Michael is a co-founder and International Executive Director of Fight4Freedom, a Christian charity fighting against sex trafficking in Canada and the Philippines.

“We attempt to live out the reality of Micah 6:8: ‘Act justly, show mercy, and walk humbly with God,’” he said. ... “This vision has kept me focused on this work for the last 15 years.”

During that time, Michael came to recognize that a clinical counselling degree program would help him to minister to the needs of Fight4Freedom’s clients in a deeper way. He chose to get his degree at Tyndale, he said, because “I loved the intersectionality of faith and clinical counselling at Tyndale.”

Michael opened a private psychotherapy practice soon after graduating from Tyndale in 2022, to further help individuals, couples and families in the York and Durham regions of Ontario with Christian counselling and therapeutic support.

Michael and his wife Felicia are shared the 2023 Horizon Award.
