"Everybody's story starts with someone else's story" is how Mark began our time together. For Mark, the "someone else" was his mother, who suffered multiple heartbreaks. Mark was born out of an affair, and his mom took all the shame and blame. For his first 7-years, he lived with his mom, grandma, and siblings from his mom's first marriage. But then his mom remarried, and that's when the nightmare began. His mother's husband began abusing Mark in every conceivable way. It was ugly for 7-long years until the abuse stopped. But it left behind an identity scarred by trauma and dysfunction. At 16, faith entered Mark's story, and little by little, he started chipping away at the trauma. But a victim mentality was deeply rooted within him. But God gently, graciously, and patiently led him into healing and a victorious mentality. Mark is passionate about sharing his story to help others. Bio: Pastor. Husband. Father. Reverend Mark Sowersby has been married to his wonderful wife Jennifer for 19 years and is the father of four children. Mark has been an ordained minister with Assembly of God for over 25 years and is currently the Pastor of Calvary Community Church in Dudley, MA. Pastor Mark holds a BA in theology from Zion Bible College/Northpoint Bible College. When he isn’t serving his congregation and his community through ministry, teaching, and support, you can find him on all the trails and lakes in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Upstate New York, spending time with his family.
