How it all Began

In 2004 Mike had a vision of Jesus and a call to reopen the wells for the Miraculous in the UK and worldwide. It was from this encounter that Ignite Ministries would finally be birthed.

Mike’s story started many years before that, on Easter Sunday 1986 when Mike was baptised in water just a few months after he gave his life to Christ. As Mike came up out of the water of baptism, he was overwhelmed by the love of Jesus and felt for the first time the tangible presence of God and was called into the ministry as an Evangelist.

Then, a few years later, Mike received a fresh vision of Jesus hanging on the cross after waiting on the Lord in prayer. As Mike watched, he noticed Jesus was crying, tears running down His cheeks. One of those tears landed on Mike, and he felt an overwhelming sense of grief and sadness as he saw hundreds of thousands of people heading towards hell. At this time, a passion and longing for revival flooded Mike’s heart.

It wasn’t until 1994 that Mike started to attend The International School of Evangelism, based at Zion Christian Centre in Halesowen.

In January 1996, Mike joined OAC Ministries West Midlands as a staff evangelist and, in 1997, became the branch director, involved in taking school assemblies, holding open-air meetings, and training people in all aspects of evangelism and children’s work.

In December 2000, Mike joined International Mission Support (IMS Mission) as the European and African Director. Holding evangelistic crusades in many rural towns and villages in Africa, Mike witnessed 1000’s coming to Christ and being healed by the power of God.

In 2004 Mike received a vision of Jesus and a call to reopen the wells for the miraculous in the UK and worldwide and in 2008 Ignite ministries was birthed as Mike continues to see many people saved, healed and set free by the power of the Holy Spirit. Over the past twenty years as an Elim evangelist, Mike has had the privilege of ministering around the nation and nations of the world helping to training and equipping the local church in Evangelism, The Prophetic and ministering in the Power of The Holy Spirit

It has had the privilege and honour to have served some of God’s modern-day Generals. Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Joan Hunter and also Richard Roberts on many occasions. While all this was taking place Mike had been based at the same local church Zion Christian Centre – which has now changed its name to Lifecentral Church in Halesowen under the leadership of Pastor Leon Evans.

In 2017 Mike felt the Lord lead him to join All Nations Church/Movement in Wolverhampton with Pastor Steve & Esther Uppal.

Now Mike & Susie lead a home gathering in their local village, supported by the All Nations Movement (ANM) & Apostolic Family of churches and ministries.

As well as being a part of the ANM in 2022, Mike joined the OSL Order of St Leonard’s, a monastic order with one desire to bring the body of Christ together and reopen the wells of the Spirit within our land.
