| Mark & Mandy |
| My personal testimony I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal Savior in 1973, and I made a decision at that time to be the best servant for God that I could possibly be. God has been so good and has blessed me so much since that day. I do regret wasting so much of my life in the world, but I know that there is no need to worry about the past, because it has been forgiven and forgotten. My desire to go forward for Jesus Christ, and to tell as many people as I can about His love, His mercy, and His saving Grace. I was born and raised in Buena Vista Va and had 1 sister and 1 brother. I was blessed to have had a Christian mother and dad. My Grand Ma (Nanny) along with my Mom & Dad told me about Jesus at an early age. For 38 years I am been a "Child Of The King", even though there have been times that I was away from God...He was NEVER away from me. I married Mandy August 19, 1989 who has been my biggest support and asset for 22 years. Having a Christian wife has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. We have daughter, Kelsey who attended Wesleyan Christian Academy. We are so happy that Kelsey accepted the Lord and was saved & baptized in 2004. I know that I am truly nothing without Jesus Christ, but through Him all things are possible. My prayer is that God will continue to use me and to lead me in the way that He would have me go. In my service for our Lord, I pray that if it’s God's will, one day; I will have the opportunity to share my ministry through song with you and your church. |
