Followship

Marcus Yoars lives to know God, love Him, and walk as closely with Him as possible. In the process, he enjoys helping others to do the same through, among other things, his teaching, writing, and music. Marcus worked as a journalist in the US for more than twenty years, including being the editor of Charisma and Ministry Today magazines. As a ghostwriter, he has written books for several New York Times bestselling authors, and some of those projects have also been bestsellers.

Marcus currently serves as the director of the Mountain Bible School (Fjellbibelskolen) in Hemsedal, Norway, where he and his wife, Amber, have lived as missionaries for more than a decade. They spend most of their time training and equipping young adults through Fjellbibelskolen’s various courses, which range from weekend Bible-teaching events to a three-month discipleship course blending outdoor adventures with classroom education. Their passion for discipling and helping others experience more of God is the core of their ministry. Having been married for almost twenty-five years, Marcus and Amber are also seasoned counselors who love helping couples thrive in marriage.

Marcus’ parents were missionaries for almost thirty-five years in Hong Kong, where he was born and raised. That international upbringing shaped his worldview and has been invaluable in equipping him for living in different cultures. He and Amber have two sons, Brayden and Xander, and they couldn’t be prouder of them.
