"I attended Maranatha in the early 80's. I became a Christian at the age of 21. Recently at my church where I have been attending since leaving Maranatha Campus Ministries (17 years ago) I ran into a former Maranatha "ite." Our conversation sparked curiosity as to what was out there on the Internet. I enjoyed these articles and could relate with what has been said on the abusive practices of MCM, as I had experienced them myself."
