About the Founders
Mark grew up on the farm that grew Durham wheat and raised cattle. Theresa is a city girl from St. Paul Minnesota. They met at her younger sister’s wedding.
In 2005 Mark and Theresa responded to God’s call to grow their family of 6 through the gift of adoption. Their two oldest daughters were completing their undergraduate degrees and their two sons at home were 13 and 5 years old. Their journey to adopt led them to Ukraine.
At the end of their 30-day stay in Ukraine Mark and two of his new sons were detained for an additional 10 days due to the required waiting period of the adoption process’.
The delay caused his unsympathetic employer to decide not to renew his contract.
Since it was only by God’s grace that Mark and Theresa were able to grow their family they trusted that He would also provide everything their family of now 9 would need to thrive.
Theresa shares:
“With 5 growing boys, we had a great need for food and not much money as Mark was unemployed for an additional five months. I vividly recall kneeling at my bedside and crying to God for help.
As He always has, He so lovingly provided for all of our family’s needs as an answer to those prayers through caring and generous friends and family and help from our church family, our Heavenly Father sustained us through a very challenging time and this experience became the inspiration to share our abundance with others in need.”
In 2011 and 2012 God chose Mark and Theresa to grow their family again. This time they were called to Latvia to complete their family with a daughter and another son.
