Renee

Renee is also a graduate of the program and serves as our court liaison- going to court dates representing Maranatha for ladies, and going with ladies should they have any while at Maranatha.

She has the softest heart, loves getting to pour back into the program that helped her, and into these ladies who are working the program like she did. She loves each and every one of these ladies and cheerleads for them throughout their journey here.

We love you, Renee!

Liza

This probably going to be a little harder to write, because I (Liza) am the one making it! Haha.

Liza manages the social media, website, documents and security measures for the program as well as teaching a modesty class for each "cycle" ladies.

As Pastor Ken and Ms. Di's daughter, she grew up around Maranatha with all the ladies that have come through the program throughout the years- now honored to be staff. Liza loves these ladies so much and does what she can to help pour into each one.

Love you, Liza!

Jennifer

She is an Administrative assistant to Ms. Di; helping however she is needed, and is on the one- site apartment manager for the ladies in Phases 3 & 4. Jennifer handles the drug testing for all the residents, apartment inspections, some of the book work for the program, and making sure each lady has their portion of property yard work finished. Additionally, she teaches a weekly class with residents.

Jennifer is a graduate of Maranatha herself, knowing exactly what it takes to go through this program. She loves these ladies, wants the absolutely best for each one of them, pushes them to do their best and believes in each and every one of them to cross that "finish line".

We love you, Jennifer!

Ms. Di

She is the program administrator, meeting with the ladies every week for phase appointments. Making sure they got it done, understand all the work for the upcoming week, and helping them through any they are unsure of.

When the time comes, Ms. Di is the one who goes and picks up any new resident and brings them, as well as almost the entirety of the intake when they do arrive on property.

Ms. Di is a very special woman, who gives the program all she's got. She loves and pours into these ladies 1000% and we wouldn't know what we'd do without her!

We love you, Ms. Di!

Pastor Ken

The amount of love and mercy that he has for others is undeniably God-given. He becomes a father figure for most of our ladies, and loves them as his own daughters.

Pastor is such a vital member of the Maranatha team, and is ready and willing for whoever needs help. His kindness and love he has for others is unmatched.

We love you, Pastor Ken!

Ms. Barb

She has been with us longer than any other staff member. She had literally given and dedicated her entire life to the ladies that come through this program.

From getting up at 5am to take ladies to work, talking them to appointments, job interviews, Bible studies every morning, making sure their up every morning, grocery shopping, cleaning the church- you name it.

Her loads been lightened some now, with our new house managers help- but boy has this lady earned it!

Ms. Barb absolutely loves each and every lady that's come through Maranatha like they were her own. We don't know what we'd do without her!

We love you Ms. Barb!
