The Maramans
In July 2023, we received a call from the Lord to embark on a mission to Parys, South Africa. Our purpose is to collaborate with our dear friends and teammates at Overcomers, a charitable organization dedicated serving children and adolescents grappling with the challenges of extreme poverty through discipleship, education, and feeding programs. This collaboration involves assuming the primary pastoral responsibilities of the growing local congregation established through Overcomers' ministry along with evangelism and church planting initiatives. Our overarching objective is to cultivate a community of devoted disciples who, in turn, carry this transformative, Kingdom commision throughout Africa and the nations.
Our Family
We, Ned and Laci, have been blessed with six wonderful children! It’s our honor to steward them in their lives and help each of them develop as young followers of Christ. We are bringing them up to engage in their God-given purposes and giftings. Our kids are an integral part of our mission in South Africa, and will each be participating in the work of the ministry as the Lord graces them to do so. Most of all we want them to enjoy being kids and experience the goodness of God!
Ned and Laci
Ned and Laci were married April 2nd, 2013. Their marriage is a testimony of God’s faithfulness and restoration. His hand brought them together by causing their paths to cross as they were both following hard after Him. Not long after, they were married and set off on the adventure of building a marriage and family after God’s design. Ned and Laci founded Vision Church Fort Walton Beach November 3rd, 2015. After many years and children (six and counting), Ned and Laci are still loving God and each other every step of the way, and are excited for the next chapter in a beautiful life together.
