I was a Cradle Catholic from the time that I was born through my teen years. I slowly moved away from the Church and as a young adult I became an Evangelical Christian. I spent nearly 40 years in various types of ministry as a teacher, preacher, pastor or evangelist. But my main area of expertise was Apologetics…what we believe and why we believe it. I am a graduate of Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, MO with a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies. In November of 2014 I retired to the Philippines, where my wife Rose is from. We live in the mountains of Negros Oriental in the small town of Canlaon City with our many brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces (to whom I am “Daddy Mike”).

Five years ago I reverted to the Catholic Church. In the last year I have tried to write articles which inform, instruct and equip our Catholic brothers and sisters while avoiding using jargon. I have also sought to defend the Faith with our several Protestant visitors in as kind a way as possible

My archive here, which now contains nearly 70 articles, is located at http://www.catholic365.com/author/mike-bugal/
