Mike is an ordained minister, credentialed with the Assemblies of God since 1987.  Mike & Colleen have been married since 1986 and have three adult children, two sons-in-law, and six grandchildren. After ministering in churches for 20 years, they resigned their pastorate in 2007 to follow God's call to evangelism and founded Affect Eternity Ministries.

Mike's passion is to preach God's Word and to share the Gospel with those who don't know Jesus.  He has been interested in movie-making and long-distance bike riding since his teenage years. Colleen loves photography, creative writing, and video editing.  Both Mike & Colleen love to make music and enjoy working with kids.

The Parkers are excited to see how God is using their interests, gifts, and passions to share the Gospel in innovative ways.
