Mike Bugal

I was a Cradle Catholic from the time that I was born through my teen years. I slowly moved away from the Church and as a young adult I became an Evangelical Christian. I spent nearly 40 years in various types of ministry as a teacher, preacher, pastor or evangelist. But my main area of expertise was Apologetics…what we believe and why we believe it. I am a graduate of Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, MO with a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies. In November of 2014 I retired to the Philippines, where my wife Rose is from. We live in the mountains of Negros Oriental in the small town of Canlaon City with our many brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces (to whom I am “Daddy Mike”).

Nine years ago I reverted to the Catholic Church. I have try to write articles which inform, instruct and equip our Catholic brothers and sisters while avoiding using jargon. I have also sought to defend the Faith with our several Protestant visitors in as kind a way as possible

My archive here, which now contains nearly 80 articles, is located at http://www.catholic365.com/author/mike-bugal/

...Of Water and The Spirit

In the first part of my testimony concerning my reversion to the Catholic Church I talked about my birth and life as cradle Catholic in the pre-Vatican II days…as well as a little bit about my departure from the Church. As I left for the Air Force I still somewhat considered myself an agnostic, but the Lord was beginning to work in my heart to bring me into a true relationship with Him.

Except A Man Be Born

In preparing to write this story of my spiritual journey in, from and back to the Catholic Church my mind weighed several ways to begin this text. Being a fan of the works of Charles Dickens the first words that came to mind was the opening chapter of “David Copperfield”…”Chapter 1: I am born”.
