Mick Veach shares how as the pastor of a large church he is inspiring his people to be the real deal

Whether smuggling Bibles, feeding lepers or working/living amongst a Muslim people group as a Humanitarian Pastor, Mick Veach's commitment to share the love of God has taken him all over the world.

 Mick has served as a Global Partners' Area Director for Central Asia and the Middle East, he has presented the gospel in more than 60 countries, been the Lead Pastor of a large suburban church north of Detroit, planted Mosaic Midtown in Detroit and has been the Lead Pastor of Kentwood Community Church in Kentwood, Michigan for more than 5 years. Their goal is to be "a church OF the nations and FOR the nations."

 Mick's desire is and always has been to see God's truth compel others to action and to foster healthy local churches that engage in evangelism and discipleship.

 He and his wife, Melanie, have three adult children and live in West Michigan.

 In this podcast, Mick describes how he continues to maintain personal holiness, integrity and humility even when, as a pastor, he is often faced with pressure to stumble and fall. He also describes how his congregation has grown into a church that is incredibly diverse but still enjoys amazing unity and love. Finally, Mick tells how, by example and word, he and his team are motivating the people in his congregation to bring non-believers to faith in Christ, and to help those who are already believers to grow into disciples who in turn make disciples.
