Prayer is the heartbeat of the ministry. Whether it’s praying for healing, deliverance, or encouragement, Mark and his team believe in the power of coming together in faith to seek God’s presence.
Through open-air Bible studies to conference calls to webinars, or small group gatherings, we help individuals grow in their understanding of Scripture and discover how to live it out daily.
The Gospel is not only heard—it’s shown through acts of compassion. We serve individuals and families in need by providing clothing, food, and hygiene essentials to those who are struggling or homeless.
Christians are among the quietest believers in the world. Many attend church every Sunday but do not witness to lost souls on the streets who need to hear the Gospel. Our ministry understands that sharing the Gospel requires a sacrifice of time, but leading even one person to receive the gift of eternal life is a precious offering to God. Through the righteous transformation that God offers, those who seek Him and obey His Word can experience a renewed life in Christ.
We welcome volunteers to assist with the distribution of food, clothing, and essential hygiene supplies to individuals and families in need.
Help us raise awareness of the mission and support the cause of Watchman on the Waters through your generous donations.

“Reaching the Streets. Restoring Hearts. Revealing Christ.”
Mark Wills is a man whose life reflects the transforming power of faith, perseverance, and compassion. Originally from Guyana, South America, Mark has lived in the United States since the 1970s, building a life centered on hard work, family, and love for others.
He is a proud father of six children, two of whom are married, and a joyful grandfather to four grandchildren.
Before entering ministry, Mark worked as a New York City sandhog, a member of the skilled union workforce responsible for constructing some of the city’s most iconic tunnels, including the Holland Tunnel. Those years of labor beneath the city taught him endurance, teamwork, and strength, all of which prepared him for his spiritual calling above ground.
Mark’s journey of faith began in 2008, following the passing of his mother, and deepened further after his father’s death a year and a half later. Through grief, God drew him into a personal relationship that changed his life forever. In 2013, Mark fully surrendered his life to the Lord and began serving Him wholeheartedly.
In 2021, Mark and his family took a bold step of faith by selling their home and moving to South America to do missionary work. During their time there, tragedy struck when their home in the jungle burned to the ground, destroying everything they owned. Yet, even in the midst of loss, Mark’s faith remained unshaken. He continued to trust that God was in control and would use their experience for His glory.
After returning to the United States, Mark faced serious health challenges, including sciatic nerve pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and vertigo. However, through every challenge, his determination to preach the everlasting Gospel only grew stronger.
Since mid-2024, Mark has faithfully shared God’s Word in public spaces, bringing hope, healing, and encouragement to all who will listen. His street ministry continues to grow, inspiring others to join him in spreading the message of Christ’s love.
Today, Mark Wills remains committed to his calling: to help those in need, share the Gospel with compassion, and demonstrate God’s power through a life of faith and perseverance.
His story reminds us that no matter the trials we face, God’s purpose and grace are always greater.
