Mark Baldwin – Missionary to Cambodia

Mark Baldwin

It is hard to look at any images from Cambodia without seeing a temple, shrine, pagoda or idol as 95% of the nation's 13 million people are Theravada Buddhist. Unlike other forms of Buddhism this form allows it's practitioners to maintain their worldly life and their religion without conflict. As a teen Mark was extensively exposed to America's “New Age” movement and now sees great similarity in practice between New Age adherents and Buddhists. He was not a Buddhist or a “New Ager” but rather a belligerent atheist who has now experienced the omnipotent hand of the Living God in his salvation.

Now, having worked for 15 years in the computer field; having been saved by God; having completed his Masters of Divinity degree at Western Reformed Seminary; and having been called, it is time to serve the God who saved him by going to the mission field.  That assignment includes teaching English, personal evangelism and discipleship, and church planting as the Lord enables. Mark's home church is Grace BPC in Cincinnati, Ohio.
