As chaplain, he provides spiritual support to patients, and grief and bereavement care to their families and loved ones. “Our spirituality,” states the author, “holds tremendous assistance for coping with life-altering adversities, and for learning to recognize and appreciate the healing balm of mystery in our lives. We can learn how to tap into that healing font.”
Mark holds a Master of Divinity degree from Amridge University, Montgomery, Alabama. He and his wife, Rachel, served twenty years in northern Luzon, Philippines as church planters and Bible translators for a small tribal group, and as consultants to other translators. They have four grown children and six grandchildren, and currently reside at the Lake of the Ozarks.voir moins
