Bio


I transitioned from corporate work into full-time ministry in 2017 upon completing a 2 year certificate program with the Soul Care Institute, then completing the Contemplative Outreach process for Centering Prayer and Welcoming Prayer Commissioned Presenter. I began Spiritual Direction Training with Selah in the Fall of 2017 and Completed the two year certificate program in 2019. In the Spring of 2020 I joined the dispersed Order of Imago Christi as a Spiritual Formation Missionary. I've been practicing forms of a Rule of Life since 2015 and continue to pursue awareness of God's Presence. Pax!

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.
