Leadership and Curriculum
Being able to walk along alongside people is what really sparked our hearts when we read the mission statement of Many Hands. And we thought, well, that’s something we could get behind.

Their Role

With a passion for missions, Mark and Melissa have felt called to serve together as husband and wife. Hearing the call to Haiti, they plan on using their previous experience to walk alongside mothers and leaders in the community.

Mark worked at Unity Christian for 44 years in Orange City, Iowa, where he was a science teacher and coached girls’ athletics. His recent global experiences have included trips to Haiti and Ethiopia on behalf of the Luke Society and educational work in Liberia with One Body One Hope.

Melissa worked in education for over 35 years, with experience as a grade school and special education teacher. She also has previous global mission experience, working with organizations in Mexico, and Uganda. In Uganda, Melissa went with teams working with children and villages and as a board member.

Working with our Spiritual Shepherds, Mark will be impacting lives through his role as Director of Leadership Development, facilitating training and materials for local leaders. Melissa will be working as Manager of Curriculum and Instruction, working with our staff to create culturally-relevant materials for teaching. She will also be assisting in the First 1,000 Days programs held at our Love in Action centers.
