Michael Presumido

Background

Michael was born in Los Angeles, California and moved to Escobar, Argentina with his mother and two sisters when he was 12-years-old. Not knowing Spanish, he had a difficult time for the first few years he lived in Argentina. Starting at the age of fourteen, he worked in a flower stand for the next 10 years to give his family a better lifestyle. Like many Argentine teenagers, he had a “fast” lifestyle consisting of self-destructive behavior. However, in July 2001, God sent a beautiful, young lady to preach the Good News to Michael. After receiving and believing in Christ, Michael was supernaturally transformed. In November 2002, Michael married this Christian girl, Analia.

In March 2002, Michael met Jerry Willis and has been under his mentoring since that time. Michael officially became involved with A Time To Build in 2005 as the ministry representative/liaison for all projects in Argentina. Michael’s desire is to one day become a part of the A Time To Build traveling team.

Michael and Analia are serving faithfully in their local church. Michael is a preacher, interpreter and the Assistant to his Pastor. They are also blessed with a 2-year-old son; Santiago.
