Dr. Charles (Chuck) Betters often says that the death of his sixteen-year-old son, MARK, “unbolted his family from its love affair with this world.” MARKINC Ministries is one of the products of that “unbolting.”

Navigating the foreign land of grief reminded Chuck and Sharon Betters that such pathways are better traveled when others ahead of you in the journey offer their experiences as a helpful roadmap. Chuck and Sharon wanted to help others the way they had been helped. This desire translated into offering numerous Help and Hope resources free of charge to hurting people.

MARKINC Ministries is named after their son, Mark, and is a platform for producing and distributing resources that address life crises that are often experienced in isolation, long term, and difficult to share with others. Many of the resources are interviews with people who have found comfort, purpose and courage to those who are hurting, as well as practical ways their family and friends can come alongside them.

Other resources include articles, sermons, blogs and video clips that encourage people to walk by faith.

It's the desire of the entire MARKINC Ministries team to fill this website with hundreds of stories and resources that help disciple hurting people. We want to partner with other non-profit organizations by making appropriate resources available to their audiences.
