Mark’s personal story has taken him from an abusive home life to being homeless on the streets of LA. Mark draws you into his story like only a man speaking from the heart can do, and before you know it, you’re living his story, hanging on each word. You’re hoping for resolution. You know it’s coming because here is the man living and breathing before you, but how could it be? How can this be the same man who lived this be able to live a life of grace? Mark’s answer is simple. Forgiveness.
