Mike Peters
Our Spiritual Leader
At 4 Fires Ministries, Mike serves as more than just a leader; he is a bridge-builder and a spiritual shepherd. With unwavering faith as his foundation, he has dedicated his life’s work to a singular, profound mission: bringing the transformative teachings of Christ to the indigenous peoples of North America.
A Mission Rooted in Respect and Service
Mike’s approach is defined by a deep-seated respect for cultural heritage and a "heart devoted to spiritual enlightenment." He understands that spreading the Gospel is not just about words, but about consistent presence and humble service. Under his guidance, the ministry focuses on:
-
Cultural Reverent Outreach: Tailoring spiritual messages to honor the traditions and experiences of indigenous communities
-
Empowering Through Faith: Providing tools for spiritual growth that foster resilience and hope.
-
Community Integration:Moving beyond traditional "outreach" to build lasting, authentic relationships within the tribes and nations he serves.
Leadership with Grace and Wisdom
Mike leads our community with a rare blend of grace and wisdom, navigating the complexities of cross-cultural ministry with a steady hand. He encourages every member of 4 Fires Ministries to lead with their hearts first, ensuring that every action taken is an extension of Christ's love.
Whether he is mentoring new believers, organizing community resources, or sharing a Bible study on the internet, Mike’s leadership is a testament to the power of a life lived in total surrender to a higher calling. He remains a constant source of inspiration, reminding us all that our mission is not just to teach, but to walk alongside those we serve.

Break New Ground in Your Faith
In Jeremiah 4:3, Yahweh commands: “Break up your fallow ground, and do not sow among thorns.”
In biblical times, farmers often plowed the same nine inches of soil year after year. Over time, that top layer became depleted, while the ground beneath it turned hard and packed—this is the fallow ground. Though it sits untouched, this deeper soil holds the rich nutrients needed for a bountiful harvest.
Is Your Spiritual Life Depleted?
Many of us treat Bible study like those ancient farmers:
The Field: The Word of God.
The Plow: Your study habits.
The Crop: Your spiritual life.
If you’ve been "plowing the same nine inches"—reading the same plans and checking boxes without feeling any growth—your spiritual harvest will begin to wither.
Go Deeper
The nutrients you need are still there; they are just deeper than you’ve been willing to go. It is time to break through the hard, familiar surface and reach the rich soil of God’s Word.
Join us each week at Fallow Ground.
We aren't changing the field; we’re just changing the depth. Let’s stop skimming the surface and start digging deep to produce a vibrant, life-changing harvest once again.
Our Vision: A Unified Flame Across the Nations
At 4 Fires Ministries, we envision a future where the geographical and digital divides are erased, allowing the message of Christ to flow freely into every tribal community. Our vision is defined by three transformative shifts:
1. From Isolation to Connection
2. The Restoration of Identity
3. Spiritual Sovereignty and Leadership
Our ultimate goal is to see Indigenous-led spiritual movements sparked by our resources. We don't just want to provide content; we want to ignite a flame of leadership within the tribes.
What would it look like if we asked Jesus to come into our culture rather than making us leave it to become a follower of Jesus? What can we learn from Jacob?
Knowledge Sharing
Promoting biblical knowledge-sharing for a deeper spiritual connection through a proper understanding of the Hebrew culture that was the background for Creator's Word.
Encouraging indigenous people to seek healing from the wounds of trauma suffered by the misrepresentation of Creator's Word through a proper understanding of Jesus Christ's reconciliation at the cross.
