What he left in the rest of us

“I first met Mark Gibson on May 12, 2025. He had reached out to me after seeing a video on Facebook and we agreed to meet for lunch. It turned out to be a six hour lunch that day and a true brotherhood was formed. We immediately bonded, as we both shared similar experiences with the living Lord, Jesus Christ. He was so authentically curious about his newfound life! I was grateful that the Lord put us together early on in his journey. We laughed. We cried. We sang. So much happened in that year that I am grateful for and I will keep close to my heart as words would cheapen. On August 24, 2025, I was honored to be the brother that baptized him in water for the first time. I will never forget that day! What a beautiful soul! I cannot wait to see you on the other side, my bro”

“Mark loved seeing number patterns. 777, 11:11, etc., but his favorite was seeing 333. He believed they were God-winks. He passed away yesterday at 3:33pm. Right before Mark went into a state of unconsciousness, he said, "There is so much love in this room." I am so thankful he could feel it.”

“Sometimes the people who spend their lives lifting others up are the ones who need us to lift them up. My heart has been so heavy for my dear friends, Mark and Emily, as they face one of the hardest chapters of their lives. Mark is battling pancreatic cancer, and watching two people you care so deeply about go through something like this is heartbreaking. You wish you could take away the pain, change their circumstances, or somehow make everything better. But while we may not be able to change what they're facing, we CAN make sure they don't have to face it alone. If you've ever been touched by Mark or Emily, or simply feel led to help, I'm asking you to please consider donating, sharing this post, or lifting them up in prayer. No amount is too small, and every act of kindness matters. "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." - Galatians 6:2 Let's be the hands and feet of Jesus and surround Mark and Emily with the love, prayers, and support they have so freely given to others. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me love on these two very special people.”

“Mark Gibson we loved you brother. We cannot thank you enough for who you were, the advice you shared with us, the conversations and the wisdom. We are beyond blessed to have known you. I know, just as you did, Jesus welcomed you with open arms. Until we meet again, Brother. We love you. Rest in peace.”

“"Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints." Psalms 116:15 NKJV Today our dear friend and brother in Christ, Mark Gibson, passed from this earth. Though Mark was just a "toddler" in the faith, in just 3 years, I saw a man who loved Jesus, his wife, his kids, his grandkids. He had such love and wisdom for all that had the great fortune of meeting him. Oh how he loved to preach/teach/share/study God's Word. Until we meet again, we love you, we miss you. Well done, my friend, well done.”

“Today, my sweet friend & Brother-in-Christ, Mark Gibson has gone home to be with the Lord. Pancreatic cancer may have broken his body physically, but it never broke his faithful & loving soul. Mark, you have touched so many lives (including mine) with your neverending love for Jesus & your incredible knowledge & teaching/sermons, I will miss you dearly & will never forget you. God has gained an Angel this afternoon & I will definitely see you again soon, until then...rest well in His loving arms. "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'" Matthew 25:23 NIV”

“This man right here is my very good friend Mark Gibson. He's in a serious battle with pancreatic cancer and things took a turn for the worse this last week. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to genuinely live for Christ, it's him. The enthusiasm, the commitment, the tender love, the unshakeable faith, purpose & action. It's all there in maximum supply, and he has been spreading it like a wildfire. A true warrior of God's love, wisdom, and grace, and we need people like him in this world now more than ever. So I have a massive ask, and I need you to hear my heart on this. I'm asking everyone to pray for him and his family with every ounce of faith, love, and gratitude we can muster. Too often, we pray from a place of fear, sorrow, lack, sympathy, or simple religious duty. But Scripture calls us to something bolder. Something that denies our senses. Hebrews 11:1 "Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." James 1:6 "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." Jesus said in Matthew 17:20 that even faith the size of a mustard seed can move a mountain. Cancer is a mountain, but our God is sovereign over every mountain. When hundreds of believers align their minds and spirits in total unity and expectant belief, heaven moves. We serve a living God of power and grace. This wouldn't be his first miracle, and it won't be his last. I want to invite you into prayers that don't just ask, but expect greatness. Dig deep into your spirit and pray from absolute gratitude in advance. Close your eyes and literally picture the joy flooding his family's faces when the doctors come back into the room stunned by what they're seeing on the scans. Smile as you thank the Lord right now from the bottom of your heart for his goodness. Pray an anchor of stillness around his family that defies human circumstance. We stand in total, expectant faith for full restoration, resting in the peace that God is already moving to shine his light in ways beyond what we can see. I say all this only to inspire the kind of faith we are shown in the Bible over and over again. I say this also knowing, that whatever happens God's good will grace Mark, his family, and everyone else in proximity in ways we don't even get to see. But let's try and build an unbreakable wall of faith around this brother and his family. Love ya Mark, and whether I get to continue this journey with you for years to come or days.. you have had such a profound impact on my life, among others. I will never be able to find the words to express it enough. God bless you.”
