Mark and Robin Sewell, Directors and Founders

In 1999, on our first mission trip to Mexico, the Lord spoke to us and said that He was calling us to the nations.  “Calling us to the nations?”  Our first response was, “Why us, Lord?”  We kept His word in our hearts and pondered on it for years.  After all, who were we that God would call us to the nations…no college, no Bible school, just ordinary people who loved the Lord.

Since that time, God has opened doors and we have faithfully walked through them.  We have been leading teams to Mexico, Guatemala, and Africa since 2002, and have been to other countries ministering alone, as well.  We have felt, at times, like birds that had seen everything from their cage, until one day the cage door was left open and the birds spread their wings and soared.

The Lord made a way for Mark to retire from General Motors, in Spring Hill, Tennessee, in 2008.  Who retires at age 49 with full retirement benefits?  Robin followed, when the attorney she had worked for retired as well.  It was at that time that we received another clear word from the Lord…it is time.  That is when Kingdom Connections International was launched.

We love people wherever we go, but God placed a special connection and love in our hearts for the country of Guatemala and instructed us to establish our missions base there.  We have now built a 3-level missions base in Jalapa, Guatemala.
