Mount Hope Supported Since: 1990
Mark and Patricia Kinney we appointed missionaries in March of 1986 and have been serving as missionaries in Argentina since 1988.
Their four grown children: Robert, Charity, Heather, and Christopher, who were actively involved in their ministry, now live in the U.S. They currently have four grandchildren: Jonathan,Rowan, Mikayla and Evalynn.
The Kinneys have lived in the provinces of Jujuy and Córdoba.
Child evangelism is an important part of their ministry. Ministering in almost every province with their children´s ministy vehicle, known as the ICE CREAM truck, the Kinneys have been able to see thousands of children accept Christ as their personal Savior. Their ministry is based in the centrally-located city of Cordoba, Argentina where they have served in varying capacities at IBM(Inistituto Bíblico Mediterráneo).
Since their children´s return to the US they have been training Bible school students to serve along side of them in children´s ministry.
The Global University office also on the Bible school campus is part of their outreach in distant education. Mark is serving at this time as Argentina National Director.
The Kinneys continue developing children’s evangelism as a church-planting strategy in Argentina.
