Michael Camp
Michael Camp is a former Baptist missionary and aid worker for evangelical organizations. Off and on for seven years, he lived and worked in Somalia, Kenya, and Malawi. He has also traveled in Asia extensively representing missions and development organizations. He has worked for Food for the Hungry, World Concern, and World Vision.

After more than a quarter of a century of involvement in the evangelical movement, including as a missionary, pro-life activist, and lay leader, Michael walked out of the church and conservative religion. He tells this story in his book, Confessions of a Bible Thumper.

In his second book, Craft Brewed Jesus, he shares discoveries of history that have fascinating implications for re-thinking contemporary Christian faith.

Today, as a progressive Christian writer, one of his passions is to help people see they can leave religious legalism behind without losing their faith in God.

Another of his passions is to pursue social justice for the poor and oppressed. He pursues that through involvement in Rotary International and a local Club where he is on the Africa/Asia Microfinance Committee that overseas microfinance projects.

He and his wife, Lori, and their four children live in Poulsbo, Washington.
