As Adventist Review’s senior news correspondent, Marcos has traveled the world covering stories for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and has the unique experience of coming to the mission of Maranatha via journalism. Early in his time at Adventist Review, he was asked to cover the dedication of a Maranatha-built sanctuary in Cuba. He went, and was impressed with the dedication of Maranatha volunteers, donors, and staff. Since then, he’s been on more assignments involving Maranatha, and talks about the excitement of gathering unexpected stories in the mission field, and how God brings specific people into his path to help tell each story.
Marcos reflects on his time at the Kajiado Adventist School and Rescue Center in Kenya, a long-term project for Maranatha from 2018-2024. He shares how he and his family were moved by their experience serving the Maasai girls there who had escaped child marriage and female genital mutilation. As a journalist, he talks about how hard it is to not let these stories impact you personally, and how his exposure to Maranatha has expanded his view of missions.
Marcos’ first experience with Maranatha at the dedication of the Cardenas Seventh-day Adventist Church in Cuba led to several articles for Adventist Review, two of which you can read below:
