And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these. – Mark 12:33
These relationships are the building blocks for all of life. Our relationship with God is broken by sin. We realize that this is the most important relationship to rebuild and it is the center of Mark 12 Ministries.
Mark 12 Ministries meets the needs of the community by building relationships and sharing the Gospel with individuals in order to break the spiritual, social, and material bonds of poverty.
Homelessness is a growing issue impacting individuals, churches, and communities. Mark 12 Ministries is committed to being part of the solution, and doing so as a witness for Christ, who call us to love our homeless neighbors and welcome the stranger. As a veteran, a churchman, and a Kentucky Baptist missionary, Executive Director Perry Cooke understands the plight of the homeless and desires to equip individuals and churches to minister to them. I commend Mark 12 Ministries to you and your church as a strategic partner.
I am so grateful for Mark12’s thoughtful, sensitive, and dignifying approach to help some of the most vulnerable and lonely in our region. Those that have been served by them have not only found temporary relief but also a pathway to a more hopeful future.
Mark 12 Ministries provides a wide array of services aimed at breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty. We are committed to sharing the gospel and meeting the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of men and women who are homeless.

Mark 12 Ministries has made an impact on the lives of many. Last year we served 69 individuals, many who have found a new purpose in life. We celebrate those who have found healing in their lives.
Mark12 began with the idea that no one should have to sleep in a tent or on a bench in the freezing cold, putting themselves in physical danger. The White Flag Shelter provided a warm and safe place for those in need to rest and heal. It served as a refuge for the homeless during cold winter nights. The White Flag Shelter will always be remembered as a place of beginnings that brought hope and awareness to the ever-present need in Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington, and other Bullitt County cities. Meals were provided by local churches, businesses, and community members who devoted much of their time so others could know and experience the love of Christ. The White Flag Shelter was the starting point for Mark12, and since then, our services have expanded to cover a continuum of care for the less fortunate.
