To Whom It May Concern:



I am grieved and horrified by this latest attack on Mike Warnke.  I

am not, however, surprised by it.  In the last several years we have

witnessed a systematic, concerted and well organized effort to utterly

destroy and discredit the reputation of ministries and individuals

who courageously maintain that there is indeed a problem with Satanism

in America.



I know of no one who has had a more positive impact in the lives of

young people who have been caught up in Satanism and the occult than

Mike Warnke.  I have personally watched Mike at work in at least four

live concerts.  We have worked together on various radio and television

programs.  We have also kept in touch by telephone over the years.  My

husband Randolph and I consider him a good friend.



Among the characteristics that have impressed us most about Mike are

his profound love and zeal for Jesus Christ, an inexhaustible desire

to see young people come to know Him, and a deep-seated loathing of

hypocrisy in the Church.



Mike's personal testimony and frequently self-deprecating sense of

humor have been used to win people for Jesus Christ whom few others in

the Church could even begin to reach.  This has, evidently, caused great

discomfiture in some circles.



It seems to me that the overwhelming amount of time, energy, and money

that has obviously been poured into the attempted annihilation of Mike

Warnke and others, could have more profitably been spent in reaching

the lost for Jesus Christ.



Sincerely,
