MS Chatt is a new series of conversations with the people behind the stories of mission and ministry. They share what shapes their faith and provide commentary on current events.
Mission SONlight Chatt Season 4 Ep. 37 Mark Mapes - Literature Evangelist
A book shared at the right moment can open the door to a new life with Christ. At the 2025 General Conference session in St. Louis, young literature evangelist Mark Mapes shares how canvassing became part of his family's faith story, how he funds his education, and what he's learned while sharing Christian books with strangers.
Mark traces the ministry back to his grandfather, whose life changed after an Adventist literature evangelist introduced him to The Desire of Ages. He also talks about his goal of becoming an emergency room doctor, the books and health resources he shares, and surprising encounters with people who stopped to learn about Jesus.
In the final segment, Mark reflects on Luke 10 and why he believes canvassers can encourage one another by working in pairs and serving communities consistently. Watch for stories from the field, a look at the literature he offers, and a prayer for those sharing the gospel through books.

Mission SONlight Chatt Season 4 Ep. 36 Tim Mayne - Fire Chaplain
A firefighter's job doesn't end when the emergency is over. Pastor and volunteer firefighter Tim Mayne explains how chaplaincy helps first responders process trauma, grief, and the calls that stay with them.
At the General Conference Session in St. Louis, Tim joins Mission SONlight CHATT to share how he came to combine pastoral ministry with fire service. He talks about supporting firefighters after traumatic calls, why listening matters more than trying to fix everything, and how chaplains can serve people from every background with compassion and respect.
Tim also reflects on his unexpected path to ministry, his years as a volunteer firefighter, and the advice he gives young people considering careers in emergency services or pastoral ministry. He closes with Jude 20-23 and a reminder that caring for people in pain is a practical way to share Christ's love.
