Michel Khalil was born in Egypt in a Christian family. Since he was a child, he witnessed the martyrdom of many Christians for their faith. However, rather than causing Michel to shrink from Christianity, it only gave him a greater determination to share Christ with those who had killed his uncle. 20 years ago, Michel left his homeland, Egypt and immigrated to the U. S. A. where the Lord opened for him many doors to serve his people in the Middle East. He then found a new way to reach the lost by developing, and training leaders all over the world through serving with Haggai Institute for 15 years as the VP of Middle East.
For five years, Michel served with John Maxwell's not-for-profit ministry, EQUIP Leadership, as the Senior Director of Global Transformation. However; in 2017, he felt led by the Lord to begin his own non-profit ministry, Step Forward Global Ministries, to focus on directly ministering to the suffering and persecuted churches in the Middle East.
