Commendations

I am often asked to write introductions for different people, and I find myself spending time thinking of words of praise for them. Not so with Mark Spence. A string of words immediately come to mind—faithful, servant, funny, honest, and God-fearing. He is also an experienced and gifted Bible expositor, and he's utterly faithful to the evangelistic teaching of ‘The Way of the Master.’ If you put him in your pulpit, he will not only challenge your people but he will thoroughly equip them to reach the lost.

Living Waters
How many people do you know who regularly contend for the Christian faith on college campuses, such as Berkeley, UCLA, San Diego State, and others? Meet Mark Spence of Living Waters, who has traveled all over America (just one more state to go) and 30 nations to proclaim the gospel. Besides being a dynamic communicator who has joined me as a speaker at Bible conferences, Mark is also an award-winning film producer and editor whose films have been seen by millions.

Passionate. Fresh. And best of all, biblical. Your congregation won’t groan when they discover there is a guest preacher, they will thank you. Mark will leave your flock challenged to share their faith like never before. More than that, they will actually learn how to share their faith, biblically, confidently…

I cannot fully express how the Lord has used Mark to equip and inspire Grace Bible Church for the ministry of the gospel. Mark’s preaching focuses our attention on seeing the glory of God as the motivation to be His ambassadors. His sermons were passionate and inspiring, delivered with conviction, authenticity, and biblical accuracy. I’m forever thankful for how God continues to use Mark to stir up the affections of God’s people worldwide!

Dr. Matthew Shackelford, Senior Pastor

Grace Bible Church
Mark is a bold Christian on the front lines who finds a way to make things happen. His ability to step out of his comfort zone and accomplish things for God has changed my family’s life. I thank God for him.

The apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2 that our purpose, as disciples of Christ, is to ‘proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.’ By God’s grace, Mark has remained faithful to that calling, both in and out of the pulpit. A zealous evangelist, passionate preacher, and humble servant, Mark is an example to me of a man desiring to walk in the footsteps of our Lord.

Jeremy Vuolo, Senior Pastor

Grace Community Church

Mark Spence’s passion for the gospel and for proclaiming it through evangelism is matched by his commitment to equipping others to do the same. As a seasoned evangelist, he handles the good news of justification by faith alone, because of the merit of Christ alone, with clarity and care, and he faithfully helps others to do likewise.

Mark Spence preaches the gospel clearly and defends it well. I would recommend him to churches and for outreach events.

Mike Winger, Apologist, Bible Teacher
Mark Spence is a great asset to the Kingdom of God. He is unafraid to share the gospel in all sorts of conditions with all people whenever possible. His dedication to the Lord Jesus is an excellent example of what it means to be a Christian. Living Waters is blessed to have him.

Matt Slick,

In a world of brokenness, gospel confusion and biblical illiteracy, Mark brings clarity, courage and passion. I’m thankful not only for Mark’s passion for the truth, but also for his burden for the lost. I’m praying that the Lord would raise up more men and women like Mark who will herald the precious truth of His Word and reach the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jonny Ardavanis, Teaching Pastor

Stonebridge Bible Church
A sinner saved by grace, Mark Spence is a gifted and faithful man. In God’s working, he is a fearless evangelist and a skilled apologist. I am deeply edified by his work to proclaim our great Savior. That is the strongest commendation a man can get: that in his vocation, Christ increases, and he decreases (John 3:30). This is the true definition of success. So it is with Mark.

Dr. Owen Strachan, Author, Christianity and Wokeness; podcast host

Grace & Truth
By God’s grace, Mark is a bold ambassador for Christ who practices what he preaches. He hits the streets and shares the Gospel in the most uncomfortable environments. His courage and clarity is what the church needs today.

Mark Spence is dedicated to fulfilling the marching orders of the Commander of the Universe. His discipline devoted toward training and application through execution on the front-lines of battle becomes very evident as you peer into his life. Mark is a soldier for Christ, an expert swordsman when it comes to contending for the faith and a double threat in his ability to communicate and teach others to master the craft. This is a man that has dedicated his life toward the love of his Lord, family, friends and the lost. It is my honor to call him friend and be sharpened by his influence.
