Mark is currently enjoying semi-retirement, working part-time managing all maintenance needs for Christian HELP's buildings, grounds, and vehicles.
He states, “The most exciting element of working at Christian HELP is watching people come to our office who are so discouraged because of their employment situation, but then see them become excited about the hope of being self-sufficient after they start using our services.”
