Pastor Michael Spearl was called to be a pastor in November 2006 by Union Station at Dunedin SDB Church (formerly known as Bradenton SDB Church). This life change was a long time in the making, unexpected, and a rich blessing. He became a follower of Jesus when only thirteen years old and was baptized at Ft. Lauderdale beach at the age of seventeen. His passion became science and engineering. Bachelor degrees in Chemistry and Electrical Engineering followed, then a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering made his future look comfortable. But when God wants to use us in another way, we should not be surprised when life doesn’t go as planned. Now, Pastor Michael says, “My passions have changed. Now, I want to tell the story of Jesus and disciple others to become like Jesus.” He also had the opportunity to study seminary classes at Columbia International University, in South Carolina and now, he is pleased and blessed to assist the SDB World Federation in its mission and outreach.
