Michael Cloud is pastor of Covenant Methodist Church in Lafayette, Louisiana, and a Connecting Elder in the Trinity Conference of the Global Methodist Church. Prior to entering pastoral ministry, he spent five years as a missionary among the Khmer people of Cambodia, where he met his wife, Lida. Together, they are raising three wonderful children. His ministry is shaped by conviction in discipleship, missions, and evangelism, and he is grateful to continue cultivating this work through World Methodist Evangelism.
