I want to say happy birthday to my Spiritual Father Mark Reetz. He has mentored me for 10 years and has been a father to the fatherless in this community for many years. Today is a day to honour him for the man of God he is for seeking and saving the lost and equipping the church to go out in the world and make disciples. His heart for the broken in this community, especially the homeless, the downtrodden and the abused and the trafficked has made an impact on many lives including mine because I know I wouldn’t be here unless Holy Spirit brought him to the very house, I was in bo***ge at from mental health issues, same-sex relationships and the occult.  Jesus gets all the glory, praise and honour but today is a day to celebrate not only what Jesus has done in our life but today’s a day to celebrate Mark Reetz as a pillar in this community by reaching the very hearts that area broken and it took a street preacher over 20 years ago in the Des Moines area to make a difference. Today Team Jesus Of Iowa had the opportunity to celebrate his birthday but also he was in the community sharing the gospel and feeding the very hearts and families that are in need of food during the season. God bless you Mark and we all appreciate you and honor you.
