“When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem [to Antioch], taking with them John, also called Mark.” Acts 12:25 One of the most inspirational lives recorded in the Scriptures is John Mark. This is the same brother who writes the first widely accepted “Gospel of Jesus,” which is known to this day as the Book of Mark. His Hebrew name, John, would be translated, “Yohanan” which means grace. His Latin name was Marcus which probably indicates that he was a Roman citizen. Most likely, in his younger years, he was known primarily as “John Mark” to distinguish him from others who had the common Jewish name of John.

Guest Editorial: Blaise & Patricia Feumba “‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty.”   Haggai 2:9 On May 10, 2011, I – Blaise Feumba – wrote the following email to my dear brother Kip McKean.
