El Shaddai started as a Bible-quoting radio program of Prayer Partners Fellowship International on August 19, 1984, after Brother Mike’s recovery from a heart ailment inspired him to build a community of believers. A small group of 15 members held a monthly spiritual rally outside the radio station. As the size of the crowd grew (from 15 members in 1984 to millions today), Brother Mike founded the radio station DWXI, and eventually transferred rally venues from a football field, to the Quirino Grandstand, to the Philippine International Convention Center, to the Cultural Center of the Philippines to the SM Mall of Asia Arena, and finally to the House of Prayer, to have a bigger space for spiritual activities.
Prior to forming El Shaddai, Brother Mike was first involved in the Charismatic movement, which helped him to affiliate his group with the Catholic Church, where he remains a lay person. El Shaddai has a diocesan bishop and spiritual director from the Catholic Church. Brother Mike is married to Avelina “Sister Belen” del Monte Velarde, and they have four children.
