We started attending HRock Church in 2004 and immediately began serving. For eight years, we led a thriving and influential HRock cell group in Orange County that became known for its prophetic culture. Each week we were blessed to minister to spiritually hungry seekers and leaders both from local churches and from as far away as San Diego. Shortly before our move from Orange County to Pasadena, we raised up capable leaders to take our place, and the group continues to thrive today.
We have been Directors of the Ministry Team at HRock for four years, and each year in January we have the awesome privilege and responsibility to develop, train and lead the prophetic presbytery teams for the prophetic conference. Prior to becoming pastors in 2013, we served as deacons for six years.
In addition to Pastors Ché & Sue Ahn, our lives have been directly impacted by Pastors David & Jeanie Richardson of Firepoint Church in Tujunga and Greg and Becca Greenwood of Christian Harvest International in Colorado Springs. Paul Keith Davis, Heidi Baker, Benny Hinn and Kris Vallotton have also been a tremendous influence in our lives and ministries.
We have been married since 2004 and have two adult sons and one amazing granddaughter.
Mark
Personal & Spiritual Background
I grew up on the beaches of Southern California (Palos Verdes, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, etc.) and am the first-born of two children raised in a Mormon family. I was radically converted to Jesus Christ during the “Jesus People” Movement on January 1, 1973, at the age of 17. My parents and sister came to Christ as a result of my conversion. Soon afterwards, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and introduced to the gifts and manifestations of the Spirit, including prophecy and healing. My early spiritual foundation was forged by attending worship services in which the presence of God was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Hunger for intimacy with the Godhead drove me to spend hours praying in the Holy Spirit, a practice which still fuels my ministry and passion today. I was blessed to attend the Benny Hinn Signs and Wonders School of Ministry, a powerful and vital equipping experience for me. I graduated in 2008. Currently, I am completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Practical Ministry at Wagner Leadership Institute.
Vision & Passion
Although introduced to prophetic manifestations of the Spirit over 30 years ago, my growth in prophetic ministry began to accelerate in 2004 when I joined HRock and learned to be “instant in season and out” (2 Tim. 4:2). After directing the ministry team for a few years, I began feeling the call to move toward equipping and started a prophetic mentoring class. The class provides a safe place for people to learn to be Christlike, effective, precise and accurate in their ministry. My passion is to partner with people to help them discover intimacy with the Godhead and from the position of intimacy begin living in their calling and destiny. I enjoy helping people identify barriers to living in their destiny and praying with them to experience the breakthrough and provision that enables them to carry out their vision. I also have a heart to equip a prophetic generation that is called to the nations.
Life Verse
Actually, my life verse is the ENTIRE Bible—including the maps and concordance in my Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible. But Isaiah 45:1-3 says it best:
“Thus says the Lord to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: ‘I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.'”
Professional Background
I have worked in the commercial construction industry for more than 30 years. Over the past 20 years, with God’s wisdom and favor, I have become an accomplished manager of complex commercial and high-end building and improvement projects.
Hobbies
Painting, sketching and eating good food
Rebecca
Personal & Spiritual Background
I was born and raised in the Philippines and emigrated to the U.S. in 2004. Although born into a Christian family, at the age of 15 I decided to give my life to Christ. I grew up in a Pentecostal church where spiritual hunger was great and I flourished because I regularly felt the tangible presence and glory of God. I jumped into children’s ministry shortly after my conversion. From age 18 until age 20, I served as president of the young adult ministry in my denominational region. The young adult ministry was comprised of teens and adults between the ages of 16 and 35. Also, because I had a good ear, I was appointed the ministry’s choir director.
In 2008, I graduated from the Benny Hinn Signs and Wonder School of Ministry, a tremendous equipping experience. I am currently completing a Master’s degree in Practical Ministry from Wagner Leadership Institute.
Passion & Vision
I have been a teacher in HRock children’s ministry (Kids Rock) since 2004 and have served as Kids Rock Administrative Supervisor since 2005. I long to see children all over the world love and have a personal relationship with Jesus. I keenly remember the intimacy I felt with the Holy Spirit as a child and teenager. This fuels my passion to see the children of HRock Church desire the Holy Spirit more than anything else. I want them to hunger for the Word of God, to have it written on their hearts. I want to equip them to really know who they are in Christ.
Life Verse
Hebrews 13:8 – “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
