Our Pastor has been graciously taken to Glory by His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He will be missed by all who loved him. Please pray for his wife Angi, son Jared(wife Priscilla) and son Zac as they press on without Mark. Also, pray for Grace Bible Fellowship as we move forward from this day on.
This is copy of Mark's last public prayer at GBF. We say amen to this prayer and we call all to press on to the prize set before them. This was prayed after one of the most personally(to me), challenging and convicting messages Mark ever preached.

Father, I just pray tonight that thy Holy Spirit would, Lord he already has and we just give you praise. He's already walking in and out of these pews tonight. Lord, I saw your Spirit, as a dove lighting upon some here tonight.
O Lord Jesus, I pray that that would be the relationship we all could have Lord. Let us say with John, when he said, "I must decrease and He must increase. Lord tonight increase in our life where we love you more than any pleasure, any sin, any temptation, anything which is allowed, or not allowed. That we love you, more than. And Lord, that our lives will be driven by our relationship with you. "O Love that will not let me go, I cast my weary soul on thee. O Lord, tonight we cast ourselves on thee. Encourage your people tonight as we leave here, Lord, not to be ladled with guilt, but Lor, to leave here with knowing that we have an opportunity to go deeper with thee and stronger with thee.
For we ask it in Jesus' name,
Amen, amen
