Pastor Mark Graham felt a calling to be in the ministry at the early age of 11 years old. By the age of 11 he had already held his first revival meeting.
At the age of 20, Pastor Mark married his beautiful wife Linda and they began their evangelistic ministry travelling from church to church across the southern part of the nation. For the first 7 years of their marriage, they travelled and ministered anywhere between 275 to 300 days a year. Then in 1995 they pioneered their first church in the small Texas town of Nocona which eventually led the ministry to birth Overcoming Word Praise Center International in Wichita Falls. The vision of OWPCI is simple, to fulfill the call of God by preaching and teaching the Word of God and by being living, breathing examples of God’s power and ability to save, deliver, heal, and prosper the Body of Christ.
