Our Staff and Board of Directors
Mark Peterson
Executive Director
Mark Peterson became executive director of Prayer Transformation Ministries in July 2009.
Mark has owned his own business for more than 30 years, and will continue to serve both in
the marketplace and ministry. He has been involved with Prayer Transformation Ministries
as a member of the Board of Directors. His heart is for prayer for revival and
transformation, especially as it draws people into true community with each other.
Mark hosts a weekly prayer group at his office that meets
each Thursday over the noon hour. The example of Jeremiah Lamphier leading noon prayer in
the financial district of New York City in the 1800s has been an encouragement to Mark in
this new phase of ministry. Jeremiah's faithfulness in calling business people to pray was
part of what sparked a great awakening in our nation at that time. Mark's heart and prayer
is that God will once again send revival when His people humble themselves and repent,
inviting God to do a transforming work.
Carol Madison
Carol Madison has been involved in the prayer movement in the Twin Cities for many
years. She is the former associate director of Prayer Transformation Ministries, but now
has her own editorial business. She assists Mark Peterson with writing and editing
newsletters, radio spots, and other ministry initiatives. Carol also serves Prayer First
(Converge Worldwide) and the Global Day of Prayer Minnesota. She writes and speaks on
prayer, with a special emphasis on prayer for revival, and is a part of the core team for
PTM.
Madan Valvi
Madan Valvi currently serves with Campus Crusade for Christ, but is also a part of the
core team for Prayer Transformation Ministries. He speaks often on the topics of "A
Life of Intercession" and "Prayer for Revival." Madan grew up in India, and
has an amazing story of coming to faith in Christ and being called into the ministry.
Colleen Thompson
Colleen Thompson has joined the core team of Prayer Transformation Ministries, serving
with Mark, Carol, and Madan in praying and seeking the Lord about the future direction of
Prayer Transformation Ministries. She is a prayer leader at Hosanna! Lutheran in
Lakeville, MN, and brings strategic gifts of intercession and discernment to PTM. She also
provides administrative support as needed.
