“ The Spirit of the Sovereign is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners”

(Isaiah 61:1).

Pastor Mark Borchardt

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to look at our website. My name is Mark; I am the pastor of Victory Assembly. My wife, Annette, and our family moved to Gothenburg in May of 2002 and have been the pastor at Victory ever since. Prior to coming to Gothenburg I worked in a family business. It was 15 years of time well invested in learning how to relate to people in a business setting. Because of that background I tend to look at things from a business prospective. My wife, Annette, spent several years as a special education teacher in Lincoln before staying home with our kids. Annette does a super job of heading up our children’s ministry. She is gifted in relating to kids and pointing them towards Jesus. We have four beautiful kids and enjoy sowing into their lives. Both Annette and myself have a passion to help people realize the freedom they can experience in a life devoted to Jesus. One of our favorite verses is “ The Spirit of the Sovereign is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners” (Isaiah 61:1).
