About Us
Mark and Katrina Willis
Here’s some personal stuff: I love a good read, a one-handed fribsee catch, natural creamy peanut butter, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
My wife Kat is the absolute joy and love of my life and an accomplished artist. A few years back, she graduated with a fine arts degree from ACU and has dreams of developing more deeply as an artist in Chicago. While in Abilene, Kat has worked at ACU making professors happy (Faculty Enrichment is technically what they call it) and she draws / paints fine art portraits (at least one a day!). Either way she helped me with getting into professors’ good graces when my grades got dicey. (Thanks Kat!) She was a part of this residency in every way, learning to live missionally, prayerfully, and simply. You’ll find her dreaming about art history, smoothies, sushi, and step-aerobics.
We kept hearing rumors from God that we were to move to Chicago to catalyze a simple network of faith communities throughout the major metropolitan area. So, with the support of family and friends, we took the leap. We want to see vibrant families of Jesus Christ pop up all over that city and beyond. For more on our vision, click here.
Please feel free to strike up a conversation on any of the posts on this site or via email. This continues to be learning at its best for me - the kind that pulls in the resources of many, for the good of all. Please enjoy navigating the site, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
