Your church was made for this.
Children around the world are waiting for someone to show up. Partner with MANNA Worldwide and bring your congregation into a mission that changes lives on every continent.
When churches move, the world changes.
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 through nutrition centers, schools, medical care, clean water, and the gospel.
Every breakthrough we have seen came through churches that said yes. Churches that gave, sent, prayed, and showed up. Your congregation has something no organization can replicate: people who are willing to go and hearts that are ready to give.
There are several ways your church can step into this story, and we would love to help you find the one that fits best.
Not Every Mission Partner Is Built the Same
Here is what makes MANNA different.
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 Resource On-The-Ground Leaders
Projects start with national pastors and missionaries who know, love, and are called to care for the communities they live in. We come alongside them with resources and support so the work is always led by the right people. We are not building around the local church. We are building through it.
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 and stay committed to serving communities.
Seven Program Areas, One Unified Mission
Poverty is never just one problem, so we operate across 7 key program areas to meet children and families wherever they are most vulnerable.
It is an honor to partner with MANNA Worldwide as they minister alongside local pastors and churches to help them achieve their vision and goals for the people they know and love so deeply. MANNA Worldwide is helping churches, pastors, and believers bring the light and hope of the gospel to people who desperately need it.
A wide range of capabilities, wherever the need is greatest.
Different communities need different care. Your church's partnership makes each of these possible through the local church.
Nutrition Centers
Reliable, healthy meals and a place where children are known by name every day.
Schools & Education
Access to learning that opens new opportunities and helps break generational cycles.
Medical Care
Essential treatment in communities where healthcare options are very limited.
Clean Water
Wells and water systems that reduce disease and bring healthier days to whole communities.
Orphan Care & Family Homes
Safe, nurturing homes where vulnerable children find stability, love, and belonging.
Youth Camps & Retreats
Space for the next generation to step away from the noise and grow in faith and character.
Job Skills Training
Practical skills that help families build stability and hope for the future.
Sharing the Gospel
The heart of all seven. Every program is a doorway for children and families to encounter Jesus.
MANNA Nutrition Centers are not just feeding children, they are fueling local church ministry. They have become vital tools for outreach, discipleship, and community transformation.
What a Strategic Partnership Can Look Like
One of the great things about MANNA is our versatility. We lean into connection & community when other organizations can feel more transactional. Our partnerships are mutually beneficial: helping boost church involvement + spiritual formation for your church, and furthering the MANNA mission rescuing children from the grip of poverty.
Partnerships can and will look different based on what suits your congregation best.
What can MANNA be for your church? Here's a look at the possibilities:
-
Sponsoring specific projects & programs or giving to support MANNA
-
Service mission trips
-
MANNA Sundays: where a director from MANNA speaks at your church and facilitates a fundraiser to activate your people
-
Child sponsorship
-
Missions consultants that can help establish an effective missions department
Not sure which fits? That is a great reason to talk.
This is what it looks like when a church goes.
Your team meets the local leaders, serves alongside them, and comes home carrying the story.

Will my congregation tithe less if they give to MANNA?
It is one of the first questions pastors ask us, and it deserves a straight answer. What the research keeps showing is that generosity grows generosity.
Those who give to mission-driven initiatives are 72% more likely to increase their church giving over time.
Barna GroupWhen churches encourage generosity through partnerships with organizations like MANNA Worldwide, they experience stronger community engagement.
