Maranatha means <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">\u201cBehold The Lord Cometh,\u201d<\/span> therefore, the ministry prepares the body of Christ for that great day when the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout and says,<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> \u201cCome My People.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/h5><h5 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> This ministry was birth based upon Isaiah 61:1-4, that allows bound, captive, depressed, and heavy individuals to know the Lord and that HE has anointed them for such a time as this.<\/span><\/h5><h5 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Using the Samaritan Model, the ministry helps individuals that have been wounded, bruised, left and not nurtured by bringing them to the Maranatha Inn, in order that they can be delivered, healed and restored, then moved to their own ministries, that God has called them to. However, they must go find their 12 in order that others with similar situations might be loved and nurtured to full health: body, mind, soul and spirit. In 42 years Bishop Hershel, has never taken a salary from the ministry and we are here today to appreciate him for his labor of love, all for the Kingdom of God<\/span><\/h5><h5 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">In March 2007, Doctors gave Bishop Hershel, two weeks to live, but he stood on the word of God and said,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><i>\u201cGOD IS GOING TO RAISE ME UP AS A WITNESS.
