Pastor Michael began his ministry journey in 2013 when he received ordination from Pastor Jeremy Samudio at Celebration Worship Ministries in Fairborn, Ohio. In 2018, he relocated to Florida, where he founded Steadfast Faith Ministries in 2019. In June 2022, he married his lovely wife, Pastor Candice, and together they welcomed their son, Andrew, in February 2024.

Responding to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Michael rebranded his ministry as Living Fire Ministries in 2024, aligning its mission with his vision of igniting faith and fostering a deeper connection to God among his congregation. With a heart for service and a genuine passion for imparting God's wisdom, Pastor Michael embodies a shepherd's heart, providing guidance and support to those in his care.

His commitment extends beyond his immediate community; Pastor Michael has a particular love for the Florida Heartland, dedicating his efforts to serve and uplift the residents of this vibrant region. The Foland family resides in Polk County, Florida, where they continue to cultivate their ministry and nurture their growing family.
