Mark Bucko
Board Chair / CEO
Mark has loved Jesus all his life and was baptized at ten. From there, he became a nationally ranked swimmer and pursued a career in broadcast journalism, majoring in political science and journalism at Stanford University.
But God had other plans, pivoting him into a 15 year business career, mostly with Gap, Inc. working in business development, strategic planning, and process reengineering. In 1999, the Lord redirected Mark into vocational ministry where, for 23 years, he shepherded in three different churches, the last one being Willow Glen Bible Church in San Jose, CA where he was one of the teaching and discipleship pastors while also pursuing international ministry passions.
Since early 2023, Mark has stepped away from pastoring in a church setting to focus on international ministry in Moldova, India, and wherever God might take him to teach, train, and serve.
Mark and his wife Liz have been married for 42 years, have three adult children and six fabulous grandchildren. They live in the Santa Cruz mountains.
Alice McMullin
Treasurer / CFO
Alice has served on Response Network (RN)’s board since its inception in August 2023. Professionally she is a retired CPA and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.
As a board member, she is overseeing the organization’s finances as well as maintaining the compliance of the government’s rules and regulations for RN as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Alice met the founders of RN, Jonathan Zingkhai and Khan Lolly in 2019 through a short term mission trip to Ukhrul, India, where some of the current ministries are held. Since then, God has opened her eyes and hearts for the people there, especially for the children and widows who are vulnerable and in need.
She is excited to be part of the team in serving the ministries under RN, all for His glory!
Christiana Chan Secretary
Christiana is a Registered Nurse with a heart for service, always having been passionate about caring for women and children—a calling that naturally drew her to the mission of Response Network.
Though her background is in clinical care rather than administration, she stepped into this role with faith and a desire to support the organization’s vital ministries. Christiana is driven by a deep commitment to sharing God’s hope and is honored to serve on the Rn Board.
Outside of her work with Response Network, she enjoys exploring new places, taking nature walks, spending quality time with her husband and loved ones, and drinking boba tea.
