About MARKINC Ministries

MARKINC (Making Abundant Riches Known in the Name of Christ) was founded by Dr. Chuck and Sharon Betters after the death of their sixteen-year-old son, Mark. In their season of deep grief, they were comforted by others who had walked the same road. That compassion inspired a calling to offer help and hope to others facing life’s hardest challenges.

Today, MARKINC creates biblical resources that remind people of God’s faithfulness and provide encouragement for those who suffer. What began as a ministry born from loss has grown into a global effort to share the Gospel through stories, devotionals, teaching, and testimonies that point people to Christ.

Mission
& Vision

Mission

Our mission at MARKINC is to encourage a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to help strengthen faith in His promises, and to proclaim that God is sovereign and can be trusted even in the broken places of life. It is our desire to offer people the healing hope of the Gospel by sharing redemptive stories, videos, books, devotionals, and more from the personal experiences of others who have found comfort, purpose, and courage to persevere faithfully, regardless of their circumstances.

Vision

Our vision is to share the Gospel with all who come to MARKINC for help, hope, and healing. We desire to anchor hearts in Jesus so that faith in Him brings healing and restoration. Through free biblical resources, we aim to encourage and equip people to trust God’s faithfulness in every circumstance. As a faith-based community, we are called to reach out to those who suffer and bear one another’s burdens, reflecting God’s heart for all who are hurting.

What We Believe

  • The Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God.

  • There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, whose life, death, and resurrection provide salvation to all who believe.

  • Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works.

  • The Holy Spirit indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives.

  • There will be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost.

  • All believers are united in Jesus Christ.
