The "Clips of the Day" will consist of a sermon excerpt and/or a song from some of my favorite preachers and singers. I hope they will bless you as much as they have blessed me. --Editor
Pastor Mark received a BA in speech communication from the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at Washington State University, and he holds a masters degree in Exegetical Theology from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of 16 books.
In 1996, at the age of 25, Pastor Mark and his wife, Grace, started a small Bible study at their home in Seattle, which at the time was the least churched city in America. Since that time, the church has exploded with upwards of 14,000 people meeting weekly across 14 locations in four states, Washington, Oregon, California, and New Mexico. Mars Hill has been recognized as the 54th largest, 30th fastest-growing, and second most-innovative church in the country by Outreach magazine.
Pastor Mark is the co-founder of the Acts 29 church-planting network, which has planted over 400 churches in the U.S., in addition to 13 other nations. He founded the Resurgence, which services Christian leaders through books, blog posts, conferences, and classes, with theResurgence.com receiving close to 7 million visits annually. As well, Pastor Mark is a co-founder of Churches Helping Churches with Pastor James MacDonald, which raised over $2.7 million to help rebuild churches in Haiti in the wake of the cataclysmic 2010 quake and empower Haitian pastors to minister and provide aid to the Haitian community. The organization also delivered over $1.7 million in medical supplies to the devastated country.
