Pastor Marla is a transformational and prophetic leader, speaker, writer, and anointed Bible teacher ordained by God “to preach the good news…bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom…comfort all who mourn….”

Marla dedicated her life to the Lord at the age of 21 years old. Over the years, the Lord has allowed Marla to serve in various leadership capacities in the Body of Christ. Pastor Marla has been a worship leader, prayer leader, conference facilitator, drama and fine arts leader, and executive director of a vacation bible camp.

Experiencing divorce, emotional brokenness, and raising two daughters alone, Pastor Marla understands the extensive wounds that can be suffered while facing life’s many challenges and difficulties with moving forward. Her relationship and dependence on God brought healing and restoration to her soul and an abundance in her life that she knows she would not have experienced without God’s Presence and Grace. This is the strength and spring from which her ministry and authority flows.

Pastor Marla’s focus on personal and professional development has led to a bachelor of science degree in business management from Roberts Wesleyan University (December 2022), a Certificate in Leadership from the National Institute of Christian Leadership, training in Restorative Practices, and a Certificate in Inner Healing and Deliverance from Destiny Training Academy under the leadership of Dr. Faith Wokoma. In 2014, Marla was featured in Rochester Woman Magazine for her work in Healing Springs.
