Loly and I met in 2005 while I was on a short term mission’s trip to Arica, Chile, where Loly was born and raised. We got married on October 8th 2006 and lived in Arica, Chile for our first year of being married. We were part of a small church in Arica of roughly 25 people. I was the youth leader and leadership teacher there, while Loly helped translate for me. Arica is a city of 180,000 people, and in Chile 10% are Mormon. We lived right next door to a Mormon Chapel and a Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall. So seeing Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormon missionaries walking around going door to door was totally normal for us. As I was finishing Bible college, a friend gave me a book by Walter Martin called The Maze of Mormonism. During the time that I was reading this book, God really convicted me and called me to evangelize the Mormons and eventually the Jehovah's Witnesses. In November 2006, we ran into two Mormon missionary girls and we started meeting with them on a weekly basis. Whenever we saw Missionaries walking around, we would do what we could to get them to meet with us. We became affiliated with Witnesses for Jesus during our time in Chile. When God called me to the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, I started writing to various ministries asking for their help. Witnesses for Jesus was one of the few ministries who responded with dedicated help and through this ministry we met Christy who was a real encouragement to us during this time. Witnesses for Jesus sent us a great amount of resources, for which we are still grateful to this day. To make a long story short, my wife and I eventually moved to the United States. My wife started working for Witnesses for Jesus right away with translating and editing articles. Lately, with the director’s time being taken up raising a family, we have contracted with the ministry to help answer website correspondence. We respond to emails sent to the main office and oversee the Ex-Jehovah’s Witness and Ex-Mormon volunteer email ministry team. We have had the pleasure of meeting many people through this ministry. For example, in the last year, I had the ability to help and encourage a gentleman who had a rough witnessing experience with three Mormon Missionaries. I talked with him for two hours, referring him to various website tools and giving him ideas on how to handle his next encounter with them. We have been involved with this ministry since 2008 and we love it! God bless! ~In Christ ~ Mark and Loly |
MARK AND LOLY’S STORY:Testimonials
I LOVE this site!
“I just wanted to write and tell you that your website is absolutely FANTASTIC and invaluable. Thank you so much for providing fantastic resources that true Christians can use to reach out in love to those caught in the lie of Mormonism and the Watchtower Society. I love this website.”
Your site is the best!
“Just want you to know that I love your website. What a wealth of information …I have been looking for a website to aid in my witnessing to my Mormon and Jehovah’s Witness friends. This is the best one I have seen by far. Please keep up the good work!!!!”
Your website is crucial in my witnessing efforts!
“Your website is crucial in my witnessing efforts to Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. I cannot get the Mormons to come back anymore, but I had my first study with the Jehovah’s Witnesses today. ...One has been in the Society for over 50 years!!! I was very intimidated by this. ...But the thing that really got them squirming in their seats today were the questions I got off your website regarding the use of the Divine Name. It was almost as if they had never heard questions like this before. ...thank you so much for what you do. God has used your talents in such a wonderful way to bring glory and honor to our King Jesus Christ.”
I appreciate the loving tone of your website...
“I need to say thank you so much to the people involved in this website! I am a Christian and have been in contact with a Jehovah's Witness for several months, and at the beginning I was very unfamiliar with Jehovah's Witness teachings. Your website has helped me tremendously. I feel much better acquainted with Jehovah's Witness teachings and able to question her on her beliefs, and point her to the Truth of Jesus in the Bible. I enjoy the thoughtful, loving tone your website has in pointing out the error of the Watchtower organization, and the error of Jehovah's Witness beliefs.”
Thanks for providing the documentation to back up what you're saying.
“I recently became acquainted with a girl who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, and I am a solid evangelical Christian. Despite our differences, we have become good friends ...I have had the hardest time talking to her about my concerns regarding the Watchtower because I understood so little about it. In my search for resources online, it is so refreshing to find a website that is not slanderous or based on opinion, but that simply provides the facts. Thanks for providing documentation to back up what you're saying. This is legitimate journalism and it has been incredibly useful to me.”
I Feel So Much Better Equipped!
“I just wanted to say thanks for the tremendous amount of effort it must have taken to put together this website. I am a Christian who has been visited by Jehovah’s Witnesses for about 7-8 years… I was online …when I came across your site. Having found what I was looking for, I continued on with browsing your site. There is so much useful information here! Recently, one of the young Witnesses that had previously come to my door ...came back to my door alone. … After reading many pages on your site, I feel so much better equipped to speak with her. …I hope to show her the joy that is in the freedom we have in Christ.”
