More about Marisa
Getting to Know Her
the coffee on the porch version
Marisa wakes up every morning excited to sit and talk with Jesus, while sipping on a hot cup of coffee. She cannot imagine starting her day without Him, as her time with Him helps her establish a rejoiceful mood and a mindset that is full of hope, peace, and love that keeps her feeling spiritually charged in faith as she goes throughout her day.
Marisa's top five coffee flavors include vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, hazelnut, and peppermint mocha but only during the holidays. Her go to coffee order is a large decaf latte with oat milk and two shots of sugar free vanilla.
Marisa's days are usually jammed packed with a 3-4 mile morning walk, school studies, writing, Bible studies with her husband Joe, and an evening workout.
Marisa enjoys cooking and baking for large groups but dreads coming up with dinner ideas for just her and Joe each evening. She is always on the search for new ideas and recipes.
If Marisa is not curled up in her favorite chair with her nose in a book, you can often find her outside enjoying nature. She enjoys trail walking, kayaking on the lake, and sitting by a bonfire as she and Joe search the night sky for shooting stars.
Marisa has a passion for learning and hopes that she never gets tired of discovering something new each day.
Marisa describes herself as far from perfect and will agree that on most days she is running behind or forgetting something, but she keeps her calm, laughs at herself often and just takes everything in stride...one cup at a time.

Second Chance Global, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that has a vision to maximize the development of each person to impact the world for Jesus. To do so, our mission is to end generational poverty through empowerment. We know that if people are empowered, they can impact the world around them!

Our approach for every family or community we serve includes breaking the cycles of poverty they may face- spiritual, physical, emotional, psychological, or social. We walk with them to create sustainable change so that this relief can last for generations to come. And because our heart is to truly empower others, we then are able to distance ourselves so they are not dependent on foreign aid and can expand these proven methods
