ABOUT MICAH
Micah met Steph at North Central University in downtown Minneapolis.

After several years working in the local church they sensed God asking them to take a step of faith and go on the road full time. For the last three years they have been ministering to thousands as God has opened every door of opportunity. They currently are “staff evangelists” and contracted worship leaders at Zoe Church in Burnsville, MN.
