“Mark Ashton, Vicar of St Andrew the Great Church in Cambridge (STAG) since 1987, died this last Saturday from cancer at the age of 62.

He had known he was dying for over a year, and used that time to strengthen his witness to the Christian hope of salvation through the death and Resurrection of Jesus – a hope which he offered faithfully throughout his ministry. He has served the Lord and the Lord’s people with faithfulness and distinction, and many others have come to the Lord through him. Alleluia!…”

– David Thomson, Bishop of Huntingdon in the Diocese of Ely, is one of many who have written with thanksgiving for the life and ministry of Mark Ashton. See also Mark’s words of testimony on the linked video.

Gavin McGrath also thanks God for Mark Ashton, and John Allister shares these words.

Please uphold in prayer all of Mark’s family, and the church at Cambridge at this time.
