Mark Neitz met his wife Jessica seven years ago while working together ministry outreach on the streets of San Francisco. While loving the down and out, they fell in love themselves and were married in Redding, California in February 2005. Their first born, Cole Aaron was born in 2007 and their newest addition, Liam David, was born in 2011.
Mark has been in full time ministrysince 1997. After 18 years of drug addiction, Mark came to the Lord through a series of miracles in 1996. The following year his ministry journey began.

Mark directed residential homes for men with addictions, many of which were coming out of prison. He also worked with incarcerated youth. In 1999 Mark moved to San Francisco, California to help start a new ministry City Ministries International, whose mandate was, "Treat Hell's Trash Like Kingdom Treasure and Love the Kids."
He continues to work on the streets of San Francisco ministering to drug addicts, prostitutes and homeless. For over 10 years now he has traveled throughout the United States as an evangelist training the church for the work of the ministry. In April of 2008 Mark and his wife began a new ministry called Why Not Now?.

The heart of "Why Not Now?" is to establish family homes for exploited and abused children around the world. He and his family are currently preparing to move to Vietnam to open family homes and create a safe secure environment for rescued children to dream and walk in their true identity. Mark's desire as he travels internationally is to love people and train the local churches and leaders to reach the lost at any cost. Mark's greatest desire is to see the Kingdom of Heaven invade the lives of people. He loves to see the Holy Spirit transform people through signs, wonders and miracles and most importantly for them to understand that they have a Father who loves them.
