Mike grew up fast, in a family whose father was disabled in a car accident. His
family was hard working, poor and proud. When Mike was 14 he confronted a man
who was caught in the act of filling our family’s oil tank. To Mike this was a
weakness to be dependant on kind acts of strangers, we did not want or need
anyone's help. This man's defense of his actions was to plead Jesus as his
reason for kindness and love. Mike was saved at 14 in the church that had been
keeping him warm. In 1968 Mike left home and went into military service. He
began attending college while in service and continued for two years following
service. Mike is an electro/mechanical design engineer by trade, a musician by
passion. For many years Mike did not live a Christian life. Ten years ago after
years of living in the world, full of pride, drinking, destroying his family
Mike was alone, living in an apartment keeping company with his god money and
good friend alcohol. One prayer is all it took, like the prodigal son God
welcomed him home. Long story, short version: Mike attended Trinity seminary
(distance education) and was ordained a Minister of the Gospel at Wellspring
Community Church. Mike is happily married to the love of His life. Kaye and Mike
have three children and three grandchildren. Mike is the bass player for Second
Chance Music Ministry.
