Mark and Dayle grew up in Minnesota and were married in 1993. After doing youth ministry for about 10 years, they moved to Antigua, Guatemala in 2005 with their children to help pioneer a mission base. They joined Youth With A Mission a year later and were with YWAM until September of 2023.

In Guatemala they were involved in street evangelism, homeless ministry, heading up teams, and teaching evangelism. In 2016, Mark and Dayle moved to Japan to work with YWAM Tokyo. They started an evangelistic website there and an evangelism training ministry. They moved back to Minnesota in 2020 to work full-time with YWAM Minneapolis, and then in late 2023 they made the transition from YWAM to work with an evangelism ministry called Street Level and with MACHE (Minnesota Association of Christian Home Educators). They also lead short term mission trips.

Mark is an equipping evangelist with a passion to see the church activated to share the Gospel in their everyday lives. Dayle loves doing discipleship with women and is the outreach director and podcast host for MACHE.

Their vision is to preach the gospel, train others in evangelism, and to see the family equipped to educate their children effectively.
