“Mareena, there are so many great things that I could say about you because you are such a wonderful person. Lots of people say God is the center of their lives but I know that He is the center of yours. When I’m in need of advice I come to you because I know that it will be coming from a Godly place. You’ve pushed me to better myself and look to God and have faith that He will see me through.
There were so many times that I felt like giving up on some things in life and you encouraged me to keep trusting God. You’ve encouraged me so much throughout the years and I appreciate you so much. You link everything to the Word of God and I love that. Your knowledge of the Word is extraordinary and you’re such a strong prayer warrior!
I treasure our friendship and sisterhood and I’m excited to see the direction that God takes you”.

“I have had the privilege of knowing Mareena Mathai now for over 20 years. Mareena applied her giftings in the Lord faithfully in the church in which I was an Elder for the entire tenure of my involvement there (which was over 17 years).
Mareena conducted many classes at our church- which was an extension of the International College of Ministry. She has worked extensively with new believers and especially young and recovering women… to see the image of Christ made evident in their lives. I have been privileged to sit under Mareena’s teaching ministry myself in the categories of deliverance and the prophetic as well as inner healing. She is a thorough scholar while also aiming to obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I know of no one else who is as intentional about laying hold of and walking out their gifting in God as she is.
She is very committed to intercessory prayer and has always made it her task to lead by serving. Mareena is very serious and sincere person where it comes to completing her race in Christ and winning a victor’s crown, yet she has not done this at the expense of her large family. Rather, Mareena has been careful to carry through with the heroic task of mothering and nurturing a large family in this modern age.
Would that more of God’s servants in this day and age would have the tenacity and commitment Mareena has consistently shown throughout the years I have known her without giving up or lagging in her endeavors to serve our Lord.”

“For as long as I can remember growing up, I was raised to believe in God. I would go to church with my family, but I wasn’t really digesting the word or paid too much thought in my relationship with God. At an early age, I interpreted God as being this ruler of all things and I feared him greatly. It wasn’t until I was about twelve years old, that I surrendered my heart to God, making him my personal Lord and Savior. That feeling when I confessed Jesus as my personal Lord and savior was such an incredible feeling. As years went by, I would try to read my bible, but it was hard comprehending the word. I would feel God’s presence and prayed to understand the word. That is when I met Mareena.
Mareena has been my mentor for many years. I believe God put Mareena in my life for many reasons. She helped me understand the word of God and how to put the word of God to work in my life. Mareena is a true intercessor and woman of God! I am very grateful for the time and effort she was willing to spend with me to change my thought process and to help grow my relationship with God deeper than ever before. I now have the knowledge of knowing who I am in Christ and I see him more than just the ruler of all things, he is a loving, compassionate, merciful God!! Mareena also taught me the godly way to forgive and let go of past hurts so I am no longer in bondage. My past no longer holds me back from my blessings from God! I thank God for you Mareena for all the time you have given to intercede and mentor me throughout the years. You are the truest women of God who is very compassionate to do God’s work and his calling. I still have some ways to go, but Mareena has given me the tools and knowledge to go further into my relationship and calling God has in my life!! God bless you always.”

“When I think of Mareena I think of a PETITE POWERHOUSE for God. In her, I see a hunger for the truth, a desire for all that God wants to accomplish to be done through her, a drive for excellence in all spiritual matters, a steadfastness to the truth, the tenacity of a bulldog.
I see a dynamo in prayer, powerful prayer, prophetic prayer, and authority in the Spirit beyond the norm. I sense that she wants to walk in all that God has for her and presses into all spiritual truths.
She is a POWERFUL AND GIFTED SPEAKER. She is able to lay out a concept of truth in a very clear manner so that all may understand. She PREACHES WITH AUTHORITY. The sermons I have heard her give have left me with great truths to ponder and have made positive impressions on my life.
Mareena is prophetic and accomplishes much with the word she speaks. She speaks with much authority, always trying to stay true to the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit within her as she speaks.
Mareena is regal, like Queen Esther. She carries an air of royalty and authority.”
– Suzie B., Prophetic Intercessor
“Mareena is a passionate woman, determined to uphold the journey of life with relentless determination, growth and spiritual connection. She has dedicated herself to this mission and this has been apparent since I met her so long ago. She has a desire to be the tool, used to save others, and one just knows this about her. The dust shall not settle, nor shall the darkness take over, when around Mareena.”
