ABOUT MIKE PATTON MINISTRIES
Mike and Pamela Patton, Founders and Directors
Mike Patton Ministries really began in 2001 with Mike’s trip to Honduras as part of a large mission team. After that trip, the Lord placed in our heart to continue mission work, and that work has primarily been in Honduras but has also reached into several other countries as well and continues to grow. While in Mexico with some friends on another mission trip, God gave us a vision to see one million souls saved! We believe in networking with other ministries to be part of God’s vision for the world so we are always trying to connect dreamers to their dream. We look to build bridges between people and with people. We believe that partners catch more fish. In 2013, we were able to partner with a group of over 2000 missionaries from around the world for a nationwide event in Honduras that we believe was historic and the beginning of bigger and better things. From there, we started the ministry called Faces of Dreams in Honduras, which has launched exciting things in the nation and in the hearts of so many people. Starting with only 47 sponsored elementary school students, we now have almost 400! Some of them have gone from elementary school on into college and trade schools now, and even into the work force.
Before that, we began served as Missions Directors of the great “Metropolitan Tabernacle” in Chattanooga, Tn. under the excellent leadership of Pastors Dr. Steve Ball and Reita Ball. Before that, we were with “The Grove” in Dayton Tennessee for 19 years with Pastor Eddie Suttles and First Lady Diane Suttles who have inspired us greatly and still do. We are forever thankful for great mentorship from our dear friends Dr. Gerald Holloway and his wife, Sue, along with Dave and Maria Skinner, who have helped us so much in learning about world missions and ministry. We have four children, Mandy, Richard, Cori, and Chris, and ten grandchildren. They are all signs and wonders to their generation and we love them dearly. Our parents, Ronnie and Linda Patton, and Bob and Hazel Cobb are also inspirations to us. They are incredible parents! We are so thankful for the people that God has placed in our lives!
Together, we can do more!
