Sharing the Word
Executive Director
Taylor Teel
“I grew up in a household of faith but came to know the Lord as an 11 year old when the Lord revealed the grip sin had on me and that no matter what, I could not rescue myself from my sin. It was then that I confessed my sin, surrendered my life to Jesus. Two of my favorite verses are 1 John 1:9 and Colossians 1:13.”

Administrative Assistant
Julia Littlejohn
“I grew up in a Christian home. Therefore, it is difficult for me to remember a day where the Lord has not been at the center of life’s daily choices.
My faith became my own when I was faced with trials and suffering. The Lord has taught me through those trials and sufferings that He is the only source of joy and hope and that in everything He is sovereign. Getting to work at Marannook is a sweet gift the Lord has written into my story and has taught me how much better His plan is for me.”
