Hattabaugh - Coordinator |
 |
Mark
Hattabaugh comes from a missionary family. He was raised
in Argentina (South America) where his family was the founding
missionaries. But his roots in missions go back even farther
because his grandmother was a missionary to Portugal.
After
returning to America and graduating from Bible College,
his ministry took him to many different places before becoming
the Pastor of a thriving, multi-cultural church in Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida. His church has over 30 different nationalities
and they have a Spanish and a Creole daughter work. He is
married and has a son. His family is a great source of help
to him in this great endeavor. His love of missions and
missionary kids continues as he takes a group of youth each
year on the Youth on Missions tour.
He looks
forward to working with MK Ministries to see that all MKs
receive the tools they need to succeed.
