Bio


I have been a spiritual director for 15 years and believe it is one of the most significant spaces to experience God. In my life as a pastor and a woman who has gone through personal loss, finding the goodness and individual care of Jesus through the practice of spiritual direction cannot be underestimated. In my own life, and in the lives of my directees, I marvel at the depth of the Spirit's intimate activity. It is joy and healing and abundance, all to the praise of God's ever-active redemptive love.

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus 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.
