Shepherd Ministries: Four Areas of Focus
Ministry to those who have left the local church: Mark and Judi minister to believers who are not connected to a local church – those who are without fellowship, support and who have no pastor to love, care for, and teach them. Jesus had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. (Mark 6:34)
Ministry to University Students: Mark leads a group of local pastors and student leaders to minister to the student bodies of Cascadia Community College and the UW – Bothell Campus through Christian Fellowship Community (CFC). This includes both local and international students. Jesus said, Go and make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:19)
Pastoral Mentorship & Encouragement: After over 40 years of pastoral ministry, Mark is able to offer support and understanding counsel to those serving as pastors in local churches. So encourage each other and build each other up…, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. (I Thessalonians 5:11, 12)
Pastoral Care for Free Methodist Asia Area Missionaries: Mark and Judi also provide pastoral care to Free Methodist missionaries serving in Asia. They work to encourage and provide spiritual care to many people in different settings all across Asia.
