Mike and Melody

Serving as Director of Campus Ambassador Ministry at Arizona State University.

    Mike, raised in a Christian family, made a conscious commitment to Christ while in high school. After graduating from college in electrical engineering, he served a two-year missionary term in Kenya. It was there that Mike first considered career ministry. After some volunteer work with college and young singles, Mike was appointed as a Campus Ambassador in 1978. He first served at the University of Utah, then in 1980 moved to Ellensburg to plant a new ministry at Central Washington University.
   Melody was a student in that group. After graduation she served as a CA in Ashland, Oregon until their marriage in 1985. In 1991 they moved to Minneapolis to begin a new ministry at the University of Minnesota. The winter of 1999 found Mike, Melody and son Matthew relocating to Tempe, Arizona to assume the directorship of CA at Arizona State University. 
   Mike’s plan is to develop the ASU ministry and plant other CA ministries in Arizona and the Southwest. As Mike serves as Regional Campus Specialist, he will have opportunity to oversee existing ministries, recruit and train new staff, and scout new campuses for potential CA outreaches.
