Mark Henderson: God laid on my heart to start Runners' Church Ministries in about 2012. However, the Potter still had some work to do with His clay. Ten years later, the vision for Runners' Church Ministries was reignited, and with the help of Pastor Jason Lee and our Church on MastersRoad in Manvel, Texas, Runners' Church was launched.

After downsizing "my life" where it fit into a pick-up and cargo trailer, I took Runners' Church on the road full-time in latter 2022. I am continually amazed that God counts me worthy to have a front row seat in all He is doing through this Ministry.

As I try to shepherd this Ministry to reach as many runners as we can before we die, I try to be faithful to teaching the Word of God with all diligence and a clear conscience. Furthermore, while runners are the primary flock we serve, we are quick to serve whomever God puts in our path--to love people as they are, how ever their need might manifest. We believe Jesus really meant it when He said, "...Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do to me." (Matthew 25:40)

Larry & Melissa Sharp, and Kyle Stockton (Waynesville, MO): In answer to many prayers, the Lord has raised up a 2nd Runners' Church! Larry & Melissa are wonderful Kingdom Lights: Serving God and serving people!

Active runners, Melissa and Larry are also Race Directors for the Bad Dawg Ultra and Frog Hill Half-Marathon. Melissa is also an Ambassador for the Bass Pro Fitness Series, Midwest Endurance Race Co., and Honoring Our Heroes Marathon, as well as a Hoka Flyer.

Kyle Stockton is combining his two great loves: Jesus & running. A fired-up believer who walks the talk, bearing the good fruit. He has a passion for the lost, including “believers” blinded by the world, as well as “the least of these, my brothers and sisters” who the world ignores, such as homeless, addicts, the impoverished, and others.

Larry, Melissa, & Kyle collaborate as a team to bring church to where the runners run throughout the midwest (and wherever else God leads).

To glorify God by helping all runners advance in their journeys with Christ.
