Carla Chud, Executive Director at Northgate Alaska Church
“I have worked alongside Marla for well over ten years and have often commented that ‘she carries more hope than anyone I know’. Time and time again, I have seen her have outrageous hope for impossible situations; and then as she invites Jesus and ministers healing, those very situations start to turn around. Marriages get healed, families get restored, troubled minds get made new. Marla carries such a healing grace and an ability to connect people to the truth in God that sets them free from places of past wounding and pain, that the transformations that occur are nothing short of miraculous. I constantly refer people to Marla and fully and completely recommend her healing ministry!”

Bill Pagaran, President of Carry the Cure, Inc.
“I have known Marla for over twenty years. During that time we have co-led mission trips, planned ministry events, counseled others, played on worship teams and problem-solved community events together. She has demonstrated a level of professionalism, excellence, and integrity that is rarely seen. She always gives her best, works incredibly well with others, and brings out the best in people. Her compassion for others and her love for God is contagious.

Marla has served on our Carry the Cure governing board for five years. She is a highly valued and much appreciated member who goes above and beyond expectations with enthusiasm and integrity. She is the first person I call when planning our suicide-prevention outreach teams.

Marla is able to win the trust of others and make friends quicker than anyone I know. Others readily open up to her and confide in her. She is insightful and knows how to comfort, counsel, inspire, and encourage those who come to her with godly wisdom and grace. I give her my highest recommendation as a counselor, businesswoman, minister, and friend.”

Dennis Hotchkiss, Senior Pastor at Northgate Alaska Church
“If you are wanting to experience inner healing, relationship healing, or spiritual breakthrough in your life, I highly recommend Marla. I have worked with, and beside, Marla for over 20 years. I have observed so many hurting and defeated people enter her office end up leaving with hope and a smile on their faces. She is compassionate, competent, and empowered by GOD to set people free. She also has a gift for reconciling family units and counseling couples. I can confidently say Marla Rowland is one of the very best people-helpers in Alaska.”

Peter & Rebekah Neuberger, Founders of Kashabba Tribe Ministries
“We have had the privilege of knowing Marla for more than a decade now. We have seen firsthand her genuine love for people, both in Alaska and in the nations. Marla has a unique ability to disarm any defenses one might have to get right to the heart of the matter. This is why there is so much healing, freedom, and breakthrough when people receive ministry from her. Marla is one of the rare few who simply follow Holy Spirit wherever He leads, and when combined with the discernment, wisdom, and love that she carries, strongholds fall and prisoners are set free. Marla is the real deal. There is no one else we would recommend first for counseling and inner healing than Marla. We wholeheartedly endorse and support Marla Rowland and Renewed Hope!”
