Dr. Mark Hausfeld is a distinguished leader, educator, and church planter with a global vision for spiritual transformation. He has pioneered impactful ministries both in the United States and internationally. As a church planter, Dr. Hausfeld's church was planted in the City of Chicago, where he ministered to diverse urban communities, and in Pakistan, where with Assemblies of God World Missions, he established Teen Challenge Pakistan, offering life-changing support for those struggling with addiction and church planted.

Dr. Hausfeld served as the Assemblies of God World Missions Area Director for Central Eurasia, overseeing church planting and discipleship efforts across culturally complex regions.

His work emphasizes holistic growth—nurturing body, mind, soul, spirit, and vocation—through developing a structured Rule of Life.

He serves with his wife Lynda, who founded and directs Say Hello: Serving Muslim Women, part of Assemblies of God World Missions Global Initiative: Reaching Muslim Peoples.
