Michael was raised in the counter-culture of San Francisco and gave his life to Jesus while hitch-hiking around the country in the mid-1970’s. He returned to the city in 1977 as part of a ministry that pioneered new churches. Michael and his wife Diane married in 1981 and now have seven children and five grandchildren. The Brodeur's launched the San Francisco Vineyard Church in 1984 that soon became one of the largest churches that the city had seen in a generation. They enjoyed 33 years of fruitful ministry in the city and were privileged to host three major waves of the Holy Spirit, with Vineyard in the 80’s, Toronto in the 90’s and the Golden Gate Outpouring of 2008. The Brodeurs moved to Redding, California in 2010 and Michael served as the Director of Development for Jesus Culture for over three years. He currently teaches in the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Michael is the founder of two powerful coaching tools: Destinyfinder.com and Pastorscoach.com - designed to help individuals and organizations discover and fulfill their God-given purpose. Michael and Diane also travel extensively coaching leaders and teaching about the Kingdom of God.
