Kim Marks ('98)

A visit to Kim Marks's ('98) website is always a blessing. She serves the Rom people in Romania under Baptist Mid-Missions. Check out www.krazymarks.com to read her blog.

Wayne Mix ('91)


Wayne Mix ('91) has been serving at Ironwood Christian Camp in Newberry Springs, California since graduating from Maranatha. He recently wrote of the fall couples retreat... "Two couples came having started the divorce process, during the retreat, the Lord worked and by the end of it, both couples went home deciding to stay together!"

Wayne continued: "I thank the Lord for our little church out here!! We had a firefighter Sunday a few weeks ago, 28 firefighters and family showed up."

Ironwood.org offers the following staff description:

Wayne came to Ironwood in the early 90's as a summer grounds crew worker. In the fall of 1993, he joined full-time staff. He has worked on the the grounds and hospitality teams and is now also working in the business office with accounts payable. During the summer, he is very busy teaching and working with the high schoolers participating in Leadership Institute. During the non-summer months, he helps the program team by leading skills activities and hikes as well as helping wash all those dirty dishes. On skit nights, a fellow named Morphil (who looks kind of like Wayne) frequently shows up.


Andrew Carlson ('05)

2005 accounting and marketing graduate, Andrew Carlson, told me that he “received probably the best Christmas gift ever on Saturday, December 22nd” – no, he did not get engaged! He told me that he “received a passing grade on the REG (Tax and Law) section of the CPA exam, which now completes the CPA journey for me.” At System Parking in Chicago, he’s moving into a new role as Director of Client Relations.
