Mark Winquist
May 23, 1961 - May 28, 2011
Mark Winquist was our Campus Ministry Assistant here at the United Faith Campus Ministry. He always had a smile on his face, wanted to help out anyone he could, and without a doubt, showed God's love everyday. He has made a huge impact in all of our lives, as well as the lives of everyone else that he met. He was a truly inspirational person and we are all so happy that we were able to have him in our lives for the time we had.
This was Mark's ministry team bio. He was such a great addition to our ministry and anybody that knew him knows that what he wrote here isn't something he just wrote, it's the way he lived.
