I am writing to recommend to you Mark Gerosin, missionary to Colombia.\u00a0Bro. Gerosin has been involved in our ministry since 1995, when he and his parents began attending TVBC.\u00a0His parents came to Christ the same year that he did and continue to be faithful in our church.\u00a0Mark has indeed continued to grow in grace since his conversion and exhibits not only leadership qualities with those to whom he ministers, but has definite spiritual maturity, marked by humility, service, and compassion.\u00a0Mark and his wife have been faithful servants of the Lord and our church, laboring in our youth ministry, bus ministry, fair-booth, Bible Institute, street-preaching, and many other outreach ministries.<\/p>\n
Mark graduated from Treasure Valley Baptist Bible Institute in 1999.\u00a0While he was a student, I noticed his burden for foreign missions developing, and it has continued to be a large force in his daily life and personality.\u00a0Mark has traveled to other mission fields, but God made his call clear to Colombia.\u00a0He and his wife, Katie, went to Colombia in February of 2009 on a survey trip where he was able to spend time with several veteran missionaries and minister to Colombians.\u00a0Then after returning, he was able to start a Bible study with Colombian immigrants in our local area.<\/p>\n
Mark spends time with God, turns to prayer intuitively, and holds his Bible dear.\u00a0He is loyal, obedient, and grateful to his Saviour and church.\u00a0Please consider helping them in prayer and financial support as they seek to fulfill God\u2019s call for their lives.<\/p>\n
Yours for souls,<\/p>\n
Pastor Rick DeMichele<\/strong> Dear Pastor,<\/p>\n I\u00a0would like to recommend Bro. Mark Gerosin\u00a0and ask\u00a0you to\u00a0consider allowing him to present his ministry to you. I\u2019ve known Bro. Mark for more than a decade and have personally\u00a0observed his continued spiritual growth and\u00a0development.\u00a0He\u00a0has a\u00a0genuine burden for souls and a\u00a0sincere love for Christ. I\u2019m confident he and his family will be effective, long term missionaries that will produce\u00a0\u201dfruit that remains\u201d in Colombia.<\/p>\n Along with the spiritual gifts needed to be an effective missionary,\u00a0Bro. Mark has been faithful. He has allowed God to bring him through some trials and has persevered\u00a0testing.\u00a0He has been patient and submissive through the Lord\u2019s preparation.\u00a0These are rare qualities\u00a0in men these days.\u00a0I hope you will consider\u00a0helping him with prayer and financial support.<\/p>\n In Christ,<\/p>\n Pastor Randy Mitchell<\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/randy-mitchell-wide.png” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.16″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” animation=”left” sticky=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/bro-wells-sr_wide.png” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.16″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” animation=”left” sticky=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Dear Pastor,<\/p>\n In 1995, my wife and I came to the states for our first furlough and met Mark Gerosin and at that time Katie Peterson.\u00a0 We became friends and our conversations were always directed around missions.\u00a0 In those early years it was evident that Mark and Katie both had a heart for mission work.\u00a0 In 1997 Mark asked if he could come on a visit to the highlands of Papua New Guinea.\u00a0 For a month Mark and I were partners tromping through the jungle going to many villages to hold meetings and preach.\u00a0 He also helped me with the sawmill to cut lumber for a new church.\u00a0 Then he experienced the dreaded malaria.<\/p>\n None of this held him back.\u00a0 Mark and Katie were married and they came together to PNG in 2004 with their new 5 month old baby girl, Abby.\u00a0 They experienced a lot of hardships just in coming to our home on the rough roads arriving after midnight having to hike with their baby through unknown territory.\u00a0 They have exhibited the mental toughness, physical fitness, and spiritual maturity that we believe it takes to live and work in a third world country.<\/p>\n We would have been honored to have them come work with us in Papua New Guinea, but the Lord has directed them to Medellin, Colombia, and we are happy for Mark and Katie as they take this step of faith to be in the center of God\u2019s perfect will.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Assistant Pastor Dennis Wells (Retired missionary PNG)<\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n To Whom It May Concern:<\/p>\n It is with great pleasure that I provide a letter of recommendation for Mark Gerosin. I have had the privilege to work with Mr. Gerosin at Knife River.<\/p>\n Mr. Gerosin has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and ambition. He is definitely a leader rather than a follower and always stands up for his beliefs. His good judgment and mature outlook ensure a logical and practical approach to his endeavors. Mr. Gerosin has always exceeded my expectations for managing his projects and clients.<\/p>\n I personally think Mark Gerosin will be successful in any situation he puts himself in.\u00a0I wish him the best of luck and will greatly miss his hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Jessee Rosin<\/strong> Previous Employer<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/kr.png” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.16″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” animation=”left” sticky=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Fellow Laborers, I am writing to recommend to you Mark Gerosin, missionary to Colombia.\u00a0Bro.
