Approved and Beginning Deputation
Approved and Beginning Deputation
Much has happened in the past few months. We began 2024 with the wonderful gift of learning we are expecting our second child in September. God is truly good. Our desire and prayer is that the Lord would guide us and use us as faithful parents and stewards of our children.
In March, Mark’s brother-in-law went home to be with the Lord. It was very sudden and a shock to us all. We grieve as we miss him, but we are thankful to know that he is now sitting at our Lord’s feet and seeing Him face to face. Please be in prayer for his wife and young children, for comfort and strength during this time.
On April 7, we met with International Baptist Missions and were approved as missionaries to Spain with Tri-City Baptist Church of Chandler, AZ as our sending church. What an exciting time! We are eager to see how the Lord continues to work and guide us. We are now beginning deputation and the first step of contacting churches to begin scheduling meetings for this Summer, Fall, and Winter.
We were able to take a short trip to visit family in April. It was a wonderful time to relax, encourage each other and share blessings with them before we start to travel.
Our hope is to take a short survey trip to Spain to visit missionaries and learn more about where God might have us base our ministry.
If your church would like to have us come and present our ministry, please contact us using the contact form below to or by email. As we’ve mentioned some before, there are aspects of our ministry that we are not able to share here online, but we would love to share with you and your church.

Give me Father, a purpose deep,
In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep;
Faithful and true what e’er the strife,
Pleasing Thee in my daily life;
Only one life, ‘twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
~ C.T. Studd
Please be in prayer that God would give us wisdom as we travel and schedule meetings. We want to be wise and faithful in our time. We would also appreciate prayer for Katie and the coming baby, for their continued health and a safe birth.
Serving together for Christ,
Mark, Katie, & Nathan Sarhan
