ELDER MARK THOMAS I was born on June 23, 1955, Scottsboro, Jackson County Alabama to Elder Gene and Sister Ann Thomas. My earliest reflections and memories are of my family and Church members going about the activities of worship and fellowship in the Church. My father baptized me in the waters of Spout Spring in November of 1963. I found a sweet and abiding relief in obedience to the ordinance of baptism. I cannot enter one of our Churches to this day without that same feeling of amazed delight that I have a home with the Lord's people here below. Following High School, I enlisted in the United States Army and went through the Academy of Health Sciences at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, TX for training in the field of Radiographic or X-ray technology. I continued to work in this field after my tour of duty ended and still enjoy this type of work today. I am married to the former Janice Norean Miller of Hunstville, AL. She was a member of Flint River Church near Huntsville. I have been blessed of the Lord with five children, three girls and two boys: Marie, Amy, Rebecca, Jared, and Joel. Jan and I feel to have been richly blessed of the Lord to have these gifts from the Lord in our watch-care. I have had the sweet privilege of baptizing each of my children as they came asking for a home in the Primitive Baptist Church. I was first called upon to speak publicly in the Church in October of 1978 at Union Church. I was ordained to the work of the ministry on June 6, 1981. I served Union Church and other churches in the Mud Creek Association until 1989. During that year, I accepted the call to serve Ebenezer Church in Dunwoody, GA and have been with them ever since. |
