Dr. Charles F. Betters, Founder
Chuck’s passion for building a spiritual legacy is reflected in his commitment to preaching through the Scriptures unapologetically for 40+ years. When the death of his sixteen-year-old son Mark confronted him with life’s hardest questions, he transparently tackled those hard doctrines and painful places of life. Out of the grief of his family, MARKINC Ministries was established as a means to offer help and hope to hurting people. He continues to engage the spiritual needs of people through the MARKINC Ask Dr. Better’s Video series.

Their mission is to help broken horses who will, in turn, help broken humans. Heidi is a Realtor, licensed in three states, and one of the team leaders for her business. Heidi grew up in the church which led her to many different places where she used her faith to minister to all different people. Loss, hurting people, grief, pain, anger, bitterness, and then hope and joy are the things that just made sense to Heidi because of the people she walked with through their pain, and also through her own. Working through the process of understanding that her relationship with Jesus was personal, and not because of a church building, took a long time; but has proven to continue to be that thing that brings internal joy, despite all other circumstances. Heidi is the daughter of Chuck and Sharon Betters
