Before becoming a Christian minister, Pastor Mick led a life of crime and addiction. He was brutally raped as a child and was about to confide in his parents when the dreadful news came that his sister had died of a sudden heart-attack. Mick didn't cry again for 30 years, masking his pain with drink and drugs and working as a notorious underworld fixer. Until the day a revelation of faith unravelled his world, and he found himself utterly blown away.

Since that first call that set him on the road to becoming a Christian minister, he has seen miracles happen. He has been able to forgive the man who ruined his life and has helped him to turn his life around.
