God has sent Evangelist Mickens all over the U.S. and Europe doing His work.
“I came to the Lord at a young age, and I wanted to serve Him. I searched for my place and helped my father in ministry, but I truly fell in love with God and His Word in my 30’s. God took me to different parts of the world to come to know Him – not religion. Being married and then not married was a journey within itself. It shaped me as an encourager to others that are broken from this experience. I know that all that I endured was to bring me to that pivotal point of loving and trusting God for myself. God began to transform me until I did not act or even talk the same. I began to minister and teach His Word with passion as only the Holy Spirit could do through me. I could not fathom preaching because that was not my upbringing, but God called me and I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
