I've been a member of the Board of Directors since 2011 and past treasurer.

We give comfort and support these individuals. It is a pleasure to serve this organization and use my talents for God's work.

"My name is Mark Timken, the board representative for Mt Olive Lutheran Church located in the Village of Weston. The qualifications description for the position of a board member for Greater Wausau Christian Services is stated as follows: A caring person with a heart for institutionalized persons and persons confined to the jail.
Serving the City of Wausau as a police officer from 1987 until 2010 included work responsibilities of providing many with rides to the Marathon County Jail. Serving Marathon County as a para-transit driver for the Marathon County Transportation Dept with the North Central Health Care Center since 2011 is continuing to provide me with the privilege of providing rides to many that have lost much independence and are currently living at Health Care Facilities and those that are home bound but yet are in need of community support.
It is my own sincere desire and my hope is solidly founded on my faith that the Lord Jesus Christ is presented today through the works of his people. How like God, who loves to exchange our quilt, shame, and isolation for His forgiveness, courage, and community!" Mark Timken

"I initially became involved with GWCS in 2006 when I joined a ministry program at my church
going into the Marathon County Jail helping to facilitate Women’s Bible Study. I then learned of the Breaking Barriers Program and started facilitating that program in 2010 as well as implementing it at the Langlade County Jail. I have always been very fond of GWCS’s and the outreach they do for those that are “in the system” and feel there is no hope. Although I’m no longer facilitating Breaking Barriers due to my own career change, I now accepted a board member position for GWCS so I can help this amazing organization became more known within the community."
