In November of 2000, Mike moved to Russia to help establish a Russian charity.  A little over a year later he and Olga were wed.  Later, the Lord gave them a wonderful daughter, Valerie. (You'll hear both Olga and a young Valerie provide the Intro and the Outro to each episode.) They have a home in St. Petersburg, Russia and spend time in the USA and other parts of the world. Mike serves as a pastor and teacher, ministering in a wide variety of settings. In addition to his businesses in the USA, Mike serves with Stoneworks International, a mission organization with projects in Europe; he partners with churches in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo; and he is the Technical Media Director for The Elisabeth Elliot Foundation.
