Manna Ministries
As I sit in my office this morning, I am going through the tedious
process of putting together paperwork for a last-minute trip to Malawi. We have been working over the last several
months to get Manna Ministries registered with the Malawian government. I will be going in February for a week with
another ministry partner in order to help take care of some of the details
related to this. This ministry has grown
significantly over the last five years and needs to have a structure in place
to better support what we do. Please
pray for me as I go with Miller and Ginger Cunningham of SOZO ministries on
this important trip.
Our relationship with Manna Ministries began when Rose
Malekano came to Bartlesville with her husband Charles as part of a mission’s
conference in our association. Rose
spoke at a women’s brunch about the orphans and widows they were feeding. At that time, they were feeding a small
handful of orphans and widows once every 3 days. We now have three feeding centers feeding
around 150 orphans and widows every day.
We are providing religious education as well as life skill
training.
I want to encourage everyone to find a way to participate
with Manna Ministries. Pray for me on
this trip in February as well as for the group of us going this summer. Pray about how your family can help
financially. We need more monthly
support over the next two or three years as we work to help the centers become
self-sufficient. It is our goal to have
these three centers supporting themselves with a model that can be multiplied
to other areas of Malawi. Also, five
from Eastern Heights have committed to go to Malawi in June. We need people to give to help financially
for those sacrificing to go. Not
everyone can go, but everyone can find a way to participate in this great
mission.
If you would like to give to one of these needs please write
on the envelope or on the info line on your check whether your gift is for “Manna
Ministries” or “Malawi Mission Trip.”
Thank you for your help in taking the name of Jesus to the people of
Malawi.
