Hi, my name is Mark Foor. I have been a funeral director in Perry County for many years. During my years as a funeral director, I also served as a youth leader in my church. I also started volunteering with Shirey Little who is the club leader of the Newport/Greenwood club. I felt the call of God on my life to go into full-time ministry in 2007, after going on a missions trip to Haiti. After talking to Shirey, and seeing the need for a club in the West Perry School District, I felt I had found my place to begin my ministry. After formulating a plan and gaining access to the West Perry School District and the Carson Long Military Institute, I began my fundraising to become a full-time missionary/staff person for CPYM. After raising the minimum amount needed to start full-time, I began my mission on January 1, 2008. Since then, it has been a wild ride! I am blessed to witness God transforming the lives of the teens involved in this ministry.

My wife Melissa and I reside in Newport. We have two beautiful daughters and an adorable grand-daughter, two boston terriers and 6 chickens. (my wife’s) My favorite scripture is Psalm 91.
