About Mark Huey
William Mark Huey is the founder and director of Outreach Israel Ministries, and currently serves as an elder at Congregation Beit Yisrael in Orlando, Florida. He resides in Kissimmee, Florida with his wife Margaret and their children.
Mark became a Believer in the Messiah of Israel in 1978, but it was a Zola Levitt tour to Israel in 1994 with his wife that sparked an ardent search for answers about the Hebraic Roots of our faith. By 1995, his family became members of a Messianic Jewish congregation in Dallas, Texas and their pursuit for truth intensified. Within a year, Mark formed a conference-producing enterprise called “The Remnant Exchange,” a division of Third Race Endeavors, and began hosting prophecy conferences and seminars with increasing Messianic understanding and emphasis. Mark’s business experience, owning a commercial real estate brokerage company, coupled with Margaret’s ownership of a cross-stitch design company, led them to form a ministry consulting business that worked with a variety of Messianic ministries from 1997 to 2002.
By 2002, after years of exposure to tangible evidence that the prophesied “Restoration of All Things” (Acts 3:21) was becoming a reality, the impetus to focus energy and attention on Israel, the people, the Land, and Torah-centered Messianic teachings merged together. The outcome was the formation of Outreach Israel Ministries.
From the beginning of Outreach Israel Ministries, the need to educate and to minister to the expanding number of Messianics has always been at the heart of the mission. The technological tools made available through the Internet have allowed much of the communication and interaction to be affordable and extensive. Developing a website presence that was informational was essential to extending the outreach around the globe. The merger with TNN Online and TNN Press in 2003 substantially enhanced the website capabilities and teaching materials.
For years, Mark has had a fervent interest in Torah study. His “TorahScope” commentaries are e-mailed to those every week who are looking for a Messianic perspective on the weekly portions, and have been enhanced by “TorahScope Live” audio broadcasts. Additionally, Mark writes editorial commentaries under the byline “Hue and Cry” that are germane to issues involving Israel and the Messianic movement.
Contact with Messianics from around the world has generated a number of topics that need to be addressed from a Messianic perspective. At the founding of OIM, since there did not appear to be a broad overview of the Hebraic Roots of our faith, the concept of developing an introductory study guide appeared to meet an expanding need. In collaboration with J.K. McKee, editor of TNN Online, the workbook Hebraic Roots: An Introductory Study was produced. Mark has also written TorahScope, Volumes I&II and Counting the Omer: A Daily Devotional Toward Shavuot.
Mark is a graduate of Vanderbilt University with a B.A. in history, with graduate studies toward a master’s degree in aviation management completed at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
