CityConnexx announces new Director of Operations

Fri, 17 Feb 2012

CityConnexx is proud to welcome Rev. Mark Lingle as our Director of Operations.  Mark brings over 20 years of urban ministry experience and insights along with his passion for helping groups get the most out of their mission trip.

Mark worked for many years with our founder Rev. Dean Cowles in Indianapolis at Shepherd Community Urban Ministry.  He has served in churches as an Associate Children and Family Pastor and Youth Pastor, so he knows how important it is to reach at-risk children and youth if we’re going to really make an impact in our urban areas.  

Mark has had the opportunity in the past to work in the secular work force as the Director of the World Sport Stacking Association, traveling around the U.S. conducting and organizing tournaments.

He recently worked in the office locally for Rock the Range w/Franklin Graham Festival in Denver.  Rev. Cowles served as co-chairman of the event. In addition to serving as our part-time Director of Operations, he is a Festival Associate with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Mark is a seasoned urban minister and networker that bring a wealth of experience and connections to the CityConnexx team.

Mark has been married to his wife Diane for 20 years.  They have two children, Megan who is a freshman at Olivet Nazarene University and Caleb who is a sophomore at Arapahoe High School.
