Let's Celebrate: Look What God Did in April!

What an incredible month! April was packed with so many major wins, breakthroughs, and moments of celebration that we are absolutely thrilled to share with you. God is pouring out His favor on Manna Church, and momentum is skyrocketing!

The Big Wins from April

An Epic Interest Party & Dinner Parties

We had 150 people pack the room for our April Interest Party, and the energy was electric! We had an incredible team of people who were so pumped to serve everyone who showed up. The best part? Over twenty people joined the Launch Team right on the spot, with just as many taking next steps to learn more.

Following the party, we hosted four smaller dinner parties. They were completely full of people excited to connect, laugh, and dive deeper into the vision of Manna Church.

Explosive Team Growth

Over the course of just one month, our Launch Team grew from 60 people to 88 people! These are individuals who are fully committed to community, serving, and inviting others into what God is doing.

We also gathered for our very first official Team Meeting. It was a beautiful night of celebrating God's faithfulness, having some fun, learning about what it means to truly love God, and breaking into prayer groups to lift up this next season.

Location: SECURED!

We have a massive praise report: We officially have a contract with West Creek Middle School!

God showed us immense favor throughout this entire process. This school was our absolute first choice for a meeting location, and Principal Whelpley has been incredible to work with. After Pastor Josh initially met with her to ask about using the space, she shared that she went home and prayed about it, and God told her she "had to make this work." What a gift to partner with a leader who isn't just allowing us to be there, but is genuinely just as excited for this partnership as we are!

How You Can Pray With Us

We know that big visions require big prayers. As we celebrate these breakthroughs, we invite you to keep pushing forward with us in prayer for these specific areas:

• For PEOPLE: We were originally praying for 120 Launch Team members, but seeing how fast God is moving, we have increased that goal. We are now praying in faith for 150 team members to lock arms with us!

• For PROVISION: Praise God, the $500k goal for Launch Day has been fully raised! We are now shifting our prayers and believing to raise the necessary coverage for our entire first year of church expenses, bringing our total fundraising goal nearing one million dollars.

Thank you for your prayers, your support, and your heart for this house. God is just getting started!
