I accepted Christ when I was a fairly young boy. I do remember the exact moment of being born again. I was in the 7th grade at a Mike Warnke, (Christian comedic, evangelist event). I hear later admitted he lied and exaggerated a lot of his testimony. Don’t really matter, I only know I accepted Christ! Then, at approx. 12-13 years of age, I was mentored in the art of storytelling, object lessons, and in performing Gospel Magic from a very kind hearted (Fellowship of Christian Magicians); (FCM) member. His name, John Reeves, he was a Biblical teacher, and a past Missionary. Afterward, I decided for myself to go ahead and join the FCM as a Gospel Magician. I continued sharing the Good News through the use of Gospel magic starting at 12 years of age. This included object lessons, and on occasions, events for as many as 250+ people. I Believe that Gospel Magician is also a Missionary Educator! (Click Go on this side here to see a Performance by Andre Kole).

During my time spent performing in this young age, God removed most fear of public speaking. No more Mr. shy guy….. I ministered at many local parks and Rec. facilities, at our local Boys and Girls Clubs, at vacation Bible school events, at some local schools, at Children’s’ Hospital, and also at numerous other area churches. Later when older, I became a youth pastor, a children’s minister, a home church leader, and finally an ordained teaching evangelist. Karen is also a worship evangelist and song writer. We are blessed to be in ministry as a couple. We are both musicians and have led worship for traveling evangelists from around the globe and we have led worship at several TMCI annual conferences. We later joined the TMCI family ourselves in 2008 and received ordinations as evangelists. We have traveled a little, some in the Southeast, mostly Ga. and SC., ministering via bringing worship, teachings, and even some prophetic ministry; more often, just leading worship alongside our brother/sister traveling evangelists. Sharing the Good News of Christ is a great privilege for us. We Now focus on the C.S.R.A.

This work is the Greatest Commission we have on this earth, we all need to join with the work of the Holy Spirit. We were blessed in our youth to serve under Pastor Ron Fearneyough, who took us with him to Brownsville, Morningstar, and Toronto to see and taste the presence of God. He led us to receive training under Rev. Billy Graham’s ministry to serve as Salvation ministers at one of his amazing crusades. We desire to see all people set free, and help others who are also working in the Salvation field. Because, “The workers are few, but the harvest is plentiful” Matthew 9:37. We also have assisted as a stateside support team, for missionaries called to the Philippines. I have also participated in short term missions to Peru, and Karen has worked with and assisted Augusta Urban Ministries, we currently are making inroads, as partners to several local churches and ministries. We feel the call to begin something new, so we are producing materials for “Educational Evangelism”; through Christ centered games, and Educational games, this will be mixed with inner city outreach and partnerships. In addition, providing training sessions “Workshops” for many needed educational after school programs. This will simply help children who feel academically left behind, due to the covid pandemic. These programs are part of our ministry to be delivered to missionaries around the world, for aiding in their own after school programs, and/or for giving out to whomever they feel is of need. We partnered with our Local Christian Theatre (Flowing Wells Theatre). This is our expansive (Ministry Vision) and it will expand our current ministry outreach, this is so we can go farther than we have ever gone before. Due health issues we stepped out for a few seasons. In 2023, we were re-ordained through TMCI as credentialed evangelists and restarted Passionfire ministries. Future traveling, is likely ahead of us once again. So … here we go, in God speed. In Christ Jesus… Mark & Karen Daughtry.
