A life of God’s grace and living faith in global ministry.
Mark S. Case
Mark was born again at the age of nine and sensed a call to Christian service early as a young teenager. He was raised in a strong Christian home in a small southern town in the United States, where a love for God’s Word was established from childhood. At age nineteen, while working on the Mississippi River, he experienced a life-defining encounter with God as he received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit while seeking the Lord in private.
He later attended Liberty Bible College, where he received formal biblical training with an emphasis on missions. In 1976, he married his wife Debbie, and together they have built a family that now includes children and grandchildren who continue to grow in their faith.
Business & Professional Background
Before entering full-time ministry, Mark spent many years in the business world. He worked as a design-build manager constructing commercial properties throughout the southeastern United States, later becoming a licensed contractor and developer. He also founded and operated a successful environmental waste management company in Mississippi and held leadership roles in multiple business ventures, including serving as a CEO and managing partner.
Call to Ministry
At the age of forty, Mark stepped away from his professional career to follow a clear call into full-time ministry. He was recognized and ordained by local churches in the United States and in Santiago, Chile.
In 1997, he and his family moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in childlike faith and obedience to the Lord, beginning with minimal resources and no established connections. From that point forward, his ministry grew rapidly as he began preaching in many churches and teaching local church leaders, calling all out of religious forms and into God’s way for His greater glory.
Global Ministry
Over the following years, Mark ministered extensively throughout South America and eventually across multiple continents. His work has included preaching in churches, leading pastor and leadership conferences, teaching in Bible seminaries, and strengthening believers in regions facing persecution.
He has spoken in numerous countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, including serving as a keynote speaker at nationwide leadership gatherings.His ministry has also included organizing and leading Christian leadership events for pastors in persecuted countries as well as launching and maintaining a mobile Bible school for village pastors in India.
Today, he continues to teach and disciple leaders internationally through both in-person and online ministry.
Teaching, Media & Writing
In addition to his speaking and teaching, Mark has contributed to Christian media through television and radio broadcasts and has written for international Christian publications.
He is the author of a book addressing the spiritual condition of the Church and continues to publish The Last Days Times, a publication focused on biblical insight for the times in which we live.
Ministry Focus
While he has served in local church leadership roles at various times, his primary calling has been to minister to the broader body of Christ. His work has also included humanitarian efforts, helping provide clean water and support for churches in underserved regions.
In Summary
Mark’s life and ministry prove God’s grace and faithfulness through Mark’s many shortcomings and trials while seeking to consistently follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. He and Debbie remain devoted to teaching the Word, strengthening the body of Christ, and pointing others to Jesus.
Podcast & Ministry Contributors
Podcast Co-Host: Fred Deaton
Fred Deaton serves alongside Mark S. Case as co-host of The Last Church Podcast, bringing a powerful testimony of transformation and a passion for sharing the truth of God’s Word.
Fred Deaton’s life is a testimony of God’s redeeming power and transforming grace. Raised in Dallas, Texas, within a religious background but without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he came to believe in Christ at a young age but spent many years pursuing a life centered on success, pleasure, and addiction.
Fred built a successful career in finance and investment management, living and working in multiple cities across the United States. Along the way, he married and raised two daughters, but his life became increasingly marked by substance abuse, destructive patterns, and spiritual emptiness that ultimately led to a personal crisis.
In a moment of deep brokenness, Fred experienced a life-changing encounter with the Lord. Alone, exhausted, and searching for answers, he opened a Bible and, for the first time, fully believed its truth. That moment marked the beginning of a complete transformation.
Since then, Fred has devoted his life to following Jesus Christ, leaving behind his former way of life and growing in faith through the work of the Holy Spirit. He is actively involved in church life, Bible study, and personal ministry, and he shares his faith regularly through teaching, fellowship, and outreach.
Today, Fred serves alongside Mark S. Case as co-host of The Last Church Podcast, bringing a unique perspective shaped by his personal journey of redemption. His life reflects a deep commitment to Christ and a desire to glorify Him daily.
