In this episode, Kristine and Elsie sit down with Mark and Rose Crea, who served with Feed My Starving Children for decades. Learn why servant leadership has been their standard and how the impact is more far-reaching than we could ever know.

Mark Crea is CEO Emeritus of Feed My Starving Children and served as CEO from 2004 to 2025 as the Lord grew FMSC from 3 million meals to 460 million meals a year. Mark is passionate about helping the least of these in Jesus’ name. Mark has 45 years of management and fundraising experience in national nonprofit organizations. He and his wife, Rosanne, married in 1978. They raised 4 daughters (their eldest daughter, Noelle, passed away from breast cancer in 2016) and they treasure their 12 grandchildren.

Both Mark and Rose grew up in St. Paul. Mark is one of 5 children in a strongly Italian-American family with a tradition of great food and big family gatherings. He loves to fish and rebuild boats at their lake home up north. He’s a man of many talents and a helpful Mr. Fix-It kind of dad whenever there’s a project that needs doing. He is humble, positive, and a true servant leader, with a booming laugh and a way of genuinely caring about everyone he meets.
