Born Again to Win: Living Life Empowered by the Holy Spirit!
Ministries
Prison Ministry
We have been conducting prison church services for over 20 years at the Kyle Unit. Our church is called “Church on the Inside.” Each week Mike preaches powerful, truth-filled, messages from the Word of God and Stephanie ministers through song, sermonettes and, believe it or not, reading children’s story books. The men love them!
Since the advent of COVID, one of the primary ways we minister to those behind bars is through 31-day devotionals as well as our other printed materials. Our partners help us print and distribute these around the state of Texas as well as wherever the Lord leads.
We are looking forward to expanding our ministry to those who are (or have been) incarcerated by providing more printed materials, conducting weekend seminars and taking part in prison crusades as God provides opportunity.
Teaching
Mike is passionate in his preaching of the Word of God. He is especially known for his straight-forward teaching on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit which makes it easy for believers to receive.
Overall, his teaching focuses on the Holy Spirit and victorious Kingdom living with an emphasis on grace and faith and godly character.
Leadership Training
Mike served as the Director of Life Unlimited Church Leadership School from 2015 – 2017, where he was privileged to teach alongside the church’s Senior Pastors. The curriculum’s main focus was grace, faith and the Holy Spirit. In addition, Mike teaches “Christian Character” and “Biblical Worldview.”
Christian Higher Education
Mike has served as the Director of Life Christian Bible Institute (Austin and Lockhart campuses) since 2006. He takes an active role in the school, teaching subjects such as Principles of Faith, Authority of the Believer, Healing, Homiletics, Prayer, etc., etc.
Mike’s book, “Born Again to Win,” has been developed into a college course for Life Christian University (Lutz, FL).
