Micah Armstrong, also known as Brother Micah, is an American Trinitarian Pentecostal[1] evangelist who preaches publicly at universities.[2] He began his campus ministries full-time in 2006, however he visited campuses in his spare time as early as 2004,[3] with visits also possibly occurring as early as the mid-1990s.[4] Armstrong travels with his wife Elizabeth preaching in circuits mostly in the eastern and southern parts of the United States.[2][5][6] Armstrong uses outrageous statements to spark heated discussions. According to Jay Reeves of the Associated Press, Armstrong "holds a near mythic status on college campuses across the eastern United States".[2] On December 1, 2013, Jesse Morrell's OpenAirOutreach.com, published a documentary film on Armstrong's personal life and preaching.[7]
Beliefs
Armstrong speaks out against sex outside of the biblical context of marriage,[8] drugs, rock and roll, masturbation, smoking, and pornography.[3] He calls himself a "homophobe" and performs a song entitled, The Homo Song.[9] He refers to “real Muslims" as terrorists.[3] On the subject of women, Armstrong has said, "Women have two places: In front of the sink and behind the vacuum."[2] He believes one can lose their salvation and must work to maintain it by stopping sinning/repenting from sinning and trusting in Jesus Christ. In 2009, he debated Mike Sprott, a Baptist campus ministry leader and pastor, at the University of South Florida campus, on confrontational open air preaching and the message of repentance and holiness.[10]
Armstrong's preaching is criticized within some Christian circles. Brother Micah and Sister Elizabeth frequently preach against homosexuality, masturbation, and premarital sex,[11] in a way that critics find confrontational. Armstrong calls male critics who challenge his preaching on homosexuality sodomites,[12] and has said that sorority girls put whorehouses out of business by giving away free sex.[13] Micah claims to be sinless (an unorthodox view called sinless perfectionism).[14]
He commonly toured with Brother Jed and Sister Cindy.
