Mike and his friend Sam spent five months experiencing firsthand the extreme pains of hunger, the constant uncertainty and danger of living on the streets, exhaustion, depression, and social rejection.  They were forced to depend on the generosity and kindness of strangers as they panhandled to sustain their existence.

His book, ‘Under the Overpass,’ provides important insight into the realities of living on the streets.  He calls believers to action, to step out in faith and risk bringing Christ’s love to the neediest corners of the world.
