What People Are Saying About Mark's speaking ministry
Mark Ayers is an amazing man of God, who has a true heart for sound
biblical teaching while presenting it in a fun, creative, and
challenging way. Mark is focused on kingdom goals first. He is a
great resource for all speaking needs at churches, camps, conferences
or retreats. While speaking you can feel the Lord working in and
through his words. One thing that Mark has taught me over the years is
that as Christians we are to glorify God, and most believe that to be a
difficult task, but its really not. To glorify God, we must "merely
exist." (to hear more about that you need to really hear him speak) I
have to say that mark practices what he preaches and it is evident in
his speaking, his ministry and his life, making him and excellent role
model for all. Marks philosophy to Energize, Evangelize, Excite, and
Equip the generations for the glory of God always shines through in the
ways he teaches and ministers. Mark is and will be a blessing to all
that hear him.

I have known Mark since he was a student living on the edge. I saw God call him to Himself, deliver him from a life of searching, and eventually, into His service. The remarkable thing is that once Mark surrendered his life to Christ, he never left the edge! He merely reassigned himself from "seeker" to "guide" and has been leading young people to the solid footing found in Jesus Christ ever since.
Mark Ayers is a rare blend of spiritual depth and creativity. Because of this, Mark has the ability to relate the truth of God's Word to students on a level that captivates them, captures their imaginations AND their hearts. He relates to every students desire for meaning, purpose and hope and faithfully points them to the source from which it can be obtained.
In a society full of hurting and searching students walking through the minefield known as their teenage years, it is refreshing to see a man that is willing to step into the fray and be a guide to help lead them out... One that has not forgotten what it was like to be that young man on the edge. He is willing to get involved in their lives, not afraid to get his hands dirty, and stands on the Solid Rock of Jesus as he doesn't just TELL them, but SHOWS them what God wants to do in THEIR lives, too!
If you desire more than just another "retreat speaker", or "camp pastor" to fill a slot and want to put someone in front of your group that will Meet them where they are and lead them to where Christ wants them to be, then Mark is your man!

"Mark is the real deal. He is genuine and authentic in his approach to sharing a message. I have known Mark since he was a student in our ministry. Mark walks the talk.
Daniel Ziegenmier Student Minister
Mark Ayers has a passion for God's glory and to see students realize that glory. As a speaker Mark portrays his love for the Lord and students in a manner that students find easy to relate to. On more than one occasion Mark has been the guest speaker at youth camps I've organized; I've never been disappointed.
"If you want someone who connects well with students, Mark Ayers is your guy! Mark is incredible at teaching God's Word in a way that is easily understood and applicable. I've never known anyone else who cares so much about reaching lost and hurting teenagers."
Jamie Dewald Student Pastor First Baptist Church Lenoir
"Mark is dynamic, faithful to Scripture, and passionate about Christ and his kingdom. He will engage your students and enlarge their vision of God."
Jerry H, "worker" in East Asia
Mark's passion for Jesus is obvious in all that he says and does. I have not been around a more authentic speaker during my years in Youth Ministry. Mark's message of life transformation through Jesus Christ is powerful and timely for today's youth culture.

Mark Ayers is a great communicator of the truth and Glory of God. Always to the point in a relevant, but still edgy way. A true joy to hear! Rev. Eric F Warren Children's Minister Mill Springs Baptist Church
Mark is one of the most relevant young men that captures the heart of young men and women with the "Word of God" that I have had the privilege of serving with. He is fresh, sincere, compassionate, and one of the most creative people that I have ever met. Young people will absolutely love him because of the truth that he preaches. Mark is great for retreats, conferences, youth revivals, revivals, pulpit preaching, and staff support.
Rev. Vollie L Gibbs
