Our VP of marketing shares her journey in telling the story of Maranatha through print, TV, and more. What’s it like to capture the essence of people in need halfway around the world? What goes through the mind of a field producer as they’re curating a story for television? Julie shares her experience in navigating delicate topics and intentionally writing to help broaden her readers’ worldview, as well as some of the most impactful stories she’s worked on and how all of these experiences have shaped her as a person.
Julie’s storytelling extends beyond traditional communication mediums, to a large convention she plans each year called “Mission: Maranatha,” which attracts up to 2,000 attendees or more. She explains what goes on behind the scenes to pull off a successful and meaningful event of this size.
Julie also describes how she was touched on a recent trip to India at the Binjipali Adventist School, where the living conditions for students are horrid. She relates that knowing just how different things will be once Maranatha is finished on a project like this gives her a sense of anticipatory joy.
