Dr. Youssef of Michael Youssef Ministries is committed to sharing the Gospel with the lost and equipping believers to grow into a deeper walk with Christ.

Youssef is the founder of the evangelical Church of the Apostles based in Atlanta, Georgia and the founder of the international preaching ministry, Leading the Way, which he also hosts.


Michael Youssef was born in 1948 in Assuit, Egypt. He converted to Christianity in 1964 at the age of 16. During the Six-Day War Youssef left Egypt for Lebanon where, after six months, he visited the Australian embassy and was granted a temporary visa to that country. While in Australia, Youssef studied at Moore Theological College in Sydney, was ordained as a minister, and met his wife, Elizabeth.

The Youssefs came to America in 1977, and in 1978 Youssef received a master's degree in theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California. He later earned a doctorate in social anthropology from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Michael Youssef worked for nearly 10 years with the Haggai Institute, traveling around the world, teaching courses in evangelism and church leadership to church leaders, eventually rising to the position of managing director at the age of 31. Youssef became a U.S. citizen in 1984 and currently resides in Atlanta.

He founded the Church of the Apostles in 1987 proclaiming the mission to "Equip the Saints and Seek the Lost." From its initial size of around 40 members, the congregation has since grown to over 3,000 people and was the launching pad for Leading the Way--an international ministry which broadcasts via radio and television to over 200 countries and in over 20 languages.

When Crosses Are Gone: Restoring Sanity to a World Gone Mad By Michael Youssef Ministries / Dunham Books

The collapse of the Roman Empire occurred in a single generation and was not so much the result of invasions by their enemies, but the result of moral decay and internal corruption. Similar patterns are emerging in America and the elimination of the Christian cross is one of the most significant symbols of that cultural decay. Today, forces are at work to strip this "dangerous symbol" from public venues and to minimize its significance. Many Muslim leaders are convinced that when Christianity disintegrates it will create a spiritual vacuum in the West-and their extreme brand of Islam will rush in to fill that void. They believe that Western civilization will become so decadent that America will collapse like a house of cards. Dr. Youssef writes that Christians must stand up against these attacks and defend the cross as a symbol of the love and grace of God, and he provides a diagnosis of the insanity of the current culture and a prescription for restoring sanity to a world gone mad.
