Michael Woroniecki focuses on college campuses because, he says, that’s where he can find people responsive to his message. They typically park the bus at a motor-home park or campground, then make side trips to schools in the area using a Volkswagen van that they tow behind the bus. Their home is a 40-foot former tour bus fitted with beds, a kitchen and living space and painted with signs that read “Hallelujah! You are lost! The end is near! Come alone. The 48-year-old preacher - he has a degree from Fuller Theological Seminary in California but is not ordained by any church - travels from college to college with his wife, Rachel, 46, and their six children, ages 12 to 21. Since then, he and his family say, they’ve experienced a long string of arrests, from Utah (where he confronted Mormons and told them that church founder Brigham Young was in hell, and that Billy Graham and the pope would soon join him) to Morocco (where he told Muslims that the only true hope is Jesus). It was the last straw in a long-running feud with authorities about his methods, and they told him to hit the road or go to jail. Woroniecki has been enmeshed in controversy before.Įarly in his ministry, he was, in essence, thrown out of his hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich., for accosting a woman and telling her she was destined for hell. Some of Woroniecki’s beliefs are common among conservative Christians, but most don’t reject organized religion. ![]()
