In memory of our friend Mark

Our dear friend and past director of Oak Forest, Mark Rieland, passed away from a long bout with cancer on Friday, March 21.  His suffering is now over as he rejoices in the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ!

In his honor, Mark's family has designated all memorial gifts to go to Oak Forest Retreat and Conference Center.

Ministry leadership has decided that all memorial gifts should be designated for Oak Forest's most urgent need; namely, a replacement well because the one current well has recently gone dry!

Thank you for your memorial gift towards our well project in honor of Mark!

Help us give our guests a life-changing experience

in memory of Mark Rieland.
