Dan is passionate about seeing young people respond to Christ, follow Jesus with others, and invite others all around the world to know Jesus. Dan loves to introduce students to world missions. As students step out of their comfort zone, learn to depend on God outside their normal context, and experience God working in and through their lives it significantly strengthens their faith and helps lead them to the lifelong adventure of gospel influence.

Short term missions played a huge role in God calling Mark to ministry and he wants to help others have similar experiences that will provide clarity in what God’s calling is for them. His greatest passion is to see people live faithfully for Jesus wherever he chooses to place them and always take the gospel from here to everywhere.
