Mike shares how he found Christ at Ole Miss—“the party school of the South”—and how turning down a prestigious banking offer led to one of the most defining moments of his faith. Their ministry now focuses on both spiritual and physical nourishment, with a goal of delivering two tons of beans and rice to communities in need while sharing the Word. Jaida and Mike also reflect on the early days of youth pastoring, when their group grew larger than the main congregation. With inspiration from Mike’s grandmother and a deep passion for encouraging leaders, the Campbells are committed to building up churches around the world.
