Mark and Anjali are located in Swaziland, a small, landlocked country within South Africa and bordered by Mozambique.
Mark’s first mission trip was to Mexico in 1977 through Adventures in Missions; he was 20 years old.
Mark considers his call to missions as something that happened over time and as a result of many personal experiences: through a trip with Adventures in Missions; his experience as a foreign student in Israel (from 1979 – 1981); becoming a Missionary Associate to Kenya, Mauritius, and Tanzania in 1985 – 1987; and his cross-cultural marriage to Anjali, who is from Mauritius.

Thailand has a population of around 70 million people. The country of Thailand is primarily Buddhist, roughly 5% Muslim, and around 1% believed to be Christian (as of 2021 according to the department of religious affairs). We will be staying in Chiang Mai Thailand which has a population of close to 2 million people and thrives on tourists coming from all around the world. From our experiences in Chiang Mai, there are a lot of young children who are open to hearing more about the Gospel and their parents are Buddhists. We are excited to go to Thailand as a family with young children to hopefully make more connections with families who are in a similar stage of life.

I’m serving all over the continent of Africa. At the moment, leadership has asked me to temporarily base out of Springfield with the Africa’s Hope team here until a decision is made about where on the continent a new Africa’s Hope team will be based. Until then, I’m traveling regularly to different countries around Africa to teach, meet with church leaders and translation teams, and be involved with a variety of other ministry.

The population of Germany is currently 84 Million plus and has grown significantly through the influx of refugees from the Middle-East, Africa and most recently from Ukraine.
