    I learned that the great faith adventures I had read about in the lives of others really can happen for anyone who dares to believe God. By all appearances, I was a seemingly nothing-special individual -- reared-in-dysfunction, emotionally-scarred, and thrice-incarcerated. For all practical purposes, I was a very unlikely candidate for accomplishing much of anything for God, let alone great things. But there was a great faith adventure awaiting me; and there is one awaiting you, as well. May my story be used of God to lead you to intimacy and then identity and then faith and then healing, because that is exactly what God did for me. May it be used to enlarge your vision, causing you to think big, see big, believe big, and stretch big for Him. May it be used to ignite your passion and inspire you to greater love for the nations and a generation.

The Lord has given Mike a strong passion for this generation. To see them equipped and living their lives to the fullest with God. <

      Extreme Missions is an amazing testimony of the awesome things that God can do through an obedient, laid down life.

      A few years back I went to Mongolia with Mike. It was a powerful experience, and truly a time of dependency on the Lord. There is a big difference between knowing something to be true and experiencing it as truth. Sometimes you don’t find out what you really believe till you get in a situation that exposes it. This is a book filled with amazing testimonies of truth experienced. It is an adventure with the Holy Spirit that is both inspiring and inviting. An excellent read for anyone who wants more of God in a tangible way.

      This book is an amazing testimony of the miracle working power of God. There is a power in personal testimonies and as Mike shares of his experiences in Mongolia, it is evident to see God at work in these situations. He captures the heart of God; as a God who wants to see people set free and lives healed and restored. The stories are well supported with the truth of the Scriptures and this is what makes this book so effective. I pray that this book will be a blessing to many people and change and transform the lives of those who read it.

      Author, The church that never sleeps

      It is a rare honor to be able to know someone who not only carries a message but is themselves the message. Mike Gehringer is one of those who have been called by God to trumpet a message born from a life surrendered to God. In Extreme Missions, Mike clearly lays out a mandate and strategy for a new breed of warriors in the earth. Mike’s message is not just a theory but has been birthed on the mission field where it was tried and tested. In this book lie the seeds for a great movement of revivalists who are burning with a heart to see nations given to Jesus.

      Banning Liebscher

      Lead Pastor of Jesus Culture Church

      As I read this book it became alive. Mike’s book is a powerful testimony alive with truth and victory. As I read this book my heart captured a sense of faith in a very heart wrenching situation in my own life. The anointing of the Lord is upon this book and continues to speak to me day after day. Mike is an over comer and a lover of His Lord and Savior and this book translates that in very real terms.

      Foreword

      Mike Gehringer is a new voice for a new generation. A generation that functions out of its high call. A generation that lets the appetite of the greater consume that which is of the lesser. A generation that knows no place but the high call of God. A generation of champions and warriors who want the lethargy knocked out of them and their soul concerns made to grow dim in the light of the eternal purpose. A generation that wants its priorities arranged by heaven. Men and women who refuse to cling to moldy paradigms of thinking and acting and believing. They are fresh, relevant, simple, nonreligious, and starkly honest. Truly, the Word has become flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood (John 1:14, The Message).

      I met Mike when he was a young Bible school student, eager and very hungry. ; He was part of a team that my Bible school financially backed and sent to Mongolia after that country opened up to the gospel. In one of the most remote outreaches in the world – truly a land of extremes itself – even in freezing weather, Mike did not complain. He along with the rest of his team members roamed the countryside in crazy, crude transportation, evangelizing Mongolia’s villages and ultimately establishing this nation’s very first charismatic Bible school ever.

      Written from an experiential stance, this is Mike’s story . .. . shot straight from the heart. He wrote what he lived and he lived what he wrote. The miracles were real. The healings were real. Limitations were broken. Restrictions were removed. Obstacles were overcome. One man partnered with God and allowed himself to be stretched beyond what he alone was capable of seeing, believing, and doing. More than a nice spiritual meal, more than good spiritual nourishment, this book affords an extreme makeover for the soul. It is freeing, cleansing, purging, and empowering. Like a spiritual goad – even to the seasoned minister of the gospel who has gotten stuck – Mike’s book will prod its reader to greater passion, increased vision, and extreme believing, living, and doing for God. It rekindles the hunger to see the miraculous and then sets it on fire. This is a great book coming from a young man’s walk of faith...

      Introduction

      As Jesus lived and walked on this earth, He shifted peoples’ paradigms and opened their eyes to a whole new reality and world that far surpassed what they had thought could be their own. His was an extreme mission that He went to extreme lengths to accomplish.

      Who, being in the form of God . . . equal with God . . . made Himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men . . . humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:6-8)

      Jesus healed, delivered, and set people free from any and all bondage. He made some bold declarations along the way, like, I am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He also said, If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:31, 32).

      A testimony

      Testimonies are powerful tools used by God to speed up the revelation of His word . . . the journey into truth, and, especially, to experiencing truth. THIS BOOK IS A TESTIMONY, a testimony being the statement or declaration of someone who is a witness. And a witness is an individual who, being present, personally sees or becomes aware of a thing. That’s right, this book is a testimony . . . and it is my testimony. I am the witness – I was personally present . . . I saw what God did. I saw the life-changing work God did in my life leading up to and during a three-year missionary stint in Mongolia; and I saw the confirmation of God’s word with signs and wonders following (yes, actual signs and wonders) while I was in Mongolia, as well as the life-changing work He
