A Word from Dr. Mark Crook
Dean of the School of Christian Counseling
After almost five years out of the Pastorate God said it was time to return. Last Sunday I was voted in as the Pastor of Trees Baptist Church in Vivian, Louisiana. I am still remaining at LBU fulltime and Pastoring Bi-Vocational. It is obvious to me that people are not as receptive to the Gospel and very skeptical about the relavance of the local church. Unfortunatly the lost are perhaps getting an incorrect view of our God based on the inconsistant seemingly unchanged lives of those in church. It is my desire that God grants a mighty outpouring of his Holy Spirit which would lead his children to brokeness and repentance. Despite what the skeptics God is still very much alive and in control of His church. Please pray for me as I answer God's call to Pastor again.
In Christ!
Dr. Mark
