A bit about Mark
So how did someone from Kent in the UK find themselves in the Philippines? It's a long story and you can download Mark's testimony by clicking this link.

Here's how his story began.

"I grew up in England finishing school and working in a bank, enjoying music with a very active social life yet unable to answer the longing in my heart for fulfilment and suffering from depression and low self-esteem. This in turn led me into a life of alcohol dependence and by the time I was nineteen was also involved in taking drugs whenever the opportunity arose.

During this period I received a leaflet through my door proclaiming on a black background and white letters the word “Life”. Thinking that this was the name of a local rock band I took my friend along to Chatham theatre where on entering came face to face with people lifting hands and singing the kind of songs only heard in church or at Easter or on TV. Feeling very awkward but at the same time interested and compelled I led my friend as far away from the main stage as possible high up in the balcony.

That evening the Rev Billy Graham preached a message of salvation and when he gave the invitation to receive Jesus as my saviour I found myself retracing my steps down stairs from the balcony to the main stage at the front of the auditorium. "
