About Us


Mark Wayne Ranck

Mark W. Ranck was born in Williamsport, PA. He grew up with his mom and dad playing the guitar and singing country music and old gospel hymns. His talent premiered at age ten as he played the organ with his grandfather, and later in a little country church. His teen years, however, led his obsession for music onto a different road; the road of a professional musician. He perfected his skills as a composer, singer, pianist, guitarist and trumpeter while performing in various venues, but his dreams of fulfillment in musicianship left him with the reality of intense emptiness.

Finally in 1992, he realized that the only way to fill the void in his soul was to accept his need for God and turn his life over to Jesus Christ. His passion for worship grew as his love for Christ deepened. In 1996 he was ushered into the world of passionate worship and has since found himself continually leading others to the throne of God—through music.

Aida Yabut

Aida Yabut was born in the bustling city of Manhattan, New York. Her father’s Filipino heritage gifted him with musical talent that accompanied her mother’s lyrical Puerto Rican voice beautifully.

Aida started singing at the age of four, and was brought up in a loving church body, which taught her about the love of God. As the years progressed, so did her passion for worship through music. She developed her skills at singing, playing the violin, piano and acting as well as directing drama and musical productions. She took her talents to Mexico on her first “Missions” trip where her life changed forever. Understanding that learning English could be a help to many in their endeavor to rise above poverty, she earned her Masters degree in teaching English. She shared her way of instructing and developed a curriculum for teaching English that is now being used in Rwanda, the Congo, other countries in Africa, and Asia. Aida’s sole focus in life has always been to use her talents to inspire others to learn, love and enter the sweet presence of God Almighty.

Worship Guild has now developed an online enrichment academy that specializes in teaching music, drama, art, Spanish, ESL, other academic subjects as well as a mentorship program for worship leaders. We have also produced an uplifting, modern worship music CD, “Called to Your Glory” with all original songs composed and performed by Mark W. Ranck and Aida Yabut.
