She has been a mentor mom for MOPS International (mothers of preschoolers),has attended BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) in Dallas or in Kampala depending on where she is at the time and is active mentoring young people both in Dallas and Africa.
Mark and Margaret spend their time between Dallas, Texas and Uganda in the ministry house across from Uganda Christian University with a student enrollment of 8,500 students. The house is a safe haven for students needing a listening ear, help with their career plans and personal discipleship so they know their identity in Christ. Mark and Margaret do one on one discipleship, pre-marriage Christian counselling and help students who have been abused to be free from past hurts. They desire to help believers see how God sees them, their God-given skills and how God wants then to be free from past hurts and be all He created them to be.
