Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” - Deuteronomy 31:8 This empowering verse reminds us that no matter where we go – whether we're simply going about our daily lives, or traveling afar – the Lord will always be with us. What a comforting thought as we continue into the year!   ---   ## Staff Spotlight ![Shay Chalfant 2023 sq](https://blog.maranathatours.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shay%20Chalfant%202023%20sq.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=Shay%20Chalfant%202023%20sq.jpg)Happy Birthday, Shay!
