In Case You Were Wondering

Dear Friends,

I am eighty-three years old and for some time I have been thinking more about the future and the continuation and expansion of Wholeness Ministries. Reaching the younger generations of men and women with the message of healing and freedom and encouraging them to actually do the things that Jesus did has long been a passion of mine throughout all my years of ministry.

Most ministries that are centered on one person end abruptly when that person finishes their time of ministry. Fortunately, I am still in good health and have no intention of retiring. But what if the work that you have partnered with me on could continue and be multiplied into the next generations? It is YOUR legacy as well as mine to see Wholeness impacting the next generations for many years to come!

Some of you are aware of my passion for training and mentoring young men. For those of you who are not, let me give you a picture of the importance this plays in my life. In the late 1980’s while at a Vineyard Conference in Anaheim, California I was given a prophetic word by a man I trust that I would be leading an army of young warriors into battle and that we would be involved in a life and death battle to take back what Satan has stolen. This warfare will help bring in the reign of the Kingdom of God. At the time this sounded far out there for me, so I put it on the back burner. However, over the last several years I have spiritually fathered and mentored young men that I’ve watched grow into mighty warriors for God. Also, in the ensuing years the original prophecy was confirmed by other prophetic words from people who knew nothing of the earlier prophetic word.

One of my long-time supporters and travel companions has been David Anderson, whom I met in 2006 at a healing retreat in Denver. After a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit and transformative healing from severe trauma and physical limitations, David immediately began volunteering with Wholeness which has continued to this day. David’s life-long friend Derrick Steele also had a powerful encounter with Wholeness in 2008. Both David and Derrick have traveled and taught with me extensively through the years.

Derrick and David have a ministry called The Warriors Path (thewarriorspath.org) whose mission is to raise up a new generation of young men who choose to live primarily in the Kingdom of God that Jesus ushered in and whose desire is to emulate Jesus in thought, word and action and to do the things that He did.

Though they both live in other states, David in Denver and Derrick with his wife and children in Michigan, they currently volunteer their time to help Wholeness Ministries. One idea we are talking about is to incorporate everything that Derrick and David have been doing with The Warriors Path into a new dimension of Wholeness Ministries, while still maintaining all the praying for healing, training, equipping, counseling and mentoring men and women that is the focus of our ministry. To that end, my hope for the upcoming years is to bring them both on board as full-time paid associates. We are praying that they will be able to raise their own support for this to happen. I believe that if Wholeness Ministries is to continue into the future David and Derrick can take this work to the next generations.

We are just in the talking stage regarding this so I would ask you to join me in prayer as we continue to talk and pray. We will of course be seeking God’s direction for Wholeness Ministries in the future. I am excited as I think back over how God brought these two young men into my life. They both caught the vision for Wholeness Ministries and along with me want to see it continue as we know this is a vital work in equipping those interested in, “Learning to Do What Jesus Did.”

Thank you for your prayers and support.

God bless,

Mike
