DESTINY MARKO
SINGER/SONGWRITER
Destiny Marko was born on December 16th 1994 in New York, NY. She is an accomplished Singer/Songwriter and inspirational worship director who is in love with Jesus. Her love for music was obvious at a very young age when she became fascinated with the church microphone where her parents attended. Destiny knew that microphone was for singing and when she got her hands on it, she was extremely reluctant to relinquish it. She wanted to sing. At age 3, her pastor would allow her to lead a song for worship. By the age of 13 she became one of the main vocalists in her Youth Worship Team at Crossway Church. During this time she was also dubbed an official prominent vocalist at her church where she was able to shine for Jesus with her vocal ability. Destiny chose Evangel Christian School in LIC for her High School years and studied there from 2008-2012. Again, she sought out opportunities to sing. Destiny was so in love with worship that she joined the Student Worship Team, where she then became the main Worship Leader. At the age of 17, Destiny left her hometown in Bronx, New York to attend Nyack College in Rockland County, New York. After Nyack, she began to attend Evangel Church in Long Island City and later became the Worship Leader at their church. She eventually moved to LIC, Queens, where she currently resides with her husband, Andrew Marko and her son, Colton Robert. Her husband Andrew is the grandson of Rev. Robert Johansson, Evangel’s Second pastor and son of Rev. Stefan Marko, the third Pastor of Evangel. Andrew plans to follow in their footsteps. For the past 3 ½ years, Destiny has served as the Worship Leader at Evangel Church and demonstrates a great passion for the community and outreach in her heart. She is extremely passionate about giving people an opportunity to experience what they feel they may be lacking – Love and Hope. Destiny has been part of various Christian/Gospel Productions and was a member of the gospel group, Generation Worship. She has also worked and worshipped alongside many local Christian artists.

9 Million Reasons
In my heart lies a passion for outreach. This Passion has led me to support a non-profit organization called “9 Million Reasons” which was birthed from Evangel Church in New York City. 9MR has been operating a food pantry and other community services since 2013. During the pandemic 9MR stepped up to fill a huge void in the City. With Demand for food surging as more and more people were out of work, 9MR expanded. 9MR went from serving 500 families on a weekend to becoming a full scale food hub distributing enough food to serve 9000 families everyday, 6 days a week. During 2020 and 2021 9MR distributed over 40 million pounds of food to hundreds of thousands of individuals and helped supply close to 300 distribution sites around the city. 9MR also delivered to peoples homes, people who were sick, or had elderly families. Close to 40,000 deliveries were made during 2020 and 2021. So many people in NYC have always been in need, however, since the pandemic the need has increased 100 fold. Even with things slowly returning to normal the needs still remains. Supporting 9MR means supporting NYC
