  • Featured on Billy Graham Radio Decision Today
  • Published in Decision Magazine
  • Appeared on national Radio & Television
  • Spoken and Performed at 350+ events in America
  • Invited to "Amsterdam 2000" Conference of Evangelism 
  • A Unique And Fascinating Background
        
    From the Nazi regime of Hitler Germany, throughout WWII and Communism, from the rise of the Berlin Wall to its celebrated fall, three generations of Michael's family held true to their faith in God. 
    Michael's grandfather was among the 3% of German school teachers who refused to join the Nazi Party. He endured persecution under Hitler and the Communists only to become an evangelist testifying to God's faithfulness.

    Michael's father was a pastor behind the Berlin Wall, his mother a music and sunday school teacher. Together they built their church and raised a Christian family in the midst of a Communist dictatorship

    Michael grew up behind the Berlin Wall of Communist East Germany. Starting at age seven he learned make tough choices and to defend his faith in a atheist society and socialist education system. He was seventeen when he saw the Berlin Wall come down and gained freedom. He is now leading Challenger Music & Evangelism Ministry sharing his story, music and messages with people in America.
     

    More Than Conquerors
    Persecuted by Hitler, Trapped Behind the Berlin Wall
    One Family Holds True to Their Faith
    And Finds Freedom And Victory in Jesus Christ
     
     
    This inspiring account of a family that would not let life's circumstances keep them down brings a timely message to America.    
    • Are we taking our freedoms for granted?
    • Are we letting our faith grow superfical and light?
    • Are we allowing walls to keep us from being victorious in our life and faith?  
    We strongly believe that God has given Michael Furchert a timely message for America, and it’s wrapped in a multi-generational story with the historical drama of a blockbuster... What Michael and his family have to offer is not only a dramatic story of faith. It’s also a timely message to American Christians who are living in a country where God’s word is increasingly compromised.”
