About Mark Jenkins: I'm the husband of an incredible woman named Tara who said “yes” to me and ministry and that's a double blessing. We have three girls: Megan, Mikayla, and Morgan. I grew up with all boys and now God wants me to discover how the other half lives. I am a sinner saved by God's amazing grace. I was educated by a godly set of parents, Culpeper County Public Schools, Longwood College, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Most importantly, I've been schooled in the classroom of life by a loving heavenly Father who knew I didn't know anything despite the diplomas hanging on the wall, and yet chose me to be one of his children. Today I serve as a lead shepherd of one of Culpeper's amazing local church families! Favorite flavor of ice cream: Breyers All-Natural Vanilla Hobbies: Renovation work and gardening Instruments that you play: I enjoy playing the harmonica for my own personal time of worship What you like to do on a sunny day: If it's a day off, I like to wear tank tops, shorts and work boots and build or fix something What you like to do on a rainy day: The same...just inside...I like to read if no one else is home. Favorite football team: The Five-Time Champions Pittsburgh Steelers...The world of Black and Gold is a beautiful thing.

Philippians 4:1-9

4:1 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

2 I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. 3 Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (ESV)
