Mark and Megan Mantey

Serving the Lord in Africa

Bio

Mark and Megan Mantey serve the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod as career missionaries in Africa, based in Nairobi, Kenya. Mark serves as associate regional business manager and assists with, implements and manages financial practices for the field and the missionaries. As regional coordinator for care and development, Megan works with local church bodies throughout Africa by organizing, teaching and participating in church leadership conferences and training opportunities. She also oversees and manages care ministries for the Africa region’s missionaries. Before their time in Kenya, Mark and Megan served in Uganda for six years. Through these interactions in finance, education and care, Mark and Megan actively share the love of Christ and proclaim the Gospel through their vocations.

Mark has roots in Wisconsin and Iowa but grew up in Wilmington, N.C. He earned his B.S. in accounting from Colorado State University. Prior to becoming a missionary, Mark worked for 20 years in a family business, primarily as the vice-president of sales. When Mark is not working, he enjoys watching DIY programs for whatever project he is thinking about at that moment. He and Megan also like exploring new places together and finding humor in everyday situations.

Megan (Flannery) was born in southern California and grew up in different parts of the western United States. She received her bachelor’s degree in Christian education and her director of Christian education (DCE) certification from Concordia University, Portland, Ore. She earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Campbell University, Buies Creek, N.C., and she is currently pursuing a Ph.D. from Oregon State University in counseling. Megan was a DCE in North Carolina and Virginia and a mental health therapist before serving on the international mission field. In addition to exploring new places with Mark, Megan maintains a part-time counseling practice.
