Media Ministry
In 1980, the same year that Marcus met his wife Joni, He founded The Word of God Fellowship, the company that would eventually birth the Daystar Television Network. In 1984, Marcus and Joni moved to Montgomery, Alabama to begin WMCF-TV. This was the first full power Christian station in the state. Marcus and Joni built it to the point that it garnered interest from Trinity Broadcasting Network. They sold the station to TBN in 1990 and moved to Dallas, Texas. It was in Dallas that Marcus founded Daystar. At the end of 1997, the Daystar network was officially launched. Marcus is a regular speaker and teacher on his network and as a visitor in churches around the world. His most regular public forum is on Celebration, the Daystar flagship program. Every weekday, he hosts the show with Joni and speaks about the Bible and their network. Marcus has been named one of the top 50 most influential Christians in America by the Church Report Magazine.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or ministry:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
