This week on Couples of Destiny, host Terry Honey sits down with Mark and Marieta Maingard—an extraordinary couple whose journey is marked by resilience, purpose, faith, and a passion for serving families in need.
With nearly 40 years in hospitality and food manufacturing, Mark’s career includes remarkable milestones—from serving as private chef to General Jannie Geldenhuys to catering Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday. But his greatest assignment came through a divine dream that redirected his life: use his God-given skills to feed hungry children and families.
Joined by his wife Marieta—his partner in prayer, ministry, and outreach—the Maingards share:
- Their powerful love story and blended family journey
- The dream that launched Outside the Bowl Africa
- How their ministry now feeds thousands of children daily
- The role faith, obedience, and patience played in their calling
- Their vision for the future, including 10 million meals and a celebration for 10,000 children
- How Kingdom Foods and nonprofit work operate together to sustain their mission
This is a heartfelt conversation on marriage, purpose, community impact, and what it truly means to say “yes” to God—even when the assignment seems impossible. If you desire inspiration, clarity of calling, or a testimony of God’s faithfulness, this episode will deeply encourage you.
