Pastor Michael Wareing
was saved in a small Baptist church in New Hampshire, where he spent most of his early life and young adult years. After studying in Pensacola, he worked as a teacher for many years at the Christian school in New Hampshire before accepting the call to head to California as a missionary to local churches. He settled in as a helper around Wolf Mountain Camps in Grass Valley, California, where he served the youth as both a teen camp director, science camp teacher, and school administrator (among other jobs as needed). During this ti
me, he developed a close connection with several churches in the area, providing resources and pulpit supply. When he left Wolf Mountain, Mike stayed in the region, working a secular job and helping churches as needed, providing help to churches with pastors either needed respite or simply providing pulpit supply for churches missing pastors.

Debbie was also saved in the same small church, attended the same college, and has been his traveling companion and partner ever since. Her valuable skills in the area of design, music, and general concern for those around her (as well as her unflagging energy levels to keep up with the demands of four children and an active ministry) have made her a crucial partner in the ministry.
