Mike Washer  Director/Evangelist for National Hoops Ministries

Mike grew up in Togo, West Africa as a missionary kid. He was saved as a sevenyear old boy and determined as a young man that he wouldallow his life to be used by the Lord in the area of ministry. God brokehis heart for teens when he was in high school. Mike met his wife, Nikki, at Bob Jones University where he received a BA in Teaching Bible with a minor in coaching. Mike and Nikki have four children and served at Westgate Baptist Church, Spartanburg SC, for five years as youth pastor. As Mike worked with the teens in Spartanburg, The Lord began to burden his heart for evangelism. In September of 2004, National Hoops Ministries was launched in an effort to both reach lost teenagers and to reach Christian teens in need of a genuine revival.
