I have recently joined this Legacy site and want to thank everyone here for all the posts and messages of encouragement.

Over the last 42 months I have reached out to God to be my strength each and every day since the shocking news was given to me that my precious child had suddenly passed away. The following information on our web site documents much of my hope and healing journey.

My prayers go out to each and every one of you on this gathering place. I hope and pray you choose to Celebrate Life and gain additional hope and healing.

Mark Canfora Ministries was established after my oldest child of five, Mark Jr., went home to be with the Lord on July 12, 2005. There have been thousands of salvations in Christ (including over 300 at the funeral services) and millions have heard the testimony of how great and loving God is during our most difficult of times. The ministry has evolved into several outreach ministries listed below:

Celebration of Life Festivals: Annual gatherings celebrating the gift of life at birth, our salvation and new life in Jesus Christ and then our eternal life in heaven. www.markfest.org

Read and Believe Ministry: An outreach ministry to promote the Gospel of Christ through products that people read and then believe. We offer many items such as posters, shirts, etc. with a scriptural message of hope and healing. www.ReadandBelieve.com

I've Got Hope Ministry: A message of hope and healing to parents, families and friends of recently deceased children and loved ones. Mark Canfora delivers a powerful message of hope to all that feel hopeless while fearing they will never see that child again child. www.markfest.org
