Re: Mark Jackson
Letter of referral
My first acquaintance with Mark was by telephone. An acquaintance that can only be described as “God
ordained”. The two things that impressed me during those first and subsequent conversations by
telephone were Mark’s ability and desire to listen intently, a very rare characteristic, along with his deep
sincerity.
Over the years since I have become close friends with Mark. I have found a number of other
characteristics that have deepened our friendship and earned my respect. I can say with a great deal of
certainty that Mark is a man of deep morale character, with amazing drive and determination to
become a better person. He has a long list of accomplishments, ideas that he has brought to fruition.
He is enormously gifted and talented. He has deep dedication to the ideals he lives by. He desires to be
used by God to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Mark has been through and overcome difficulties in his life that many only read about in books. He is a
better person because of it. He has been in some very deep valleys, but rather than use that as an
excuse, he has risen above and defeated those times of deep sadness and gut-wrenching challenges. He
understands that it has been his God that has carried him through it all. He unashamedly gives credit to
his creator for every good thing that has and will yet occur in his life.
My life has already and will no doubt continue to be blessed because of this enduring friendship.
Very Sincerely,
Bev W. Gambrel
