MEDICAL OFFICER

Dr. Merlyn Sunny Manattu graduated with honors from the Illinois Institute of Technology, where she earned her bachelors degree in biology. She received her medical degree at Chicago Medical School and was inducted to the Arnold P. Gold Humanism in Medicine Honor Society. Having a desire to care for everyone who approached her, Dr. Manattu pursued the path of Family Medicine. She completed residency training at Drexel University College of Medicine/Hahnemann University Hospital with the last year of training at Chestnut Hill Hospital.

Dr. Manattu has a love for serving the most vulnerable of society, which led her to pursue fellowship training in Geriatric Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. During her training, she served as a leader in patient safety, clinical operations, refugee medicine, bridging the gap of social isolation among homebound elderly, and providing medical care at homeless shelters throughout Philadelphia.

Dr. Manattu is board certified in Family Medicine and Geriatric Medicine. Her faith has a great part in her calling as a physician and she sees every interaction with someone in need as an encounter with Christ. She loves reading, exploring nature, and spending time with her husband, Dennis, and their miracle baby, Gianna.

The Lord has called me to listen and speak to His people beginning in 2017 when He began speaking to me concerning finance and cryptocurrencies and ways to prepare His remnant people physically and spiritually for the future.

AMBASSADOR & CORE TEAM

Todd and Claudia Gibson have been married for nearly two decades. They met while pursuing their PhD in Chemical Engineering at UW Madison. After graduation, Todd started his career as a scientist. Claudia earned her master’s degree and pursued a career in Healthcare IT. However, after a radical encounter with Jesus, Claudia’s life was completely transformed. She determined to know nothing but Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2) and to seek the kingdom of God first and foremost.

This transformation touched all aspects of their family. It has led Todd and Claudia to homeschool their three children and travel on mission to the Dominican Republic. Claudia was led to attend the Encounter School of Ministry, which led to greater boldness in evangelizing and helping others encounter both physical and emotional freedom.

Todd and Claudia are committed to surrender their lives for the One who gave His for them. They are thrilled to partner up with Robby and Jenny in supporting this endeavor. The heart of Jesus yearns for His lost sheep, and we strongly believe that this project will bring Christ to many people that would never step foot in a physical church building. Come Holy Spirit and renew the face of the earth!
