Tribute to Mark McWhorter

Mark McWhorter and his wife, Teah, married in 1977. To this union were born five daughters and one son; Mark and Teah have two grandsons.

Brother and sister McWhorter have homeschooled all of their children, and they were original Board members of Roundhouse, an annual encampment for members of the church who homeschool. In addition, they were administrators for eight years for an Alabama cover school for homeschoolers. Through Chula Vista Books, Mark and Teah not only sell religious books and related materials, but they sell homeschool materials, too. Mark also buys and resells preachers’ libraries.

Member of Ashville (Alabama) Church of Christ, Mark has made numerous mission trips overseas, including to Australia, Ukraine, Belize and England. Qualified by his education and professional experience, brother McWhorter includes among his foreign efforts presentations on Biblical Medical Ethics; he has worked as a Nurse Clinician in Open Heart Surgery Recovery at the University of Alabama in Birmingham for 29 years. In that position he overseas the direct post-operative clinical intensive care of congenital, adult, artificial circulatory device implant, and heart/lung transplantation patients.

Brother McWhorter has written for several brotherhood publications and lectureship books over the years. He has written Wisdom’s Corner, a weekly Internet column for children, for 13 years; for several years, he has graciously allowed Gospel Gazette Online to include two of those columns monthly in its pages; each of these columns that has appeared in GGO remain available in the Archive, which can be searched with an onsite search engine. This issue of GGO is primarily populated with articles from brother Mark McWhorter as a tribute to his dedication and continuing service as an effective tool in the hands of Almighty God. Thank you, Mark (and Teah) for all you have done, and continue to do for the cause of Christ.
