For those that don’t know, Mark A. Randall was a stalwart campus pastor at Murray State for several decades, starting in the 1970’s and running until his passing in 2014. For us (Todd & Cassie Broker) Mark served as our faithful campus pastor during our time in college (2004-2008). And our experience was so impactful and meaningful that we then served under him in ministry as part of his volunteer leadership team right up until 2014.

We have always believed, and continue to believe, that Mark was a true spiritual hero on Murray State’s campus for all those years, importantly allowing God to flow through him to influence innumerable students away from the kingdom of darkness and towards the Kingdom of Light during his tenure. Cassie and I are two such students whose lives are forever changed because of Mark’s Godliness, faithfulness and commitment.

We think it’s important to honor such a man and his Godly legacy. And those that knew Mark knew that campus ministry was near and dear to his heart, so we feel that the best way to honor Mark is to establish a student campus ministry award program in his honor. We are calling it the MARCIS AWARD (Mark A. Randall College Internship for Students Award).

The MARCIS AWARD began in 2023 as a student internship within the 212 Campus Ministry at Murray State.

As of 2025, the MARCIS program has transitioned to an Awards Program in an effort to include and honor more students for their contributions to ministry. So we now seek to honor several students each semester with a MARCIS Award plaque and monetary prize, who have plugged into the 212 Campus Ministry for more than a year, excelled in their own spiritual growth and development, and have passionately pursued service, outreach, and discipleship on behalf of the Kingdom of God.

If you would like to help fund this initiative in Mark’s honor, you can give directly by mailing a check to PO Box 1398, Murray, KY, 42071 and put in the memo line MARCIS AWARD. Or, you can give securely online by clicking the direct giving link below.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support for this program to honor Mark Randall and to bless the 212 Campus Ministry, which continues to honor Mark's legacy at Murray State to this day.

Thank you with love - Todd & Cassie Broker
