Presenters
Mark Reynolds

Mark serves as an advisor to ministry leaders in our global city network that are leading teams that offer training, coaching and other core services to ministry leaders.
He also provides strategic counsel to leaders implementing the "hub city" strategy. Hub cities seek to increase ministry impact in their cities in partnership with our global partners through city-wide collaboration, starting and strengthening churches, initiatives that serve the flourishing of a city and resourcing other cities.
Before serving at CTC, he was the field director with Mission to the World in Manila facilitating church planting with Filipinos. Mark has also helped plant a church in Columbus, Ohio, served as campus staff with Campus Crusade at Oregon State University, and holds graduate degrees from Covenant Seminary, Aberdeen University and Saint Louis University.
Andrew Katay
-
Andrew is the Executive: Content and Ministry of City to City Australia, a church planting and leadership development agency linked to Tim Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York. This role enables him to work across denominational boundaries to be part of seeing a Gospel movement take hold of cities across Australia, which is a driving passion for Andrew.
Andrew is also the Senior Minister of Christ Church Inner West, a multi-site Anglican church in Sydney's Inner West, where he commenced 20 years ago. He has considerable experience in University ministries and has served as Anglican Chaplain to Sydney University.
He is married to Catriona and they have three adult children. The things that animate Andrew are sharing the Gospel, seeing God’s grace at work in the community of the Church as well as in the wider community through cultural renewal, and when he has time, a decent game of golf.
