God In The Ordinary: Mick Fleming

God In The Ordinary

Have you ever wanted to reach out to a homeless person, but didn’t know what to do? Perhaps you’ve seen someone living on the streets, but you’ve been unsure how to reach out to them in the name of Jesus. Can giving a hungry person a sandwich truly be revealing God to them? Today's guest is Pastor Mick Fleming of Church On The Street MInistries, a faith-in-action charity based in the northwest of England, where Mick's introducing needy and broken people to the love and healing of Jesus. Mick tells us how he came to know Jesus as an adult, leaving his life of drug addiction and crime to follow Christ; talks about his experience of meeting Jesus in a shop doorway, in the darkness of a freezing winter night; and shares how this inspired him to reach out to other people still stuck in poverty. Necessity and compassion drove Mick to bring food and other supplies to people who were desperate for help in his own community. The mission quickly grew into a now thriving and prominent ministry, even drawing the attention of British Royalty! Join us and learn how the 'two-cup Gospel' will help you reach out to those in need in your own life and community. You'll be inspired by Mick’s humility and enthusiasm. I’ve learned a lot from this edition and so will you.
