Michael J TiryMichael J. Tiry came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at the age of twenty-nine while in the midst of a career as an engineer. Michael served in the United States Civil Service as a professional engineer for 25 years. After 25 yeas with the civil service, Michael also started, owned and operated a private engineering company. While engaged in a career as an engineer, he also was involved with other men in the founding a local Bible believing church. His deep appreciation for having the assurance of eternal life, his passion for study, and his quest for truth compelled him to search deeply into the Bible with a desire to learn its truth that he might present the riches of God's grace to others. Over the last forty five plus years Michael has been involved in itinerant preaching, a church planting ministry, and a teaching and preaching ministry at Berean Bible Church in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Michael also serves Berean Bible Church as director of the Timothy Institute - a Bible curriculum designed to prepare men for leadership in local churches. Additionally, Mike has been active over a span of twenty three years in a prison ministry. Michael and his wife (Linda) of forty five years have raised five daughters. Read More Read Less
