After taking several years of counseling training at Faith, my husband and I began discipling a young couple in our church. For more support, we sent them to Mark who poured Truth into them every week for about a year. We greatly appreciated the biblical teachings they learned from him.

Mark was the minister speaking on the day that I decided that Faith was going to be our church. He was so knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. We were destressed by the changes we saw and could not understand. We will look for Mark when we join the heavenly fold.

Mark was a huge encouragement to me and my wife early in our ministry and then later as I worked scheduling him for biblical counseling training conferences. I greatly enjoyed his stories, love for my family, and his constant encouragement to follow God's Word. I was very grieved when his illness took his mind, and I found myself talking to a different man than I had known. Now that he is with the Lord, his mind is holy renewed and his struggle is done. I look forward to seeing him again in glory.
