Joining us on Father’s Day is Bishop Mike Warnke. Mike has been a friend of the Pointe for nearly a decade, and has been personal friends with Pastor Ed and Karen for 15 years. We are honored to have him join us to bless the fathers of the house.
A little about Mike… Since Mike’s conversion to Christianity in 1966, he has authored four books and has recorded 15 live concert appearances and teaching tapes which include three DVDs.
Mike uses his unique comedic style to gain the attention of his listeners. His painful past history as a satanist high priest, hippie, drug addict, pusher, and Naval hospital corpsman attached to a Marine Corps unity in Vietnam has taught him compassion beyond compare. He knows, first hand, no one is too tainted for Jesus. The divers facets of his styles, coupled with his open vulnerable nature draws out and ministers to people bot in and outside of the Christian community. He is a speaker, teach, father, grandfather, husband weird radical, fun-loving, yet deadly serious minister who will deliver a powerful message to enlighten other to the eternal love of Jesus Christ.
Mike and Susan have been happily married since 1991 and between them have seven children, fifteen wonderful grandchildren and one great grandchild. In 2009 they experienced the passing of one of their sons; a mountain they never expected to have to climb. Their remaining children are scattered all over the country between Alabama and California. They cherish visiting each of them whenever the opportunity arises. The Warnkes now live in California.
God has developed ministry in both Mike and Susan. Along with the doors that God has opened for Mike to minster around the world, He has also given Susan an ever increasing number of opportunities to teach and preach in her own right. The ministry is bless of God when the Warnkes minister separately, but is most profound and powerful when they work together.
