Mark’s favorite things
He enjoys “a cup of strong coffee with his wife Dee”, playing soccer with his kids and tackling “God size” challenges with his team. Occasionally he plays his guitar, runs three or four times a week and feels incredibly blessed to be able to give his time to helping people find God and grow in the knowledge of Christ.
