Maranatha's calling and commission exceeds its town, state, and the region of New England. As a truly apostolic work, MCC strives to fulfill the Great Commission (Mt. 28) through the pattern of Acts 1 - "Jerusalem, all of Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth." Apostle Rick's heart beats for the nations of the world, where he finds ever increasing opportunity to minister.
A History of Going and Sending
Under Bishop Callahan's leadership and the direction of the Holy Spirit, Maranatha has planted five churches and sent out nearly 200 short-term missionaries. Today it supports several full-time missionaries on three different continents. Recent trips by the staff and congregation include, Ireland, Panama, South Africa, Israel, and India. Before Pastor Matt left for Africa, he and the Firehouse Youth ministered in Juarez, Mexico in July 2004 and members of MCC traveled to the Dominican Republic in November 2004 and again in November 2005.
