A couple of summers ago, we had the opportunity to take a small missions trip to New York City, with our kids in tow. During this missions trip, we were introduced to Manna of Life Ministries, located in the South Bronx. Manna of Life reaches out to the homeless and hungry and to those who just need a helping hand; they try to supply needs that, otherwise, these people might go without, such as food, clothing, hygiene products, etc.
I can only tell you so much about Manna of Life, since we only got to spend one day with them, but I can tell you that they are making a difference in this world. You can watch videos about their ministry, as well. They go wherever they need to go, in the South Bronx, to spread His love and His truth. They reach out and take the hands of those who just need someone to pray with them. They now have a soup kitchen, food pantry, a mobile food pantry, a life skills program, and an outreach program. If you live in New York City, I encourage you to contact them; get in touch with them, and see if you can volunteer with them. If you’re taking a trip to NYC, schedule a day to just go help out. We are hoping to go into NYC at Christmas, and I’m already looking into the possibility of serving somewhere for one of our days…..the blessing that God will lay on your heart and the things you will see, when volunteering in something like this, will change your heart forever, not to mention the impact it can have on your children.
