Loving the World through Outreach
2023 was an amazing year of outreach that made a huge impact in the lives of people in our community and our world. We thank God for His faithfulness and for yours. It is because of your extreme generosity of time, talents and treasure that we were able to reach out together and serve our island communities with:
119 outreach events
LA Dream Center mission trip
15 short term mission trips to Maui assisting with fire relief efforts
Over 1000 people participated
2,296.5 hours were served that touched our world with the amazing love of Jesus in practical ways
Mahalo for praying, giving, and serving so selflessly. Our team is extremely grateful for each of you.
We look forward to 2024 with renewed vision and passion for the lost. We start reaching out this Saturday with 3 opportunities: Feeding the homeless in Kapolei, AccesSurf at White Plains Beach and Beach Cleanup at Nimitz Beach.
Please pray for our 2024 outreaches and sign up today to reach out again this year with Manna Church and the Manna Dream Center HI.
Check out these photos from one of our recent outreaches when we got to share the love of Jesus in the Kapolei City Lights Parade!

This month in MannaKids
We love partnering with families as we work together to train our kids to change their world through loving God, loving each other, and loving the world!
This month, our nursery and preschool keiki are learning all about making right choices–and that the way to do that is to ASK GOD! You can follow along at home by watching the video (on our MannaKids page on the website!) and by reading the Bible Story together through the Bible Adventure App.
Our elementary keiki are learning all about MATURITY and owning our own spiritual growth. When you make Jesus the leader of your life, it’s like you become a baby all over again. But just like babies have to grow up, we need to grow up for God, and be mature.
Want to continue this theme at home? Check out the “Grow Up! “ devotion on the YouVersion Bible App.
Coming up in MannaYouth
