About MWM

For decades MarvelousWorks Ministries (MWM) has been a repository for the innovative works of creative Christians. This ministry has held the inspired creations of writers, songwriters, playwrights, authors and poets. The season of holding is coming to an end. It is much like the barns that held grain for times of famine. It is now time for these marvelous masterpieces to be released, to feed those in need of hearing from God in a variety of different ways.

In this new season, MWM will become an incubator and launching pad for creative products of Christian writers and artists. The intention is not to hold the works, but to counsel, nurture, encourage and propel the gifted to continue to use their gift, talents and anointing to promote the Kingdom of God.

Our Mission

Use our gifts, talents and the power of prayer to develop creative outreach, educational and philanthropic materials, programs and activities to challenge and motivate individuals to reach their full potential in Christ.

Our Vision

Become a repository for Christian authors and communicators who are willing to tap into the marvelous gifts God has given us to go where ever needed to benefit of the Kingdom of God and make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Utilize various outreach channels to reach with the message of the Gospel while inspiring the least, lost and less than to do more than they ever thought possible.

About the Founder

Rev. Marvin R. Wamble is a product of a mixed household. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, his mother was Pentecostal while his father was United Methodist. Rev. Wamble attended both churches. He was United Methodist during football season because the services were only an hour, giving him plenty of time to watch his beloved Oakland Raiders. The rest of the year absorbed the high energy and soaring praise of Ephesians Church of God In Christ with his mother.

Growing up in the two denominations gave Wamble a strong foundation in the Lord. He accepted Christ while in high school as a member of Campus Crusade for Christ but spent the next quarter century running and hiding from his calling. He finally stopped running, answering his call to the ministry 20 years ago. His preaching and teaching have been influenced by the many Pentecostal ministers experienced during his formative years and the six years he spent at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, TX, under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Dr. Tony Evans.

Wamble has been a published author since the late 1970s. While in college, he won his first award as the top collegiate feature writer in California for his feature story on Track and Field Coach Jim Santos. In the early 1980s, Wamble had several fictional short stories published in Players Magazine. He worked as a daily newspaper journalist from 1981 to 1992, earning an award from the Dallas Chapter of the National Association of Black Journalist for his work as a sports columnist. He later became a nationally published sports columnist for the National Newspaper Publishers Association. Wamble was also served as a public relations executive for several Fortune 500 companies including AT&T.

In 2005, he wrote his first book, From Tee to Green: Seeing God in the Middle of the Fairway, which earned an Outstanding Leaders in Golf Award from the African American Golfers Digest.

Rev. Wamble, a graduate of Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC, is entering his 12^th year of pastoral ministry. He is the proud father of three – Alicia, Julian and Jenise, and grandfather of two. He has been happily married to his partner in ministry, the former Anita Patterson for 30 years. They met decades ago at Ephesians Church when she was 4-years old.

Wamble’s first novel, Boxed & Broken: The Perilous Journey from Contentment to Divine Destiny, was published in May of 2018. He is currently working on several more books and creative in the products.
