Mark, the last five years have brought much pain and sorrow to me and my family with the loss of my mother, brother-in-law, and this past summer my husband. I was having a terrible week in February and I couldn’t quit crying. On one of those days my daughter and I were messaging one another and she was trying to encourage me. I just couldn’t get it together that day. On her lunch break she called me and told me she just heard a Mark Schultz song that I just had to hear. She told me to listen to “Love Has Come”. I immediately listened to it and I cannot tell you how much it touched me at that moment. When I heard “Well I Know this life is filled with sorrow and there are days when the pain just lasts and lasts” I sobbed and sobbed because that is exactly how I was feeling and then I lifted my hands in praise to God for his love and for the hope and joy he brings to me in the midst of my sorrow. God knew I needed that song at that moment on that day and I have no doubt he orchestrated that. I went to your website to see what album that song was on and I saw the dates for your “Come Alive” tour. I saw that you would be in Meridian, Ms. on 5/1/10. I called my daughter and told her about it and the next thing I knew she called me back and told me we had artist circle tickets. I was so excited. My spirit was renewed and I knew I would make it. I sing this song all the time and I can’t wait for the day when my tears are washed away with a break in the clouds, his glory coming down. He is such an awesome God. He is constantly reminding me of his love for me and my family and that he has never left us. Thank you for your ministry and your music. I just wanted you to know that your music makes a difference and touches lives. I am looking forward to seeing you in Meridian, Ms.
1 Corinthians 1:4-6 “I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.”
Thank you Mark for sharing your awesome gift of songwriting and music. The first time I heard “Love Has Come”, it struck a chord with me. Little did I know I would lose a cousin, age 25, very suddenly last week and I have found myself being able to be both be sad and to give praise over and over again through that song. I feel like the Lord gave you that song just for me. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.
Someone sent me a clip of your son, “he’s my son.” It was a moving song and also because of what we are going thru .. our 8 month old grandson, Declan, has been diagnosed with an incurable cancer. The doctors have few positive messages to offer, but he keeps smiling and coming back from every setback with more smiles. I believe it is the power of prayer and your song reiterates that belief. Please keep making this kind of music. Our family will be listening and one day maybe we will make a cruise with you when Declan is well. Thank you.
Mark, my son, Jason, passed away on August 10th, 2009 at the age of 24 years. He had a maligant melanoma removed from his left shoulder in August of 2006 and was given the “all clear” by his doctors. Unfortunately, April 2009, brought some devastating news. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor with maligant melanoma that had mastastized to several organs and his bones. Matthew Wests’ song “I’ll Praise You in this Storm” and the prayers of family and friends brought us through his radiation and chemotherapy treatments. It was amazing to see the calm and peace that he felt during this time and during the last 10 days of his life here on earth. Your song “Love Has Come” has been a God send during this difficult time of grief. Although, I know my tears will end, and I will “see him (them) once again,” it has been very difficult not seeing or talking with him every day. What I would give for one of his hugs. Then, again, I am reminded that I “will see him once again,” and “in that moment, very knee shall bow, every tongue confess, that God is Love, Love has come for us all.” How awesome is that! It definitely speaks to us all. Thank you so much for letting God speak through you. It has encouraged my heart, and touched the lifes of my family and friends. Thank you for this amazing reminder that there IS going to be a better day. May God continue to richly bless you.
Hey i am sooooo excited!!!!
going to your concert tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoop whoop!
Mark,
I went to your concert last night in Marion, Illinois. I moved here 2 months ago to open a Bed& Breakfast and Restaurant (Jasones), coming back after leaving as a child, 30 years ago.
I LOVED this concert. After, I thanked you. I am sure you won’t remember…you have so many, many fans and people you deal with on a daily basis. So, I wanted to thank you again…for all to see. Not only for the concert but for teaming up with God to save my life! Literally!
7 years ago Christmas Eve, my beautiful son/best friend/soulmate and only child, Jason died unexpectedly. I was unable to go on. I didn’t want to go on…I died too.. It was YOUR music that kept me going. I listened daily for over 3 years. Through your music, God spoke to me/filled me with the holy spirit. The rest is history. I am alive and I moved back to my roots and as stated, I am opening a bed and breakfast and restaurant in my sons honor. (he was going to become a master chef) While, I quit my job and took this plunge, I am exactly where God wants me to be.
If and when you come back to Marion, I would like to offer you room and board (free of hassles from fans) and meals for free.
Today, June 18, is Jason’s birthday.
This is quick and sweet, but it is so heartfelt that words could never come close to expressing.
Once again, Mark, thank you.
God bless,
Debbie

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. As a birthmom, I have been blessed to have heard your song, Everthing to Me. You have no idea how many birthmoms you have touched with this song. I am the birthmom to a beautiful 23 year old girl and have been blessed to be able to hold her in my arms when I never even dreamed of seeing her again. I found this song right before we met for the first time and it really helped me and I know many others to deal with the pain we all feel when placing a child for adoption. Again, my thanks to you for giving all birthmoms hope.
I am so glad I found Jesus and ur song “he’s my son” made me realize that I was among those who hurt him as I commit sin everyday. I love Jesus and I pray that His Grace sees me through because I love Him and want to make heaven on the last day. Thanks Mark and I pray that as You touch lives, You won’t miss heaven too and that He’s anointing upon you will not cease.
