Paul Nordmark
Million Stone Man Ministries was inspired after God's calling on Paul's life when he was 19 years old, a year after he gave his life to Jesus Christ. Paul went on to graduate from Rhema Bible Training Center in Missions. Then he was led into building landscapes by moving several million stones with his hands while guided and directed by the Holy Spirit. These inspirational works of art have glorified the name of Jesus Christ, have changed lives for the kingdom of God, and were preparation for ministry. Psalm 40:1-3 "I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined to me, He also brought me up out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God, many will see it and fear, and trust in the Lord."
A man once told Paul that the stones he put in a yard were speaking to him, that God is a creative God, and that He uses ordinary people to make big statements. ~
The Word of God says that if we do not Praise Him, the very stones will cry out! Luke 19:40
Beginning at a very young age, Paul Nordmark had an tremendous interest in rocks and plants. A rock collection was stored throughout his room and under his bed. Instead of super hero's, photos of landscapes covered his bedroom walls. Paul helped his mother care for the plants in the rock gardens which his father had built as a child. After many challenging teenage years at the age of 24 Paul felt led to start a small lawn mowing business out of the back of his car. The Lord guided Paul day-by-day from using a lawn mower to building over 1,000 garden structures that span across America.
In 2001, Paul published his book that was dedicated to Jesus, "Inspirational Terracing," which has gone into countries where people are persecuted for Christ. In 2007, 2008, and 2011 Paul produced each volume in a DVD series "Amazing Landscape Transformations." God has prepared Paul for ministry through unthinkable trials and dangers in facing tremendous land challenges. Paul relied on his faith, prayer, and trust in God for the vision and protection he needed daily. The creativity, materials, inspiration, and perseverance came through childlike faith to get through the most challenging circumstances, as he installed thousands of pounds of materials to create each masterpiece. Paul was never alone. God even carried him when he flipped his bobcat over a series of four retaining walls, dropped 14 feet down, and landed on all four wheels. God just recently protected Paul as a speeding car came right toward him while unloading rocks and plowed right into the back of his truck, Paul only had two seconds to jump out of the way. He was the only one out of six people who didn't end up going to the hospital in that accident, he walked away untouched by the grace of God.
With no formal education in landscape or architecture, Paul's work has been featured in National Brochures for retaining stones, in Landscape Contractor Magazine, and newspaper articles "Landscapes Inspired By Faith." He has been interviewed on national radio programs twice. Paul has been taught everything he knows by the Holy Spirit, Who guides him by faith. Paul resides in the Inland Empire with his wife, Christina Nordmark, and they have 6 beautiful children. He has had hundreds of experiences where the Lord has guided him supernaturally in creating works of art for people to enjoy! Paul has inspirational messages for people to help them discover their gifts, to be Spirit led, to develop perseverance, to live in the fruit of the Spirit and to glorify God in the gifts they have been given. His messages are all on overcoming the difficult hillsides and challenges in your life by faith and turning them into something beautiful. (View Ministry Highlights and contact page above)
