Called to the mission fields of the world at the young age of eight, Maria possesses a thriving hunger to effectively reach our generation with the truth of Jesus Christ.  Having studied and lived among the tribal peoples in Orissa, India and Belize, South America for a time, Maria is no stranger to reaching across the cultural barriers of this world as the hands of feet of Jesus.

 

A graduate of Christ For the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas and a licensed, credential minister under the headship of the Fellowship of Ministers and Churches (FMC), Maria balances a strong, academic understanding of the Word of God coupled with an experienced, Spirit-filled life as a Christian in her personal and public ministry.

 

Maria knows first hand the struggles that the women of our day face, as Maria's life can testify that she has learned to hold onto the promises of her God in the midst of any storm life can throw our way.  Maria exhibits a tremendous gifting in her ability to prophetically speak and discern with the Holy Spirit.  Much of this can be attributed to the mountains of adversity Maria has faced throughout her life.  A common phrase Maria holds onto is, "the best is yet to come."  And it is with this that Maria stands as a testimony to many that God keeps every promise He makes to us.

A frequent speaker and teacher in the past, Maria now walks with her husband, Jeffrey, in the opportunities that come their way throughout the Delaware Valley region.  TCHLTB Ministires is now the extension of Jeffrey and Maria's ministry, reaching the unreached with the love of Jesus Christ.
