This Sunday, we hear from Chris Chase, the Strategic Engagement Lead at Open Doors Canada, a non-profit that focuses on strengthening Christians where faith costs the most. Chris continues our teaching on the book of Mark, focusing on Mark 4. He also shares with us about the global persecuted church. Chris is a husband and father of two teenagers, and spent close to 20 years split between pastoral ministry, non-profit fundraising & seminary administration. When not with his family or serving at his local church, Chris loves writing, being a sports and gym enthusiast, and having coffee, both on his own and with friends.
