Mark Ruegsegger

Mark has been a member of Maranatha for 22 years with his wife, Nutan. They have two teenage children. Mark works on the OSU campus as an engineering faculty and has served as advisor for the International Friendship (IFI) student group for six years. Mark's family regularly hosts international students in their home, and coordinates events at church, OSU and home to make connections with these dear students. Mark was a Small Group leader for 10 years, and in recent years he has served as an AWANA helper, lobby security team member and Wee Worship leader.

A verse that encourages Mark is Psalm 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." This verse is a constant reminder of the goodness and mercy God shows us as our Redeemer and affirms Mark's daily desire to please God in all his thoughts, words and actions.
