Long-time Maranatha volunteer turned staff member talks about her transition from serving with the organization to working for it. She recounts how she first got into short term missions, how it has impacted herself and her family, and why she has a passion for using service to reach youth. She describes Maranatha’s 2024 high school mission trip to the Andes mountains of Peru, Ultimate Workout, including an extraordinary story of answered prayer. You can watch Ultimate Workout volunteer, Mary Arrick, tell her testimony that Dina references here: https://watch.maranatha.org/videos/cv24b-arrick

Dina talks about how she’s grown closer to God through Maranatha, and why mission trips seem to put people in just the right place to connect with God in new ways. She shares her most recent project in the Dominican Republic, working on the Ciudad del Cielo School, dedicated to the memory of Maranatha’s late vice president of projects, Darrell Hardy.
