Ministry Mission
MVM was founded in 2009 to teach and counsel women and/or groups to seek the will of God for truth, wisdom and guidance when confronted with the crossroads of life.
How MVM Began
Magnificent Visions Ministries was birthed during numerous women's Bible study sessions at Arapaho Road Baptist Church in 2009. One week the facilitator asked for volunteers to facilitate the class while she was on vacation. A burning sensation went through Marilyn's entire body. She knew it was the Holy Spirit telling her to volunteer, but she did not. The next week one of the ladies walked up to her and asked her if she would volunteer to facilitate and she said she would pray about it. Marilyn knew there was no need to pray because the Lord had already told her to volunteer, but fear was holding her back. But the Lord had another plan. That young lady went straight to the facilitator and said, “Marilyn is going to volunteer” and then the facilitator announced to the class “Marilyn is going to volunteer to facilitate while I’m on vacation.” Marilyn was overwhelmed with joy and trembling with fear but somehow she managed to squeak out, “OK.” She left Bible study and drove to work crying and praising God for giving her an opportunity to teach His Word. She was going to be a facilitator for Anointed, Transformed and Redeemed –A Study of David by Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore and Kay Arthur, three of the most God-fearing teaching ministry leaders she had ever heard in her life. Little did she know for the next three years she would have an opportunity to co-facilitate Vertically Inclined – Climbing Higher with God by Mary Kassian, Me, Myself and Lies – A Thought Closet Make-over by Jennifer Rothschild, and A Woman’s Heart – God's Dwelling Place (A study of the Tabernacle) by Beth Moore. After completing the study of the Tabernacle, the Lord blessed her with an opportunity to build a replica of the Tabernacle for the class to have a hands-on experience at the end of the study.
