Mike Shatto was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to two teenage parents, a child neither of them wanted. To this day, Shatto still does not know who his father is. He lived in a dysfunctional family with his mother and her boyfriend who would beat, belittle, and ridicule him on a regular basis. Shatto is living proof that there is hope, however. You are not hopeless and he can assure you that it gets better. Jesus is still in the business of turning water into wine.
