Sent by Carrubbers Christian Centre, Edinburgh, Mark and Helen first felt called to the mission field as students. Mark was inspired by hearing from mission workers back on home assignment and Helen through a year abroad spent serving in Honduras.
After getting married and working for a few years (Mark as an electrical engineer and Helen as a primary school teacher) the Lord continued to lay this call on their hearts so they have strived to be faithfully obedient with each step; researching agencies and opportunities, applying to go with SIM and ended up in Ecuador!
Mark and Helen serve with SIM Ecuador in Loja one of the least-reached areas of Ecuador, located in the southern mountain region. They work alongside an established mission team and develop leaders, teach discipleship and support disciple-making and church-planting efforts in the rural towns and villages of the Loja province.
