Mark and Beth Bradley

Director for Mobilization

Mark Bradley, Director for Mobilization for OMF's U.S. office, is a good Bible teacher with a warm style and years of cross-cultural experience. He can teach a biblical perspective on missions involvement in an enjoyable way, yet one that challenges people to obedience. Mark addresses the heart issues of missions, and can help just about anyone better understand their responsibility in fitting in to God's overall plan for the nations. Beth serves in the Serve Asia Department.

Mark developed Serve Japan, OMF's summer missions program that uses teaching conversational English for evangelism, one of the most effective approaches for short-term workers in Japan. The Bradleys' experience in church planting and field administration helps them understand many aspects of missionary work. Despite the discouraging results for which Japan is known, Mark and Beth still give their lives to missions and to sending more workers to take on this seemingly impossible task.

Why? They understand that unless the people of God are faithful to the Great Commission, millions of people will never hear the good news of the Kingdom.

Mark grew up in the Los Angeles area and was serving in the Navy on a nuclear submarine when he met Christ. While earning his Bachelor of Arts in accounting at California State University/Fullerton, Mark with his wife Beth, were active in promoting missions among friends and in their church. It was during this time they committed themselves to serving the people of Asia with OMF International.

Mark and Beth have two sons, Aaron and Nathan.
