M16 Ministries

We had an incredible night in ministry on Friday evening, November 28, 2014, it was the night immediately after Thanksgiving. Angela met up with Lisa and I as we did an impromptu Night Strike in the TL. As we drove into the city across the bay bridge I commented on what a beautiful evening this was turning out to be. Not a cloud in the sky, no fog. From the bay bridge we could clearly see the lights of the Golden Gate bridge, yes, it was one of those unusually clear and beautiful nights in the city. As we pulled into the parking area on Fulton, it was immediately clear there were an unusually high number of homeless people out on the streets this evening. Once we parked the car, we made our way over to the traditional meeting area of the horse statute with our bags of items to distribute to the people there. Along the wall of the Asian art museum, there were a lot of people bedding down for the night. We hung around the statue for about 20 minutes until the area died down from a...

I can't believe June is almost here. Where did the first couple of months of 2014 go? We're a small but very busy ministry. As most of you know, I have been pulled in from my old career for full time ministry. That cut my ministry team in half, Lisa is working 3 jobs now to keep the finances in the black for our household. A lot of my ministry has been solo, hopefully only for the time being, until we can work out this Holy re-org with finances no longer coming in as they once did in the software engineering career. Needless to say, I have been very busy and haven't really had time to produce a newsletter. I have broken down our activities in the following sections. Night Strike  For everyone who has come out and supported Night Strike ministry - BLESSINGS to you! It's an incredible ministry that goes out on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of every month and we minister to the homeless, drug addicts, and prostitutes on the streets of San Francisco. We work around, but are...

Night Strike Recap for Friday May 09 2014 Sometimes I wish I could go out more often on the streets and help serve these incredible people. It was another phenomenal night on the streets. The ferocious May winds were causing a horrible chill. Yes, the worst time to be in San Francisco is in May. Market Street was a wind tunnel. Some of our friends who endure the rain were already packing up and seeking shelter from the piercing wind. It was cold! We had a great time on the streets ministering to the people. One gentleman, Bob, who found the M16 Ministries web site, brave the winds to come meet us at the plaza and find out what we're all about. Rick and Rich, along with my son, Josh, and a woman, I believe her name was Kate, set off for the Tenderloin. Brian, Mary, Lori (Happy Birthday!!), Mike, and Missty, went down Market St. I took a team, Dennis, Michelle, Dale, Cindy, and Bob went over to the Bill Graham. We encountered lots of people on the streets. Some more clever a...

Night Strike recap Friday March 14, 2014 What a Difference Worship Makes! It's great to have a worship team back out with us on Night Strike. We see lot's of miracles and life impacting touches from the heavenly Father when we're out on the streets. But when you add a worship team to the mix and keep an open heaven - we see so much more going on in the street ministry. David and Josette Brown actually started leading worship two weeks ago on a wet rainy Night Strike. Last night it was a gorgeous night in the city. The worship music was well received. We had homeless and people just walking by, stop and sit at the pedestal of the statue and and enjoy the worship music. For those of you old Night Strikers, you know the leadership position changes when you have a worship team and you now need to stay back at the plaza to be the bouncer for them. It's San Francisco anything can happen. We had all sorts of people come by us and some even stayed. Some people tipped t...

M16 Ministries – Where We’ve Been in 13 and Where We’re Going in 14  I know it’s February 2014 and here I am finally getting back to what happened in 2013. In my perspective, 2013 was a whirlwind adventure for M16 Ministries. We equipped churches in prophetic street ministry and deliverance. We hosted extreme prophetic ministry outreaches at street fairs and New Age psychic expos. We look for venues that are crying out spiritually. I don’t disclose where we go. But it’s off the hook ministry. Why do we go to these places? It takes a special ministry team and God wants to show these people how much He loves them. When we come in the love of the Father we are embraced by the people at these events. They are in turn deeply impacted by the words and destiny spoken over them. IT’s been a long relationship and trust building journey. At these venues, God spoke to around 300 or more people in our encounters booths. Validation from God at a psychic expo As many of you know Re...

These days there is a real hunger for the "Paranormal".  Just cruise the cable guide and the endless array of these tv shows. These descriptions from the enemy can be quite confusing when ministering outside the church walls. Mike Norton, the author of "A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare - power to PULL the IMPOSSIBLE from the HEAVENLY REALM", founder of M16 Ministries, will give personal experiences and in-depth training on how to bring freedom to individuals who are trapped in this deception. You will not want to miss out on this supernatural ministry training! Mike will be presenting an advance class on Equipping for Spiritual Warfare. This class will provide material not commonly found in popular Christian deliverance books. In this session, you will be equipped to: Provide on-going pastoral care for severely demonized individuals. Understand why the current church methods of deliverance are ineffective with Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) survivors. Ide...

What Would You do if I Came to Your Church -and Wore my Wedding Dress? I am jumping ahead of myself here. But I think this was the title of the evening that unfolded last Friday night, October 25, 2013. Bob and Kimberly Johnson ministries brought a street ministry team down from Redding, Ca. With our Night Strike leaders and the team from BKJM we probably had about 30 people in all out on the streets with us. On this particular evening my team I was on was attempting to leave the plaza at Felton and Hyde, only God kept sending the people to us. Sometimes He does this to us, He sends His kids into the plaza to meet us. We were swamped with people from the streets coming in wanting supplies and some good prayer over them. We had one individual who came in, they didn't want ministry, I believe at first they wanted to mock us. This individual, I am going to name, Claire, for this blog, not their real name, is a transvestite. Claire came into our group with the preconceived notion t...

As I was shooting video for the VBLOG today I came across old video on the camera sandisk that was shot last Spring. Pastor Jimi Merrell and I put on a Prophetic Bootcamp - a 4 hour crash course in prophetic ministry. Here is an excerpt on that class. I open with discussions on mystical theology concepts, from Saint Teresa of Avila, on hearing God -  (latin locutio) locutions and the different ways we hear and feel God's presence. This was the intro portion of the course. Addendum 10/03/13: I wrote this blog on the eve (10/02/13) of a prophetic message spreading through the Internet and social media that God is going to execute judgment on Northern California with an earthquake. The prophecy was for Oct 3, or today as I add this addendum. Since my blog is on hearing God. I wanted to pipe in on what I am hearing. The only earthquake that s happening today are number of people scrambling in fear about this false prophecy. FEAR. It is a spirit of fear. The spirit of prophecy wa...
