"You've heard the adage “it takes a team to accomplish the dream”. On every level - hiring, training, communication, and execution, Mike Buster performs, serves and leads. In my 4 decades of ministry I have partnered with Mike for 3 of those as he listened, created, budgeted and facilitated. He knows how to choose a team and how to train the team. Mike is the guy I call on for my own ministry and highly recommend to churches to both communicate and facilitate vision."

Dr. James Merritt
"In all of my years of ministry, I have never come across a more capable administrative leader than Mike Buster. He was a key player in enabling the growth of one of the greatest churches in the history of the Southern Baptist Convention. If there was a Hall of Fame for executive pastors, Mike would win unanimously on the 1st ballot! I enthusiastically recommend him to any church, anywhere, who wants to raise the level of their effectiveness and efficiency in carrying out the Great Commission and be at their very best in every area from staffing to finances, to leadership development, and to maximizing their ability to make disciples for Christ.
