Mission & Vision

Chuck and Sharon Betters’ world was turned upside down when they received the dreaded phone call that their 16 year old son, Mark and his friend Kelly were killed in a tragic car accident. They didn’t know if their hearts would keep beating, but God held them tightly in His grip. Often their encouragement came from others who were willing to help by stepping into the darkness and reminding them that God is sovereign and you can trust Him. That was the beginning of MARKINC, an acronym for “Making Abundant Riches Known In the Name of Christ” in honor of their son. The desire of this non-profit is to come alongside others who are hurting just as people further down the road in their grief journey had done for them. While the roots of this ministry were started in a painful, broken place, there has been tremendous beauty that has resulted in the help and hope that has been shared with millions of people around the world.

Our 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.

Our VIsion

Our vision is to offer true and lasting hope by sharing the Gospel to all who come to MARKINC for help, hope, and healing. Our desire is to anchor people’s hope in Jesus so that their faith in Him will bring healing and restoration. We want to encourage and equip others about God’s trustworthiness and faithfulness, no matter how difficult the circumstances, through the variety of free resources we produce and distribute. As a faith-based ministry, we are called and commanded to reach out to those who suffer; as a community of faith, we are instructed to bear one another’s burdens. Because God values hurting people, we must value them also.
