Ministry Focus
Living in Brazil and the Dominican Republic and participating in short-term mission trips gave Mark the desire to pursue ministry in short-term missions. After working in various fields over a 17-year period, Mark began to wonder if God would use his cultural, Spanish, and short-term mission experiences to lead him in a different direction. Mark then met with the leadership team at Missions Door, sharing his heart’s desire to lead short-term trips to primarily Spanish-speaking countries, as this was where he found great satisfaction and where he had experience. Mark was told that his desire to do this was an answer to a two-year prayer for someone to meet this tremendous need. Mark was appointed by Missions Door in February 2009 to lead teams to international missionaries and pastors. Mark’s vision includes encouraging and helping Missions Door missionaries reach their communities for Jesus Christ through children’s activities, construction, drama, leadership development, medical operatives, music, and pastoral training. Mark is currently the Leader of Missions Door’s Short-Term Ministry Coordinators, as well as the Regional Team Leader for a group of Missions Door’s missionaries in Colorado, Nebraska and elsewhere.
