They've been happily married for twenty-three years and are the proud parents of five wonderful young adults: Hannah (22, married to Micah Linton and the  “Mommy” of Mark and Kathi’s first grandson - Aridai, 1), Jeremiah (21), Hadassah (19), Josiah (18) and Jesse (16). Distilling all their parent's teaching into one sentence, their children would say "read the Bible and do what it says!" That is the motivation behind all that they have invested themselves in.

They have been serving Jesus and walking together for over two decades and they’ve come to the conclusion that the only path that leads to total contentment is the one that takes them right into His presence. So, Mark and Kathi are passionate about encouraging everyone that they meet to draw closer to God. They are also thoroughly committed to fostering authentic friendships throughout the Body of Christ. Their greatest desire is to fulfill God’s calling on their lives faithfully and thankfully.

The Lord has wrapped them with a mantle of zeal that spills out through their teaching, as they lovingly unfold the convictions of their hearts.
