Mark Lee was born in Boone, Iowa in the early 70's. There he grow up in a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church and attended the local school. He had two parents that loved the Lord and did all that they could to encourage Mark to do the same. But in Mark's teen years he rebelled and found himself in trouble with the Law. Drinking and chasing young women took the place of worship and obedience to the Lord. While in collage, Mark met his future wife, Kelly and the two were married in 1990. They loved one another but faced many problems due to their lack of following the Lord. When Mark was 25 years old, his mother came to him and asked if he planned to raise his then 2 year old son to know the Lord.

Mark said absolutely my son will know Jesus. His mother than confronted him with the fact that he was living anyway but for the Lord. This angered Mark but he knew his mother was right. So begrudgingly Mark began to take his family to church.In Mark's own words: "I met Jesus as an adult and found that He was worthy of my obedience and respect." Growing up in Church, Mark had learned of Jesus love and sacrifice but Mark had miss Jesus authority and Lordship. Mark recognized that Jesus was and is more than Savior but that He is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. In time God began to transform Mark's heart and gave him a hunger for the Word of God.

Soon Mark was teaching Sunday school and nightly Bible studies. God than laid it upon Mark's heart to prepare for full-time ministry. Mark entered into a three year Pastoral study and became a bi-vocational associate pastor of his local church. Mark later entered Christian Camping ministry and served at Hidden Acres camp for five years. Mark went into camp ministry because frankly, it scared him a whole lot less then pastoral ministry. Well God had different plans and Mark became the senior pastor of an Evangelical Free church in Elkader, Iowa and served there for eight years.Today, Mark works with Global Compassion Network. A Christian organization that does compassion ministries around the world as a way to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mark and his wife Kelly of 25 years still live in the Elkader area and have 3 children.
