Hey guys,

My name is John Mark Leach, I'm 19 and live in Birmingham, Alabama. I just finished my first year of college at UAB. 

I hate school and everything about it. The cost of college tuition could easily feed a third-world country.

As a rebel of "academic oppression" I spend alot of my time whitewater kayaking, backpacking, rock climbing, and playing ultimate frisbee. I'm a thrill-seeker.

As a "job" I travel with several worship bands playing electric guitar. I'm blessed to have experienced God through worship leading in some insane ways. I've also had alot of opportunities to play at some big events with cool bands like NeedtoBreathe, Kristian Stanfill, Casting Crowns, Kari Jobe and alot of others. 

My heartbeat is in missions. Carrying the love of Christ around the world is what I live for. I've been on trips to South America and the Middle East but my heart's always felt drawn to Africa, so I'm super pumped to meet you guys and make Jesus famous in Uganda.
