Update from Maranatha

MARANATHA: BUILT ON VOLUNTEER SUPPORT

Maranatha Volunteers International, as the name implies, is an organization built on volunteer support. Volunteer engagement took a hit during the global pandemic. For 2023, volunteer numbers are looking up. There have been a total of 1,926 volunteers yearto-date, indicating that Maranatha is on track to meet its year-end projection of 2,300.

In 2022 there were 28 volunteer trips. In contrast, 2023 has already seen 43 trips, with 13 more scheduled before year’s end. These figures mark a joyous return to pre-pandemic norms and is evidence of Maranatha’s enthusiastically resilient volunteer base.

“To see volunteers finally coming back to the field in large numbers in 2023 is really exciting because our mission is fully accomplished only with them and through each of them,” says Maranatha’s Vice President for Volunteer Services, Lisandro Staut.

Maranatha Volunteers International, a non-profit, Christian organization, mobilizes volunteers to build churches, schools, water wells, and other urgently needed structures around the world.

Labor Day Funnies

My wife came home from work yesterday and was raging about her boss. She said to me, “I’m never going to work for that man again!”

I asked her, “Why, what did he say to you?”

She said, “You’re fired.”

My boss made me go into the office on Labor Day. Halfway through the day, he came in to check up on me and caught me having a beer.

He said to me, “You can’t drink while you’re working.”

I said, “Oh, don’t worry – I’m not working.”

The Labor Day holiday means I get my unemployment check a day late.
