Mike Hammer

Mike is a man that I want to be like, and in more ways than just wanting his last name. He started his ministry in a pack of RV's traveling through the country and using dramas with hard-hitting sermons to reach people in churches to make hard decisions. He went from traveling evangelist to set-in-a-place pastor by realizing that God was preparing him for deeper relationships and long lasting ties to the people he ministers to. In doing this, he soon found that to be a successful church plant you have to be soul-winning and hard-working in it. He went on without being a "traditional church". He uses seminars for all ages and arcades for teens, which is not too surprising when you find that he started at a golf course after his RV ministry. His seminars are marketed to non-church goers who are "spiritual" but not neccessarily christian. It teaches life principles to all ages for three days (the weekend). One thing I may disagree with, even though I agree with him on most aspets of ministry, from what I can tell, is that he said "You can only take people where you've been", and I believe that the "only" should not be in there, thanks to heavenly wisdom. I did very much enjoy his talk, and I hope that I see his church in the future.
