Our History
Hi, this is Bro. Mark, I wanted to give you a brief history of our calling.
I was called by God to preach His word in 1988, I began preaching in November of that same year. Over the next few years I spoke in several different churches, and denominations. In 1991 I started New Sound Ministries, This ministry was directed mainly toward teenagers who was being drawn into Satanism and the occult, through demonic music. We went to churches all over our area, and conducted seminars, on this subject. Praise God we were privileged to see many teenager's become born again.
In 1995 I went through a very hard time in my life. God told me to write a book, he even told me what to name that book. "It Ain't Gods Fault" but I had lost the real focus in life, and for the next 17 years, I wasn't following God the way I should have, but that all changed in November, 2012. I was Home alone, late at night and God began dealing with me even though I had left Him, He had NEVER Left me.
Over the next few days I submitted myself back to Him. Later He reminded me of that book He had told me to write all those years earlier, I was in hopes He had forgot about that, I had no idea how to write a book.
I also had started praying for God to send me a good Christian woman to be my wife. Around 3 months later I met my beautiful wife, Tonya, we met in person for the first time in Asheville North Carolina, her home state, on February 9th 2012. God gave me everything that I asked for in her. We were married on July 7th 2013.
Soon after God reminded me of that book again so I knew I had to write it, and with a ton of help from Tonya, we completed it later that year. In 2015 we meet Ken and Martha Shirkey who were the Founders of the Gateway Center For World Missions. Later we went on a mission trip with them to the Country of Haiti in 2015. The next year I was asked to sit on the Board of GCFWM, I sat on that board for 2 years.
Later Tonya and I wrote another book entitled What's Next? it was an after the Rapture hand book, for the people who are left behind. This was also the start of It's Time 4 Jesus Ministries, IT4JM.
In December 2021, I was asked to Pastor Barnett's Creek Community Church, in which I currently Pastor.
God has given us our greatest challenge to date, a new project, Called The Operation Rescue Project. You can read more about it in Our Mission section.
Our Mission
Our mission is to spread the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ, but this seems to be getting hard to do these days.
In 2020 the Lord placed on my heart,
Mark 16:15, He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature".
But how do you do that in the world we live in today? Occasionally I see preachers stand on the street corners or in Walmart parking lots. I watch to see what kind of a response they get and on some occasions it has not been very good. I began praying for guidance on how I could get people to listen, especially living in the high tech world we do today. The first thought was to have a You tube page or Social media page. I soon realized that the only people that were responding to those pages were people who were already born again. As a Church Pastor, I have noticed also that people are not as receptive as they were several years ago, when you could go to visit them and invite them to church. As the body of Christ, we are now in a direct competition with this new cyber world we live in. So as I was praying, Lord how can we go out into this new world and reach the lost people? Giving God all glory; Ideas began coming into my mind like rushing waters. Such as "you have to reach them with technology", "You have to go to them, you can't rescue a wounded soldier by expecting them to come to you". Again how could I do that? The Operation Rescue Project was Born. He showed me a massive TV screen on top of an enclosed trailer that would fold up and down for travel. We would take this on weekend nights to any crowded parking lot that would allow us to setup. Such as large retail stores, church parking lots, larger restaurants, festivals, county fairs, RV Parks and other parks. Just imagine as people are out shopping or going out to eat and they see a massive tv high on top of an enclosed trailer (that would house all the computer and electronics) with signs posted to tune their car radio to a certain FM channel. Just like going to the drive in but totally free. The videos that would be playing are some that we are currently working on. These are prophesy videos of what is actually happening in the world around us right NOW. Prophesies that are leading up to the Beast System, the MARK of the Beast, the Elitist Global Control and takeover just as the book Revelation reads. We believe these informative videos once seen will compel people to think about turning from sin and turning to God. This will open the door for the precious Holy Spirt to convict their hearts. At the end of each video their will be instructions as to how to become a born again believer, with explanation's and questions as to the reason for Jesus, death, burial and resurrection, the need to Believe in the what Christ did, Romans 3:25, Romans 10:9-10. The need for the Confession of SIN. Romans 3:23-24, 1John 1:8-10 and how to Repent; have a change of heart, Acts 2:38 then how to Accept God's FREE gift of Salvation; Ephesians 2:8-9. Thank you for taking the time to look at our Ministry. If you feel the Lord guiding you to support this Ministry, you will also be a part in leading people to God. May God Bless You, the Gift and the Giver.
