catholic family of 14 kids. Like many people my age, faith was not a real urgent nor important reality of my life. When I got to university however there was already a foundation on which the Lord built on. Through time in seminary, and growing in relationship with our Loving God I received a call from him to live mission, and eventually mission in Europe. Our Lord Jesus shared with his followers "I came that you may have life, and have it more abundantly." and "I have chosen you and appointed you to bear much fruit, fruit that will last." He wants to be close to us and to share his entire self with us. He has invited all of us to be part of his mission! I am very blessed to have been called to do this full-time. I once had a chaplain who reminded all of us present that we have two goals in this life, "Go to heaven, and bring as many people with us as we can"

that is what I have set out to do. I want to fall even more deeply in love with our Lord Jesus and to help show those who I work with the abundant life Christ has to offer. I have been a missionary with FOCUS for 2 years, Team Director for 1 and I am excited to continue to serve as a Team Director with Ardens!
