Mark Hopson is a graduate of Biolo University and he went on to get his Master of Arts degree in New Testament from Talbot School of Theology. He’s been working for an organization since 2006 called Decision Point: An organization that equips Christian students as “teen evangelists” to reach their peers and classmates for Christ. To date, they’ve seen over 10,000 students from 500 schools give their lives to Christ through on-campus, student-led outreach events. He is now the President of this organization
