	As a Vancouverite for the last 5 years and a Michigander for 13 years before that, Mark is ecstatic to be part of the Thunder Bay community and Redwood Park church. Working with Youth With a Mission for the last 5 years has given Mark more perspective on how to care for the lost and hurting as well as teaching me more about compassion. Mark is married to a wonderful woman and together they are raising 3 great kids. The Davenports are super excited to have purchased a home here in Thunder Bay and can't wait to begin living the adventure they have so longed for since moving to Vancouver in 2004. Mark loves people and hopes to meet many new friends in this next season of his life.

	Michael found his way to Thunder Bay after being a year out of college and living the musician's lifestyle in his home town of Nashville, Tennessee. Having a heart for students, a strong passion for relationships and always being in new places doing new things, the opportunity to live in Confederation College's Residence as an in-house pastoral residence intern really excited him. While Doug may give him a hard time about his lack of sleep habits, it's those very things which he enjoys: late late nights with students who don't sleep, talking into the wee hours of morning, and co-leading the collegiate ministry Threshold on Tuesday nights at Redwood. In his spare time, you can find Michael sneaking some time playing the drums.
