While cultivating a career as a mason, Mark has continued to feel a leading toward Christian ministry of some kind.  Mark and Tania have a great love for youth and children and have served in many capacities in their local congregation.  Tania and Robby first became acquainted while he was serving as a youth minister at Christian Life Fellowship and she was a teenager living across the street from the church.

Along with the Wolf family, Todd and Amanda Tyson, and Robby and Tracy Bradford bring The Bridge Team total to six adults.   

Mark and Tania are very excited about this new venture in their lives.  They plan to begin their two year term with their two children, Isaac (6) and Hannah (almost 2) on the first of September, 2009.  The Wolfs seek your prayers as they proceed now to the process of fundraising among family, friends and churches.  More can be learned about the Wolf family at www.markawolf.com.
