Mark Canfora Ministries was established after my oldest child of five, Mark Jr., went home to be with the Lord on July 12, 2005. There have been thousands of salvations in Christ (including over 300 at the funeral services) and millions have heard the testimony of how great and loving God is during our most difficult of times. The ministry has evolved into several outreach ministries listed below:
Celebration of Life Festivals: Annual gatherings celebrating the gift of life at birth, our salvation and new life in Jesus Christ and then our eternal life in heaven. Ohio Festival • Florida Festival
Read and Believe Ministry: An outreach ministry to promote the Gospel of Christ through products that people read and then believe. We offer many items such as posters, shirts, etc. with a scriptural message of hope and healing. www.ReadandBelieve.com
I've Got Hope Ministry: A message of hope and healing to parents, families and friends of recently deceased children and loved ones. Mark Canfora delivers a powerful message of hope to all that feel hopeless while fearing they will never see that child again child. www.markfest.org
Missions Trips: There is a trip planned to Kenya Africa for the fall of 2009 sharing the Hope and Celebration of life messages with lost, hurting and grieving Kenyans that recently suffered tragedy.

A message from Mark Canfora:
The Bible clearly says that you will know them by their fruit. Our fruit in this ministry is truly measured by the thousands of souls saved and millions of Gospel seed planted into people's lives through all areas of this ministry. Since Mark Jr.'s entry into heaven and his funeral services where over 300 accepted Jesus as Lord & Savior, there have been three annual Celebration of Life Festivals and thousands continue to hear the truth of how great God is and the hope that there is in Jesus Christ. Presently we are sharing this message in Ohio, Florida, the Southeast United States and God has plans for Kenya Africa in 2009.
Please join us as we "Celebrate Life and share the Message of Hope" in Jesus Christ!
Matthew 7
The Narrow and Wide Gates 13 - Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 - But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit 15 - Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 - By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 - Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 - Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them
