Meet Mark

Mark is 20 years old and lives in Temecula. He has been here since July and wears many hats. He helps with the pastor, serves as clinic chaplain, helps in the pharmacy, disciples some of the young guys, runs the Jesus film outreaches, helps out around the compound wherever needed and much more.

Mark may be young, but he is mature in his walk with the Lord. He loves God and wants others to know and follow Him. Mark preached in church on Sunday and did a fantastic job. He shared about God being our Abba Father and what that means to us.

Mark is also my source of comedy. I don't think anyone has ever made me laugh as hard and as often as he does. He cracks me up. He has the funniest awkward/embarrassing moment stories. I wish I could share them all with you. We also share a fondness for Chuck Norris jokes.

Mark has been such a blessing to me. He has made my transition here so much easier. He is a humble servant who is always willing to lend a hand. I love how he loves the people here. He is transforming as much as he can into a Dinka! Recently he cut his hair in the style of the men in the cattle camps and he also got his ear pierced (by Suzy!). Mark is a treasure and I will really miss him when he leaves in January.

I have so many funny pictures of Mark, but here are a few favorites...
