why my church?

WHEN CHURCHES MOVE, THE WORLD CHANGES & JESUS IS GLORIFIED

Jon Haley, lead pastor of Hallmark Church & MANNA Board Member

MANNA Worldwide partners with local pastors and churches in some of the most under-resourced communities on earth. Together, we are rescuing children from both physical and spiritual poverty.

But we cannot do it alone.

Every breakthrough we have seen has come through churches that said yes. Churches that gave, sent, prayed, and showed up. Your congregation has something to offer that no organization can replicate: people who are willing to go and hearts that are ready to give.

 
 

WHY PARTNER WITH MANNA?

Not Every Mission Partner Is Built the Same

Here is what makes MANNA different.

We Support Local Leaders. Every project starts with pastors and national leaders who already live in, know, and love their communities. We come alongside them with resources and support so the work is always led by the right people.

The Local Church Is Always at the Center. We are not building around the local church. We are building through it. Every project is rooted in and connected to what God is already doing in that community.

We Care About the Whole Child. A child who is fed but has no hope is still in poverty. MANNA holds physical and spiritual need together because genuine love for a child does not get to choose between the two.

We Are In It for the Long Haul. Twenty-five years of experience means we do not show up, start something, and leave. We build lasting relationships with local partners and stay committed to communities through the slow, meaningful work of real change.

Seven Program Areas, One Unified Mission. Poverty is never just one problem, so MANNA does not offer just one solution. We operate across 7 key program areas so your church's partnership can meet children and families wherever they are most vulnerable: clean water, education, nutrition, job skills training, orphan care, retreats, and medical care.

 

how to partner

3 ways to get involved

At MANNA, we value connection & a partnership that is truly mutually beneficial, helping boost church involvement + spiritual formation for your church, and furthering the MANNA mission. Both help further the work God is doing - so let’s do it!

  1. Financial Partnership: Your church's regular giving funds the frontline work that keeps nutrition centers open, schools running, and medical care available for families who have nowhere else to turn. Every dollar goes further because we work through local leaders who already know and love their communities.

  2. Project Sponsorship: Adopt a specific project as a church and give your congregation a tangible, ongoing connection to the work. From nutrition centers to clean water wells, sponsoring a project gives your people something to pray over, give to, and celebrate together.

  3. Mission Trips: Send your people. MANNA coordinates meaningful, well-structured trips that connect your team directly with local leaders and the communities they serve. Your group will come home changed, and so will the people they meet.
