Majid Michel

Der 1980 geborene Majid Michel ist ein ghanaischer Schauspieler, Evangelist und charismatisch geprägter Bibellehrer. Bekannt wurde er durch seinen 2016 vollzogenen Glaubenswechsel, infolgedessen er mit christlichen Werten unvereinbare Filmrollen ablehnte und begann, öffentlich für eine persönliche Nachfolge Jesu und gegen bloße religiöse Routine zu predigen. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Profil die Verwirklichung biblischer Jüngerschaft im Spannungsfeld von säkularer Prominenz und gesellschaftlicher Öffentlichkeit.
