Mark is an ordained minister with the UPCI and serves as Senior Pastor of Uudet Alut Seurakunta (New Beginnings Church). His passion is to teach people the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the value of a real and living relationship with the Lord. One of Mark’s favorite activities is to teach from the Word of God in a one-on-one, or small group, setting. Glenda graduated from Apostolic Bible Institute with a BTh in 1987 and is also an ordained minister with the UPCI. She supports Mark in a myriad of roles that cover everything from housewife to office manager and beyond. Glenda’s calling is one of an intercessor, and she seeks to share her prayer experiences and spiritual growth with others through teaching. She is a prayer warrior, connector, and an avid supporter of the people that they serve in Finland.
