Mike Francen

Mike Francen ist ein US-amerikanischer Evangelist, Missionsleiter und Autor aus der pfingstlich-charismatischen Bewegung, der seit den 1980er-Jahren weltweite Großevangelisationen leitet. Geprägt von der Heilungsbewegung stehen seine Arbeit und seine Schriften für internationale Missionsprojekte sowie den Glauben an übernatürliche Krankenheilungen. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Texte motivierende Impulse zu Glaubensmut, Gebet und Nächstenliebe, während die starke Betonung von Wunderberichten außerhalb charismatischer Traditionen auch skeptisch gesehen wird.
