Episode 121: A life of service with Jan Maruska
We are really looking forward to you hearing this conversation with Jan Maruska! Jan has been a part of Desert Springs for many years and truly lives a life of service. Jan is a mom of three boys and has eight grandchildren. Some of her grandchildren even attended VBS at Desert Springs years ago and that is where they gave their lives to the Lord. Jan takes us back to her early life growing up in Minnesota. Church was a part of her family life, but it wasn't until high school that she came to truly know the Lord. It was the practice of communion that really caused Jan to understand the Gospel. From a very young age, Jan felt a passion for serving. It's almost like it was in her DNA. You will really enjoy hearing the way she humbly describes all of the ways God led her to serve. If there was a need Jan was there! Eventually Jan grew tired of the cold and snow and made her way to Arizona in 2009. God led her to Desert Springs, and she unsurprisingly jumped right into serving here and has been ever since. If you name a ministry at Desert Springs Jan has probably been involved in some way. We so appreciate her heart and spirit that is so committed to serving the Lord. All in all, Jan encourages all of us to lean into how the Lord has gifted us and to use those talents for His glory. If you're not currently serving, take this as your sign to get to it! The Lord wants to use you!
1 Peter 4:10 - "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace."
