Hello, I’m Maren!

I am so excited to see how God will use me again this summer! I went with AIM last summer to India and God showed up in so many ways. I know He will this summer too!

So, about me.

The Basics:

  • I am from Spencer, Iowa
  • Currently a sophomore at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa 
  • I am Theatre major
  • I have one older sister and two loving parents
  • I work at a thrift store that supports local and global missions

Other Fun Facts:

  • I also work in the lighting department in the theatre department so I spend a lot of time hanging off beams 30 feet in the air
  • I LOOOVE tea and coffee
  • Exploring new places is one of my favorite things to do
  • I have a large funky sock collection
  • I enjoy painting 

How God led me here:

In 2016, I went to Haiti for the first time with my job. While I was there, I felt God calling me to do mission work full time. After my return, I was not sure if this feeling truly was from God, or my own desire. At work one day I found a metal sign that said, “Here I am Lord send me. Isaiah 6:8”. Right then and there I decided to follow God’s calling on my life. Ever since, I have had this burning passion for mission work, both domestic and international. Like I said before, I went to India last summer and God continued to call me into missions and revealed so many things to me. He is SOOO good. 

I invite you to follow my journey and see where God is leading me over the next few months. 

To the King!
