Mike Furches

The Keystone Kid is the unbelievable, true horrifying story of Anthony. It is a story that shows the tragedy of abandonment, physical and sexual abuse, gangs, homelessness and more. It is unfortunately a story many can relate to. For those that can relate, they will recognize the continuing nightmares that go from childhood through adulthood. With all of the horror, the things missing for Anthony was acceptance, love and hope. But through the horror, in the tragedy, Anthony learned to accept himself, found love, and discovered hope. He has appeared on national television, radio, print and various documentaries. His story has been featured on the nationally syndicated television show, Carman Times Two, and in Dr. Charles Stanley’s In Touch Magazine among others. One only has to do a simple Google to see a part of this extraordinary life. You will see him interacting with everyone from Rob Zombie to Billy Bob Thornton, and appearing in magazines such as Christianity Today and Time and other sources like The Canadian Free Press, Salon.com, The London Telegraph, The London Guardian and many others. He has sacrificially lived his life and served the poor, needy and abused because it is a part of his own life. He has told the story of Anthony to hundreds of thousands live, and the story is now available in print. Mike also serves as a pastor of an inner-city church, Mosaic in Wichita Kansas which seeks to reach out to those who have given up on church and want to come along for the ride. He also directs the ministry of The Virtual Pew, an online community of faith credited as the first online church. He has two grown children, Marathana and Nathan, and has been married to his loving wife Mary Jane since 1979.http://www.thekeystonekid.com/Home.html
