OUR BOARD

Michael A. Cunha has spent most of his life seeking to honor God through service, leadership,
and faithful stewardship.

 

He earned his undergraduate degree summa cum laude from Washington State University and later completed an MBA in Accounting and Economics from Chapman University. Early in his career, Michael served for over six years in the United States Air Force, flying B-52 aircraft, and later worked with the General Accounting Office, conducting air base audits, where he developed a strong foundation in discipline, responsibility, and service.
 

Professionally, Michael has more than thirty years of experience in business leadership, finance, and operations. He has served in executive and board-level roles across manufacturing and food-related enterprises and currently leads and advises organizations focused on responsible growth and long-term stewardship.

A lifelong follower of Christ, Michael accepted Jesus as his Savior at the age of ten. In the early 2000s, he sensed God’s call to mission work and has since been blessed to serve in Guangzhou (China), Uganda, Trinidad and Tobago, and now Belize. He worships at Christ’s Church of the Valley in Phoenix, Arizona.
 

Michael is honored to serve on the Board of The Word at Work, bringing together his faith,
mission experience, and professional background to support the ministry’s calling to share God’s
Word and equip believers in Belize and beyond.
