Makanalani Paresa Marts

Makanalani was born in Maui, Hawaii, but was adopted as a young child and grew up in New York. Her mother’s health challenges, including diabetes, a heart transplant, and multiple amputations, gave her a deep compassion for those living with disabilities. She moved back to Maui in 2019, and after her mother’s passing, rediscovered her faith and calling in Christ. Before joining the Global CHE Network, she served as a Bible and preschool teacher and worked with a local ministry serving the foster care community on Maui, including children affected by both trauma and disability. God has since called her to focus on global missions, where she now supports Jenna and Guido through GCN’s Disability Advocate Ministry, serving alongside them to equip and mobilize the church and CHE communities to create spaces of belonging and inclusion for persons living with disabilities.

Tom and Heidi are people who follow Isaiah’s example, “Here am I, Lord, send me!” Tom and Heidi made lifestyle changes in order to serve the Lord in missions. They both serve in their respective medical professions, Tom as a Christian Psychologist and Heidi as a Medical Doctor, but have set aside time to serve the Lord when the opportunity arises.
