Mark Spencer of Grace Auto Repair Honors God While Serving Others’ Automotive Needs

By Lida H. Moore

Every day, Mark Spencer, owner of Grace Auto Repair and Transmission Center in Webster, strives to do his best to represent the Lord honorably with the calling God has placed on his life.

“I believe that with the Holy Spirit living in me and the Lord as my Savior, God holds me to a higher standard of honesty and integrity as I do the best I can in my business,” Spencer said. “The Holy Spirit is an active and living part of my life and He wants me to represent Him well in everything I do. So I constantly work to do the best I can on the cars that are brought into my shop.”

Spencer knew from an early age that he loved fixing things. As a teen, Spencer fixed neighbors’ lawn mowers, go carts, and motorbikes. He also jumped at the opportunity when he was 16 years old to buy a fixer-upper automobile and then with the help of friends transform it into a working vehicle that he was very proud of. “I knew that I had a natural talent for repairing things, and God has given me the opportunity to use this gift,” he said.

But the most transforming event of Spencer’s life was when he accepted the Lord as His Savior when he was 12 years old through his participation in a friend’s youth group. He realized he needed Jesus to be Lord of his life and began to seek opportunities to grow in His faith by becoming involved in churches through worship, fellowship, and serving in various ministries. Today, Spencer and his family are active members of New Covenant Fellowship Church in Penfield, NY.
