The Birth of Living Word

Whilst in the pastorate at Worthing Tabernacle, the Lord gave Pastor Mark

Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans that I have for you ..."

This was confirmed several ways, and also given independently to Jane, and then

the Lord clearly gave Mark the Great Commission.  Whilst meditating at length on it one Sunday afternoon, unexpectedly, and in a very unusual way, it was publicly given to Mark in the evening service.

More specifically, Isaiah 49:6 was highlighted, and then confirmed. 

Interestingly, this had been given to him over fourteen years ago, but had never been shared with anyone else. 

Superintendent of the Baptist Churches in the London area, Douglas McBain had it laid on his heart in prayer to give to Mark, whom he was to meet for the first time later that day. 

Within a few months, Mark's first ministry opportunity abroad opened up and has continued ever since.
