Michael Batenburg found success in corporate America and entrepreneurship, but he discovered that he had spent the first 45 years of his life serving himself, his wants, and his desires. He felt lost, empty, and searching for his purpose and true happiness. Humility set in, and he started making his faith journey a priority. As he began to know God better, Michael became an ambassador to His Great Commission.
To serve others, Michael started Back2Basics Outdoor Ministry. The ministry gets people outdoors, where they get a fresh perspective on life and their Creator, and they rediscover how to use their natural gifts in pursuit of servant leadership.
