HELLO EVERYONE. My name is Chad Mast. I am 26 years old, 6 feet tall, I have blue eyes, weigh 170 pounds and my sign is the Cross. I am a very outgoing, energetic, optimistic young man that is searching for my true passion in life. I love to play sports; primarily golf and softball; but I love all sports and support ASU all the way. I have an older brother named Josh, who is a firefighter/paramedic; a younger sister named Taryn, who is in sales; and two wonderful and loving parents named John and Skeeter. Oh ya, I can’t forget our three dogs Brandi, Pebbles and Khai, who I love dearly, but thankfully they live with my parents. Thanks Mom and Dad.
I am a San Diego Native that decided to explore a life in the desert of Arizona in the spring of ‘99. I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in the fall of 2002. I immediately jumped into the lucrative field of Commercial Real Estate to pursue a path of financial success and have been there for the last three-and -a-half years. But, is that what God really wants for my life?
I was baptized Catholic as a baby and have always had God in my life, but I never had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ until recently. I was a pretty crazy and a free-loving guy until a few deaths in my life made me realize that I could not handle life alone. I asked Jesus Christ into my life on February 20th, 2005, and have been on fire for the Lord ever since.
In June of2005, I went to South Africa and experienced what three-fourths of this world is going through. God revealed a passion deep within me for the mission & ministry field that I never knew existed. I now know that one person can make a difference and have seen that through my mentor in life named Jesus Christ. I saw what a difference I made to the few people of South Africa and feel the passion to give more to this world that is starving to hear of the Salvation of Jesus Christ.
I currently have no idea where my path in life is leading, but I am willing to step out in faith and take God’s hand to find out. I live my life by Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all that you do, and he will direct your paths.” I know that I am on the right path, and I cannot wait to find out where God leads me.
