On this episode we have Micah McElveen on the podcast as we discuss his book Dying for Purpose which captures his story.

Micah was a three-sport athlete who had dreams of grid iron splendor and loved to surf.​ He had no idea that a family trip to the beach, would nearly send him to the grave. On October 9, 1995, a stranger found Micah’s lifeless body floating face down in the surf. "I remember feeling a shock rush through my body as soon as my head hit the water. I had dived into big waves a hundred times before, but this time I knew something was wrong." Micah shattered four vertebrae in his neck, was immediately rendered quadriplegic, and he flatlined. His body was loaded onto a life flight and transported to Tampa General Hospital. 

Intense rehab and the grace of God allowed Micah to recover use of his legs and partial use of his arms. No longer able to play football, Micah honed his skills in soccer. He also found that soccer helped break through language & culture barriers quickly, an insight that would shape the future. ​As he prepared to leave Africa and started to process what he had seen, Micah came to a crossroads and this is where Vapor Ministries was founded.
