Disruption

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This work by Mark is moving beyond describing multiethnic church ministry to mentoring change agents. We are a lonely lot, who are charged with an “inconvenient Truth.” Like prophets we are disrupters called to challenge conventional wisdom. While we often are not well received, we can still hone our message better. Mark can teach us how to trade in our “sticks and stones” for a common language to help us speak together, nudging our churches forward. What I, as a somewhat effective denominational disrupter, have backed into by trial and error, Mark is helping provide an intentional systematic approach to help disrupters unite to awake the sleeping church to its finest hour! It is not too late! “Wake up, O sleeper!” (Eph. 5:14) Dr. Alejandro (Alex) Mandes Director of Immigrant Mission/All People Evangelical Free Church of America As the world is turning upside down, the Holy Spirit is challenging the church to be courageous and boldly live, emulating the kingdom of God here on earth. Mark does this by seeking authentic relationships in shifting diverse communities. He is an authentic disruptor of status quo and fully engages the richness of our diverse communities.”
