"To put off the old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and its corrupt though deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."

Ephesians 4:22-24 

Meet Reverend Marilyn Mars, a Servant of God, Mother, Spiritual Consultant, Marriage Officiant and Master Life Coach who has an ardent desire in helping to bring restoration to lives. She knows that in order to do so, she must meet people where they are in life. 

Born in the beautiful country of Guyana, South America, she migrated to the United States in the year 2007 and was ordained as a Minister in 2011.

Marilyn has always had an inclination towards spirituality since a teenager, she was nicknamed "Joseph the Dreamer", and "Martin Luther King", by her siblings because she oftentimes awoke in the morning and told of dreams she had while asleep. The miraculous side of this was that most of her dreams did not take long to manifest, to the point that it help save some of her family members from running into danger because of messages she got about them from dreams.  Then she had call to serve God that inspired her to be baptized in the year 1989. At this significant time in her life; now a mother of two young male children, she  received her serious call into ministry. 

HER DEDICATION AND LEADERSHIP

She began to first serve as an Evangelist, then moved into the call to the Prophetic and Teaching Ministry. Exhortation was her primary and natural gifting from God, and she travelled tirelessly from village to village in Guyana preaching the gospel, sometimes with other church members, but most times alone. 

Having a heart to serve people she ministered in hospitals to the sick, in institutions for the elderly, lead prayer meetings, taught in bible clubs for adults and children, giving spiritual advice and mentorship to many. She also served in the church's soup kitchens and homeless shelters.

Although loving the Lord, and being in His service, her life was not devoid of pain, trials, setbacks, lack and even at one time homelessness. However, these difficulties in life never deter her from serving God and the people she was called to minister to whether in groups or individually. Her personal experiences with many life setbacks and her ability to raise up from these setback through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit gives her credibility in understanding and being able to interrelate with and give guidance to others.  

THE DIVINE COMMISSION TO TRANSFORN LIVES

In the midst of all her setbacks, she was given this great divine commission and in March 2012 Marilyn Mars Ministries of Restoration was launched with the vision of helping people regardless of their state of condition in life to find a pathway towards restoration: Spirit, Mind and Body. Restoration is a process, the renewing of individual hearts; minds; turning away from sin and returning to God; restoring broken families, marriages, and even physical bodies is a continuous process which involves being dedicated to encouraging individuals on this path.

Marilyn's dedication towards seeing lives transformed positively, may have made her receptive to this godly assignment which she embraces with so much diligence and enthusiasm.
