He gave his all to Jesus during the Jesus People Movement in the USA. Mike was used to ride the Pacific waves on his board, but when Jesus stepped into his life, He taught him to “walk on water” … in the true sense of the word: After graduating from Christ for the Nations’ bible college, he and his wife went to Hamburg – without speaking or knowing any German. From there they went to Bad Gandersheim, where Mike and his wife led and impacted students and staff of the Glaubenszentrum Bad Gandersheim with God’s vision, love and power for 27 years. And if that wasn’t enough of an adventure, God led Mike and Kay to start their own ministry in the year 2005 – ARISE!, which takes them throughout Europe.
Mike has been a spiritual leader in Germany for decades, amongst others he, together with Walter Heidenreich and other leaders headed up “March for Jesus” in 1992 and 1994. And on top of all this, he is a wonderful worshiper!
