About Us

Pastor Mike Justice-- Director/ Founder

When I was 13 years old, I was stealing my fathers booze and was getting drunk most nights. I started getting rebellious and was a class clown and trouble maker. By the time I was 15, I was introduced to Meth.

For the next 33 years, I served Satan wholeheartedly. My life began to spiral downward. I had three state numbers (CDC commitments) for a total of 17 years lockup. I had an H number, a J number and a T number. I was completely hooked on Meth, Cocaine, pot, and Oxycotin. I was an avid IV drug user.

To support my habit, I was a major thief, stealing cars, cigarettes, tools, guns, gold-- anything I could turn into money. I also ran a chop shop. I didn’t care about anything or anybody but myself. Then one night about ten years ago, I was in Garberville, California. Prior to that night, I hadn’t cried for over twenty years. But on that night, I was getting high and I remember looking up at the sky, wondering why I wasn’t getting high. The drugs were pure. I was looking in disgust at my arms which were covered with needle marks, bruises and abcesses. I looked back up and started crying out to God sobbing uncontrollably like a five year old child saying from my heart to God, “Please take away this sick addiction so that I don’t have to live like this no more.” That was the first time in my life I ever cried out to the Lord from my heart. It was also the first time I ever audibly heard from the Lord. He said, “ dump it out.’ So I took the drugs and needles and poured it out and stuck the needles in the ground. I remember saying I was going to have a horrible comedown and not be able to eat for days. Then I walked to my house and laid on my bed. I went to sleep and I woke up in the morning amazed. I ate, I had no “comedown,” and only one needle mark on my arms. This was a sign from God to remind me of His power. The real miracle was that I never used again. That was eight years ago July 8th, 2000.

After a few more years in the world, I gave my life to the Lord and started to be obedient to His Word. Two years ago, He laid it on my heart to feed His sheep. That’s when Our Daily Bread Ministries birthed. Over 35,000 meals later, we are endeavoring to purchase and repair our building, which would complete phase one of our ministry goals. Phase 2 includes a forty bunk bed (80 person shelter), phase 3 is “Freedom Now,” a free 90 day, live-in recovery program and phase 4 will be expanding to unreached areas that have needs that Our Daily Bread Ministries offers and spreading the good news and gospel of Jesus Christ.

Orphaned at 1953, at seven years old, I grew up in seven different homes. I was kicked out of school in 1962. From there I was off to the Army from 1963-66. I received my first experience with God while I was in the stockade (military) prison.

I was saved in 1967 at a rescue mission in Oklahoma City. I attended Oral Roberts University in 1967-68 and Rhema Bible College in 1968-69. I graduated Rhema and was ordained an evangelist through Rhema and Prayer Mission Church in September of 1969.

I founded ministries including: “Jesus House” in Oklahoma City in 1970, “City of Refuge” in St. Louis Mo. in 1971, “Recycled Disciples” in 1979, “Holy Ghost Ministries” with Rev. Lonzo Haulsey in Kansas City, Kansas 1982 and again in Las Vegas, NV in 1988, “Kings Kids” in 1991 in Las Vegas, NV, “The Lord’s Table” in Gold Beach, Ore. in 2002. I have been a cook for 40 years, preparing over one million meals professionally and one million meals as a minister of the gospel. I love to “feed His sheep” both ways.
