Mike Iufer

Mike was born and raised in San Diego and went to the one and only Mira Mesa High School. He was fortunate to be able to attend UCSD and study Human Biology. He previously worked in an immunology lab at The Scripps Research Institute, as well as in an environmental toxicity lab at Nautilus Environmental.

The Lord saved Mike during his sophomore year of high school. He grew up going to church on occasion and had a heart for the Lord, but the church had failed to answer any of his questions and his heart was literally in unrest. While in his first year of high school, the Lord brought some upperclassman into his life who were sports stars and in love with the Lord. They shared God's word with him and encouraged him to go to Bible study. God worked it out so that the High School Bible study at Calvary Chapel Mira Mesa met across the street from his house! Mike saw that God was real and alive in the lives of real people, and he soon fell in love with the Lord.

Since that time, Mike has been privileged to be part of God's work at Calvary, in the very Youth Ministry where he was saved.

Mike’s greatest joy in life has come by being in the places that God has called him to be. Mike says, “There is nothing greater than knowing the reason for which you were made and the One who you were made for. Praise God that He's found me.”
