Mickey Freed an apostolic pastor has been an ordained minister with Christian International for over twenty-three years.  Before their ordination, Mickey and Sandie were successful marketplace ministers  as custom home builders.  Their life-experiences empowered them to also successfully pioneer and pastor a church in the Dallas-Ft Worth, Texas area for over fourteen years.  Since 2004, they have established Zion Ministries Training Center in Hurst, Texas where they are actively training and equipping the Body of Christ in the five-fold areas of ministry.  Mickey and his wife Sandie Freed pioneered a church in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area and were successful in building their church and in the marketplace as a custom homebuilder for over thirty years.  As an apostolic pastor, Mickey has had over twenty years of experience to develop significant insight as to how to implement leadership training and church growth opportunities.  Mickey presently serves on the Board of Directors of Christian International as well as on Dr. Bill Hamon’s Board of Governors.   Mickey has traveled nationally and internationally ministering the Word of God.  He brings stability to an environment of change and works with pastors and leaders to establish a solid foundation for church growth. 

Being familiar with church growth principles and working with leadership, Mickey is being transitioned from being a Christian International Regional Director to Leadership Empowerment & Church Growth Principles.   Church growth is something that every pastor or leader has a passion for, but rarely employ the proper principles to attract those of like vision.  Mickey's motto is "A healthy church should not be struggling to exist."  If there is a struggle, then it is Mickey's passion to empower the entire ministry and encourage leaders.   Mickey works with your leaders to empower them with success principles that help the fulfillment of vision. When a pastor thinks of fulfilling purpose and vision, many things may come to mind:  more money, a better building, a bigger office, changing of vision or perhaps even changing locations of the church to touch more lives.  The truth is, true fulfillment of purpose and vision has to come from those that are leading.  Equipping, training, and applying proper principles with teamwork, set the stage for a growing church.  

Mickey and Sandie reside in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area.  Sandie co-labors with Mickey and has authored eight books.
