Treasures in Darkness is a blessing!!!! One thing I love about the Betters Family is their honesty. They are genuine in everything. A lot of christians pretend to be spiritual when they are on trials. They think that's the best way to help other people who suffer. Not true. If you see the Betters tell them there's a person who lives in Colombia South America who really appreciates their ministry.

Good morning! Our homeschool group has had a really tough year with illnesses, deaths, and other issues. But it has brought us together so closely and given us so many opportunities to pull out of our own tiny spheres to help others. I believe it has been a good learning experience, too, for those who previously either had not had a true community or had not seen the Lord’s encouragement in action.  Thank you so much for your books and devotionals which have provided a call to action and practical ideas for service and encouragement.

Thank you for giving voice to your own grief and hope through your ministry which has blessed so many by sharing your hope in Christ. You helped lay the foundation for me, and demonstrated that even grief can be a life-giving "gift and grace" to share with others.

I just wanted to tell you that I’m grateful for your ministry. I had heard you speak at a women’s retreat in Westminster Maryland when the woman who was supposed to speak got cancer and was unable to come. That’s when I first bought Treasures in Darkness. I have passed it along to others, ost recently to Nicola Kangas who, along with husband and siblings, lost her 18 yr old (?) son. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey and what God has taught you along the way. Grace and peace, Marian Brophy

Yes ma'am this is Stan calling from Knoxville Tennessee. We down here just enjoy so much listening MARKINC Ministry. It's just, he's just phenomenal.

I think anyone who offers up their lives willingly to Christ, asking Him to use us for His glory, for His Kingdom, will ultimately be given trials and tribulations. Without them, we're weak. Without the suffering, we're left with little personal reference to the awesome power and sovereignty of God over our lives. I realize that the day I surrendered my life to Christ - fully desiring to be used by Him for His purposes, I became exposed to more trials. But through them I became more exposed to His spiritual truths. More exposed to His miraculous intervention. More aware of His presence and the presence of angels....along with the presence of the enemy. He taught me to fight... and through the battles made me stronger, braver, more trusting of His faithfulness. He never left me. And He never will. And I learned that HIS name can still cast out demons. His name can still set a captive free. His name is more powerful than any name, any enemy ever created. His blood is more powerful than any weapon formed against us. He IS always sovereign over our lives so long as we submit to Him daily. I learned to cling to Him in the darkness....I learned that to Him- there is no difference between night and day. In His presence, we can always find protection, deliverance, and peace. Thank you for your ministry Pastor Betters, and thank you for always being faithful to God's Word. Love & prayers for you and your family! God bless!

Me and my wife, came down to your spring gala, with our handicapped son, who is in a wheelchair. He has a fatal disease called Duchene MD. It attacks the muscles. Your guest speaker talked about caregiving, Matthew really enjoyed himself that night. Everyone from your church was really nice to matt, but the highlight of the night, was after the speech, your guest spent several minutes talking to matt, and signed a book and gave it to matt. What a humble man he is. My entire family really enjoyed themselves that night. Pastor Bettors you do so much for the community and in your church. We love coming down to your church from blackwood NJ. Merry Christmas to you and Sharon and to your family.
