Christians in the marketplace can arguably be more effective in reaching the masses for Christ – but often we’re just not sure how to do it.

Our October speaker – MARK SHAFFER – will speak on “10 Ways to Share Jesus in Your Business (but we’re afraid to ask)” at the October Christian Business Network luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 9, beginning at 11:45 at the beautiful Ahern Hotel.

Mark is a Las Vegas native and has been in the publishing business for more than 45 years. He is a devout Christ-follower and active volunteer at The Crossings Church. For Mark, it all started in 1979 at his kitchen table during the disco era (many of us can relate to that!) with glue sticks and newsprint to create his first magazine, Let’s Go Disco. In the nearly five decades since, he has launched magazines in more than 60 cities, including MyVegas which he founded in 2010. MyVegas combined seven different Las Vegas publications into one powerhouse magazine for locals, and has spawned other local magazines such as MyNashville, MyTampa and many others.

Mark has also had numerous business achievements in the wedding, entertainment/radio, beauty/health, and home/garden industries. He was a candidate for the Nevada State Senate in 2022, and in addition to running a growing media company, Mark formed the “Mark Alan Band” several years ago and writes and records original songs infusing both country and rock. The band has performed often in Las Vegas and Nashville.

As Mark puts it, “With God at the center, anything is possible!” He uses his faith in the Lord to share the Gospel through his many business ventures, and looks forward to inspiring all of us who seek to witness through business and ministry.

As always, a delicious plated lunch with dessert is only $35, and we ask that you register and pay online at nevadacbn.com. If you can, come early for our networking segment between 11:15-11:45, and there will be raffle prizes as well. Looking forward to seeing you Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025 to hear Mark Shaffer!
