A little about Mark Grace...

They live outside Palmerston North in the rural community of Colyton along with 3 sheep, two ponies, a dog, a cat, a rabbit and we can’t forget the budgie!
Mark has a passion for Christ, his family, the student work and old American cars, actually it’s only one American car! The 67 Chevy Impala. (You must look out for one) While he thinks it’s the most beautiful car in the world Emma holds a very different view!
Mark writes “ Working with students is an incredible privilege. Seeing students come to faith in Christ and go on to make radical decisions for him is one of life’s great joys. Working alongside Christian students who constantly want to see the Gospel at the heart of the university is both challenging and rewarding. I love it!!
