About Us

We both came to know the the Lord Jesus when we were children and were blessed to sit under the teaching of godly brethren who taught the Word of God. Mark’s home assembly is Central Bible Chapel, in Palisades Park, NJ. Tami’s home assembly is Bethany Gospel Chapel, in Worcester, MA.

Mark works in Nowy Sacz, teaching English and Mass Communication at WSB-NLU. He also helped founded Ampersand, a magazine for the school. Tami teaches our four boys in a private school (Believers home school) in the American tradition, mainly using the Sonlight Educational Curriculum.
Together, we teach the Word of God in various places in Poland. As Christians, we believe the gospel, teach the Word of God, and practice Christ-centered Christianity.
We work primarily with a brethren group in Poland known as the Free Christians.
We also work in Poland with Word of Life International, an organization that preaches the gospel and teaches the Word of God to young people
Word of Life in Poland
In the Nowy Sacz area, we lead a weekly Bible study for students on Tuesdays at 8:15 PM, a Bible Study in Popardowa on Wednesday at 5 PM and a Bible study for youth on Fridays at 7:00 PM. On Sundays at 10:00 AM we also meet with others to remember the Lord and to practice what is written in Scripture: “They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42).
