Prior to moving to Kansas City in 1998, Mike was an intern pastor in California for three years. He led the weekly prayer meetings and taught in the Bible School. In 1995, Mike was involved with Youth with a Mission (YWAM). He had spent some time in Malaysia as a missionary, preaching and ministering to the poor. It was during this time that Mike had met his wife Linda, who was pastoring a church there.

Mike’s main calling is to develop passion for JESUS through the knowledge of the beauty of GOD’s heart. Psalm 27:4 gives insight into the life of king David, who cultivated a heart after GOD, by gazing upon the emotions of GOD’s burning heart. There is a deep desire within Mike to raise up forerunners who establish Bridal love for the worthy Lamb of GOD. These forerunners will prepare the Bride of CHRIST for the end–times.

The book of Revelation has been one of the primary books that Mike teaches. He believes this Revelation of the Majesty of JESUS is the key that will unlock the human heart. This book portrays the perfect leadership of the eternal God upon His throne, which gives us confidence when the judgments of GOD are loosed upon the earth. Those who love GOD will be prepared for intense suffering and martyrdom, and will have a heart victorious in love.

Mike is committed to see 24-hour worship and intercession established in the nations of the earth, especially in Asia. He believes Isaiah 56:7, which talks about GOD bringing joy to the House of Prayer (enjoyable prayer), will be one of the keys to the global prayer movement. The nations will be filled with anointed prayers; which come from perfumed worship.
