MARK'S MINISTRY
TO YOUTH
I just wanted to
thank you for getting to my school and making me closer to God.
When we were praying I could feel the Holy Spirit rush into me,
and God telling me that everything was going to be okay, and
that he would take care of me... I am sure that I was not the
only person sitting there with the sun blaring on me that felt
changed.

I just wanted to
encourage you in your ministry. I have always wanted to stand
up in front of my school and say the things you said. I think
that what you are doing is AWESOME!!! Keep going, despite any
persecution you may get.

I have seen you
at a Catholic Youth Conference in Edmonton. I also purchased
one of your cd's (Deliver me from me) and i love it... When i
heard you at the conference, your music touched my heart and
brought me back to reality. I went through too many things before
I saw you. I was into drugs really bad and thought there was
no life for me, but when I heard you sing and talked, and thanks
to you, I am no longer using drugs and that there is a life for
me.

Your presentation
was the most moving thing I've ever seen, like, I am a Christian
myself... but all the stuff you talked about, it started to motivate
me to be a better person. When you talked about all the small
sins, being just as bad as a big one, I thought about that alot,
and I realized, yeah there are a lot of small things I could
improve on. We have a lot of presentations by Christain people
on the subject, and they've been good alright, but never really
caught anyone's attention. Not mine anyhow, but I really payed
attention this time.

Your unique talent
in writing music, playing instruments and singing is absolutely
extraordinary. You truly are an inspiration and for someone like
me who is kind of struggling in faith as nothing is going the
way I would like, I have felt like I am in a desert and God is
ignoring me for quite a long time. To hear what you said about
your struggles and how God does not abandon anyone really touched
me.

[Mark]
was the most amazing speaker I've ever heard and it just so happened
that I
had to leave right in the middle of his talk to go to work...[but]
I wanted so bad to hear everything he was saying. It was so right
on and it was just exactly what I, and I'm sure everyone else
around me needed to hear.

Your music
[has] impacted my life in a way that nothing else ever has, and
the love you've consistently shown me since has been one of the
greatest witnesses of Christ... It's good to see how passionate
you still are about leading others to the Lord.

I want
to thank you (on behalf of all of the other staff and students
at our school) for the incredible message you brought that
day! ...a message that everyone needs to be reminded of... or
to hear for the first time.

Mark's mission here in Courtenay--our hearts are burning within

Thank you for your
talks this weekend. Every word you spoke, spoke to my heart.
The time seemed to fly by, as if you had only been speaking for
a few minutes... The eucharistic adoration was so amazing. Your
music, all these beautiful people praying it's so wonderful.
These days were a great gift. Thank you with all my heart.

I thought your performance was
so beautiful. It really touched my heart... I thought your words
of faith to be most needed and inspiring. I just loved your music,
your awesome words of inspiration, your faith and your humor.
Keep up this wonderful work you are doing - it is so needed in
this world we live in.

You and Lea are
such a wonderful example of God's love working through Lay people
and through a family... and I was encouraged and energized by
your love and zeal for the Lord... Thanks for listening to the prompting
of the Spirit... I know for myself the graces and presence of
Christ experienced is unmeasurable... so I am praying that God
will shower you & Lea with all the graces and gifts I received...

From the first
song you performed, I knew there was something uniquely wonderful
about you and your work. Obviously, the Holy Spirit has an immense
power and influence over your music. I play your CD, "Deliver
Me From Me" every day, and often many times during those
days. Each listening draws me deeper into the beauty of our relationship
with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Your are a fantastic
"intermediary" in God's work for the church.

I just got home
from your concert last night in Calgary, and I was stunned by
your wits, your exceptional guitar playing, your songs, and your
messages. I am only 13 years old, but I can already see what
you mean by our world and society turning upside down. If I had
one wish, I would wish that the whole world would be inspired
by your music.

I just
get so much clarity, inspiration and drive to keep going forward...
You
have been the STRONGEST most inspirational and spiritual leader
that has clearly pulled me through and helped to keep my FAITH
on the straight and narrow path going forward. You have such
a gift.

I really
enjoyed the concert. [Mark] answered a few questions through
his jokes and stories that have been lingering on my mind. Cool.

Where do
I begin to tell you what I liked about the evening? The music
and songs were powerful, exciting, and pure. Humor is welcome
anytime but yours Mark is homey and natural, and presented a
refreshing casualness and down-to-earthness to the evening... your accessibility
to fans with time to communicate and give autographs was a final
way in connecting with those who truly appreciate you and your
work.
