Michael J.
Rainwater
I unify product vision, engineering execution, and data strategy under one operating cadence — defining what to build, leading the teams that build it, and scaling it at enterprise level. Faith-informed. Founder-tested. Mission-driven.

Michael J. Rainwater · Mission Statement
Faith-Informed Leadership
I lead product and engineering as a unified function at Compassion International — owning the roadmap, the teams, and the outcomes for the fundraising platform ecosystem that drives a billion-dollar child development mission. With over two decades of technology leadership, I hold an MBA in Technology Management and a BS in Mathematics — and five US patents issued between 2011 and 2014.
But my story does not begin and end in a boardroom. I am also a Christian author, Bible teacher, and keynote speaker whose work bridges the strategic and the sacred. Based in Houston, Texas, my wife and I are deeply rooted in our faith community — and that faith shapes every dimension of my professional and creative life.

Radical Provision
Radical Provision is the first book in a three-book series exploring how God provides for His people — not just materially, but through community, healing, direction, and restoration.
Written for individuals and church life groups, each of the twelve chapters weaves together personal testimony, biblical narrative, Hebrew word studies, Jewish literature, and practical spiritual application — designed for a twelve-week group study.
This is not a book about a prosperity gospel. It is a book about a God who shows up in the storm — in the most unexpected, unmistakable ways.
