Mike & Joani Bell

USA National Director

Mike and his family moved to Utah in 1998 to help start a church in the most un-churched region of the United States (when it comes to historic Christianity). As a worship leader and teacher  in a growing church, he became increasingly uncomfortable with the limited expression of his faith and that of the congregation; Christianity often times was being expressed as the study of Christianity and not the full-bodied living of it. After an extended period of soul searching, Mike wrote out a ministry business plan for a new organization to help churches experience comprehensive worship and spiritual fulfillment by loving their global neighbors, and within a week stumbled onto Hungry For Life International. After extensive conversations with Dave Blundell and the board, the decision was made to expand HFL into the states with Mike at the helm.  
 
Mike lives in Draper, Utah with his wife Joani and kids Taylor, Blake and Madison. He continues to lead worship “on the side.” His missional experience includes The Dominican Republic, France, Mexico, Haiti and Guatemala.
