![]() ![]() Even though it was Mike's favorite necklace, he took it off and gave it to the man. He told Mike how much he loved the necklace that he always wore. When Mike was preaching one weekend a man came up to him. ![]() Mike would be one to give the shirt off his back. He enjoys GIVING and gets great delight out of being generous, seeing people smile from ear to ear! It is one of his gifts from Jesus. Mike is also one of the most generous people I have ever met, always looking for ways to bless other people even if it is a small gesture. When he hears a need, he will do everything he can to meet that need or find someone who can. He always gives people the benefit of the doubt, even if they have shown who they really are because he wants to see the best in people. He wants to see people THRIVE in the Lord, no longer chained to any addiction, carrying the guilt of their past, weighted down by shame, or feeling hopeless because He knows Jesus has a purpose for their lives no matter what they have done or where they have been. He will often meet people for lunch who need help, words of wisdom, guidance, the truth spoken in love, or maybe just a listening ear. ![]() I will hear him on the phone at different times, listening to people bare their souls to him because they are in desperate straits. ![]() After the gym, he will come home and study more. He may write a new series and/or work on the message that he will teach that weekend before he goes to the gym to train people. He reads the Bible, prays, and drinks a few cups of coffee. ![]()
