Mike Pelletier has been in full-time evangelism since his graduation from Bob Jones University in 1988. He has preached in nearly every state, and several foreign countries.
Mike was born June 5, 1965, in Kankakee, Illinois. He accepted Christ as Savior at the age of 6. Soon after Mike's salvation, his father committed suicide leaving his mother to raise 5 small children alone. This tragedy in Mike's childhood has been used by the Lord to develop in Mike a deep compassion for hurting people, and has enabled Mike to better minister to those in need.
Mike attended and graduated from Grace Baptist Academy in Kankakee, Illinois. He received a B.A. degree in Bible in 1988 from Bob Jones University. Mike also attributes much of his preparation for evangelism to the two semesters spent in traveling with the Minutemen Evangelistic Team, a team designed to reach the public school teenagers of America with the message of salvation.
In June 1986, Mike traveled with Evangelist Ron Comfort for 4-weeks of training in evangelism. Later, Mike traveled full-time with the Comfort team ministering primarily to teens.
In December 1988, Mike married Rebecca (Becky) Comfort. Dr. Ron Comfort is now his father-in-law.
God has blessed Mike and Becky with 3 children; Drew, born March 25, 1991; Allegra (Allie), born December 19, 1993; and Aubrey, born October 1, 1995. The Pelletier children also minister in the music and children's ministries.
Mike is the founder and president of OutReach 2000 National Ministries involving independent, fundamental churches nationwide in area-wide evangelistic crusades and in church planting efforts.
