- When Pastor Mark was 17 years old, he was involved in a serious car crash that destroyed multiple other vehicles in the process. He was coming home from a party with his friend.
- Mark’s mother believed her prayers saved his life. Unfortunately, his troubles continued and it wasn’t long before he and his three friends were arrested for general misdemeanors.

- After the church service, Pastor Ward offered the young Mark a chance to travel with him to Africa. The duo spent months in Tanzania doing missionary work alongside Ralph Hagemeier.

Pastor Hankins,
Your sermons on faith have helped me and my faith has been lifted to a much higher level bc I am standing in faith for my son’s healing of Alzheimer’s. He’s in his 50s and I see in my mind eye him giving his testimony. God gets all the glory and believing this will touch many people. Standing on His healing promises! God is greater!
