ABOUT LAKEWOOD MINISTRIES
A Ministry Born in the Fires of Revival
A WORD FROM PASTOR MIKE
Welcome to the Lakewood Ministries family
Pastor Mike and his wife, Nancy, warmly welcome you to Lakewood Ministries.
OUR STORY
A ministry born in the fires of revival
Lakewood Ministries LLC was birthed in the crucible of divine encounter. In the spring of 2003, while fasting and praying in a small apartment in East Texas, our founder, Pastor Mike, received a clear and unmistakable call from the Lord: 'Feed my people the undiluted Word and set the captives free.' What began as a Bible study of seven hungry believers in a living room has grown into a ministry that touches thousands across the globe.
From those humble beginnings, the Lord began to add to our number daily. Miracles broke out in the second month — a woman with chronic pain was instantly healed during worship, and word spread like holy fire. By the end of the first year, we had outgrown three venues and were holding services in a rented warehouse where the glory of God fell so heavily that people could not stand under the weight of His presence.
The deliverance anointing that would become our hallmark manifested in 2006 during a Wednesday night prayer meeting. A man who had been bound by addiction for decades fell under the power of God and arose completely free. From that night, a deliverance ministry was born that would see thousands set free from every form of bondage — addiction, oppression, generational curses, and demonic torment.
Today, Lakewood Ministries LLC stands as a beacon of hope and freedom. Through our online deliverance portal, anointed products, and faithful teaching of the Word, we are equipping believers worldwide to walk in the fullness of what Christ has purchased. The best is yet to come.

PASTOR MIKE'S CALLING
I was nineteen years old, sitting on the floor of my apartment in Tyler, Texas, with a Bible open to Isaiah 61. I had been saved for two years but was hungry for something more — something deeper than the Sunday morning experience I had known. I had been fasting for three days, seeking the face of God with an intensity I had never felt before.
It was around 2 AM on that third night when the glory of God filled that small apartment. I cannot describe it adequately — the air became thick with His presence, and I found myself face-down on the carpet, weeping uncontrollably. And then He spoke. Not an audible voice, but clearer than any sound I have ever heard: 'I have called you to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ and to set the captives free. Do not be afraid of the enemy, for I have given you authority.'
That night changed everything. I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I received a deliverance anointing that I did not ask for but that I have walked in ever since. And I received a mandate: GO, PREACH, DELIVER, PROSPER. That mandate has never left me. It burns as brightly today as it did on that apartment floor. Lakewood Ministries is not my idea — it is His assignment. And by His grace, I will complete it.
