Proclaiming Truth and Grace
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
Welcome to Mark Richard Ministry.
I'm grateful that you've found your way here, and I believe it's not by chance but by God's divine plan. The original purpose of this website was to share the contents of my letter, In Error to God’s Heir, as we are commanded to spread the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15). The letter is a testament to the transformative power of Jesus Christ in my life. It's a story about His love, mercy, patience, and saving grace -- not by my works, but by total surrender of my sins to the Cross. It's only then that we can receive the redemptive work of Jesus. I am humbled to share the letter, for God's glory, with the world through this medium.
Now, there's more! God has continued His work in and through me with other writings, including two Gospel tracts, a workshop on sexuality through the lens of God's Word, and two upcoming books (currently with the publishers):
SACRED SEXUALITY: Revealing God's Truth and Grace in a Confused World. and WORDS FOR A WOUNDED WORLD: Scriptural Poems of Truth and Hope to Awaken, Convict, and Heal. Be sure to check out MarkRichardMinistry on Facebook. See below for details about these exciting developments and for biblically-based posts to strengthen your faith.
To God Be the Glory! (None to me.)
About This Website
In late November 2023, I received a strong impression to address, in a letter, those identifying as gay and Christian from my personal journey of recognizing my error, repenting, and embracing a life devoted to following Jesus Christ. The letter, titled In Error to God’s Heir, was based by
two and a half years of diligent preparation through study
of the Word, prayer, fellowship, and fasting and guided by
the indwelling Holy Spirit.
My letter combines a humble invitation, a bold acknowledgment of my sin, repentance, and full commitment to Christ, with more than 120 Biblical Scriptures spanning from Genesis to Revelation addressing the error of gay identity and being a Christ follower.
"If you abide in my Word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." John 8:31-32

I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind, but now I see.
These beautiful words from the hymn, "Amazing Grace," speak to my life and the transformative power of The Word of God and the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
These beautiful words from the hymn, Amazing Grace, speak to my life and the transformative power of The Word of God and the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
I was so very lost; I was a sinner who was perishing. While I was a success by the world's standards, I was spiritually bankrupt. I had deceived myself into thinking I was a good person. (Only God is the judge and standard for that.)
Sacred Sexuality
Workshop
Presented at churches across the region, the Sacred Sexuality workshop is a powerful, biblically-grounded experience that equips believers to understand and communicate God’s design for sexuality with clarity, conviction, and compassion. As the cultural conversation grows louder, this 3-hour interactive workshop is helping the Church respond with both truth and grace—and the impact has been undeniable.
