My name is Mark Mannisto.  My family was one of the original founding families of Heart of the Shepherd.  My aim is to keep growing in my faith with the help of my personal family, my family at HOTS, God's Word and with prayer.  As your Discipleship Team contact, I look forward with humble understanding to be here for your spiritual assistance. 
 
I was born and raised in southeast Michigan.  I consider myself a Yupper even with this upbringing.  I spent a lot of time up in the UP with my family growing up.  I love my wife Debbie and my two sons, Nicholas and Luke.  I’ve been working in bank securities for over 30 years.  I know that my work helps many people to be safe in their work place.  My job does require me to travel within the 48 states, but not more then a week at a time.  I love the outdoors, so if you have any stories, I would love to hear them
