founder and director of Kingdom Advance Ministries. Since 1995, Mark has been equipping and activating believers to advance the Kingdom of God on earth. He and his wife, Jane, travel extensively, ministering to the Church through the Word and in the power of the Spirit. Prior to this, they served many years in local pastoral ministry.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Born in Toronto, Mark grew up in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. After high school, he spent four years in England (the home of his father), preparing to work in the hotel\/restaurant business. He then returned to Canada to work in this field until he became a true follower of Jesus in 1979. Feeling called by God to prepare for ministry, Mark returned to school, completing a BA in sociology and an MDiv in counselling in five years. Mark has written two books: Entering the Sabbath Rest and Beyond the Cross.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e94c73b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e94c73b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4cc16e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d4cc16e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Jane Banyard<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29c82c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29c82c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As the co-director of Kingdom Advance, Jane plays a significant role in every aspect of the ministry. She shares with Mark a deep sense of calling to minister in the nations of the earth. Jane\u2019s passion is to see people walk in wholeness and freedom in every aspect of their lives through healing prayer. In practical ways, she oversees much of KAM\u2019s communication through the writing letters and reports, editing books and articles as well as bringing wisdom to the direction of KAM\u2019s ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Raised in a Christian home in Montreal, Jane studied chemical engineering at McGill University. She practised her profession for a decade, before joining Mark in ministry, homeschooling their three children as they lived and worked in several nations. Also trained in holistic nutrition, Jane offers Biblically-based counsel on how to be better stewards of our hearts, minds and bodies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a757eeb elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a757eeb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66b63bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"66b63bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rahel Oehninger<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-644d054 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"644d054\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Rahel (whose Japanese name is Toshiko Uehara), is a gifted linguist, fluent in Japanese, Swiss German, German, and English.
