Seeing the trials and warfare that ministers go through, our
founder- Mark Vargas, has always had a compassion to help ministers in everyway. It was never his intension to preach or even
be in the ministry. Mark never thought he would ever be good enough. After completing 2 years of college (majoring in electronics)
he realized he had a terrible stutter problem when speaking to an audience. Because of this, he never received a college degree.
God had other plans. Mark graduated from a local church evangelistic
explosion program in 1981. For the next 10 years, God began revealing to Mark his calling in life. In 1990
God miraculously healed Mark of his stutter problem that he had in front of audiences. Since then God has used Mark to speak
to crowds of over 1000 people at a time. Mark has, (as the Spirit of God leads him) spoken to churches in California, Colorado,
Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and most recently, Florida.
It doesn't stop here. Mark feels led to continue the financial
support to ministers as well as the needy, while preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ at ARK Ministries. Mark
also believes in training others to do the same.
