Mark McCarter - FBC Okeechobee

Joining The Church Around the World from rural south-central Florida, Pastor Mark McCarter of First Baptist Church of Okeechobee talks with host Dan Ehrman about how God is drawing a remarkable portion of their county to church. Mark shares glimpses of rural Florida life—farming, alligators, and all—and offers practical insights for church leaders into how the church is engaging its community and reaching the next generation with the gospel.

Originally from rural Alabama, McCarter says God uniquely prepared him to serve in a small-town – though there’s only about 5,000 residents, Okeechobee is the largest town he’s lived in. Mark walks us through his ministry journey and reflects on the awe he feels being part of what God is doing at FBC Okeechobee today.
