“With a gentle spirit Mark and Jane minister through worship and prophetic teaching. Their lives have had a wonderful impact on us, and many others in Japan through encouragement and timely words.”

Mark and Jane's annual visit is looked forward to by many of the Churches in our City. Each year Mark has brought the word of the Lord with accuracy, sensitivity and clarity. His insight and understanding of the Word and the work of the Holy Spirit is outstanding. We have no hesitation of recommending this ministry to you.

“Mark and Jane have come several times to our Church, and each time, they have been used of the Lord, to bring a prophetic perspective that is accurate, clear, and very encouraging. With that encouragement, they have imparted blessing, and ministered to us in a variety of ways that has brought lasting impact to so many. They also have been a great source of counsel to us as pastors, and to our staff and team, that has endeared them to us all.”

“Mark & Jane’s visits are one of our highlights of the year for our church family. Each year they leave us encouraged and challenged to pursue our call with passion and purpose. They always minister deeply with great prophetic insight. We are truly grateful for the ministry investment Mark and Jane continue to sow into both our church and personal lives.”

"They have clearly demonstrated their love and obedience to God and his plans for their lives. They have followed where he has led them in their ministry to be the hands and feet of Christ. Loyal and faithful always in bringing the love of Christ to the nations in order to expand his kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven."

"Jan & I want to take the opportunity to commend Mark & Jane Banyard to you. We have known them & appreciated their friendship for over 25 years – in that time we have also highly valued the ministry they have brought in two of the churches we have pastored."

"Mark & Jane carry an anointing to see prophetically into nations as well as local congregations & individuals. We have found in them a rare mix of Kingdom insight & a spiritual passion to see the Church revived & local communities transformed by the Gospel. Mark & Jane are always welcome among our people – they consistently bring an anointed word for the season & always leave a deposit of hunger for more of Jesus. We are grateful for their friendship over the years & welcome their wisdom & balance in all that they teach."

"Mark and Jane are a rare gift to the body of Christ. Over the 20+ years we have had the privilege of being friends, their uncompromising commitment to Christ and determination to follow His call to any place, at any time, without conditions, has been a great witness of what “take up your cross and follow Me” actually looks like in this day and age."

"The prophetic voice of Pastor Mark echoes in our ears, hearts and minds. We were immensely blessed and grateful to have received him, who not only love and cared, but literally set our footing to be able to walk on water to recovery."

"I am eternally grateful to the Lord for the Heart of the Father that Pastor Mark and Sister Jane have extended to the lives of people that God has brought to them. It is the revelation that brings the transformation within a person. They demonstrate the power of God through the living word in response to their obedience to Christ. Pastor Mark is courageous and bold with the revelation and the truth that he releases brings inspiration, correction, conviction and freedom to lives."

He (Mark) has had one consistent message as long as I have known him: KINGDOM!! And since meeting Mark in 2005 the message he carries about advancing God’s Kingdom (rather than man’s structures) has shifted the bullseye for our community in a way that has focused what we do in Japan. I fully commend Mark Banyard as a man who carries this reality in his DNA. He has the authority to impart this revelation and the character to live it out. Not only has he been a mentor in my life, he is also a dear friend whom I trust with my heart.

Mark Banyard is a clear prophetic teaching gift in the Body of Christ today. He is a ‘herald’ calling the Church in its role to expand God’s Kingdom in these challenging times. His authority comes not only from his surrendered walk with Jesus Christ and sound biblical understanding, but also from years of experience in diverse cultural situations and genuine moves of the Holy Spirit. I have known Mark & his wife Jane over recent decades, both serving in New Zealand and Asia. I commend their lives and strategic gifting for such a time as this.

Mark and Jane are anointed with the gift of ushering in the manifest presence of God, both in worship and teaching. They truly helped me understand the overwhelming love of the Father and how to surrender to his plan for my life. I experienced worshipping God in Spirit and Truth at a level I never knew existed. Breakthrough and revelation were ongoing for me.

One of the highlights that impacted my life was the love feasts we shared together at Mark & Jane’s table. We would sit together and share stories of Jesus and prophecy and ministry and then partake of communion together. It built a respect and love in my heart for the different relationships each individual had with God. I grew in trust with those people and looked forward to our times together. The food was great too!
