Product Information

After finding himself homeless, he says he received a warmer welcome from fellow rough sleepers than from people at his local church.

Pastor Mick is publishing his autobiography Blown Away: From Drug Dealer to Life Bringer , on September 15. Mick said: “It’s going to be based on my life and my story but with their own artistic license to make it into a TV show. On his journey serving the homeless and those suffering from poverty and mental health issues, Pastor Mick ran into the man who sexually assaulted him as a child. The Revd Dr Alan Billings is the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire and the author of Lost Church: Why we must find it again (SPCK, 2013).

One day, about to shoot a man, he had a spiritual epiphany which led him to God, and a mission to serve the UK’s most vulnerable. It was then Mick discovered he had dyslexia and a sight problem, which is now helped by wearing dark glasses. From feeding the hungry on a car park in the centre of Burnley, to providing free funerals to those in poverty and securing his own church building to provide essential care for people suffering mental health crisis, it's been a relentless 18 months for Pastor Mick Fleming. Mick will be sharing his life story at Made to Rise in London along with two other authors John Paul Flintoff and Lily-jo.

Distinguished speakers investigate those things in which we believe deeply – and for which we would be prepared to make a costly stand.Having already spent a decade ministering in one of the poorest communities in England, Fleming was a little nonplussed when the BBC approached him out of the blue during the first Covid-19 lockdown.
