He is also working to develop a partnership with the Mayan Intercultural Seminary in San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, MX in the areas of pastoral training and economic development.
In working with local churches, Mike desires to see churches move from the status quo to a place of growing health. He sees leadership development, conflict transformation, spiritual formation, and developing a missional focus as the keys to this transition. He is trained in the Bridge Builder program developed by Peter Steinke. This program helps churches address the areas of conflict and move towards a clear focus on mission. He is also trained as conflict resolution specialist. He is currently working on a Doctor of Ministry degree at Denver Seminary in Leadership Development.
