Manna Ministries The olde paths Trustees report. Year ending 31st March 2023 We have had a extremely productive season with the ministry. We were able to bring to completion a project that we have worked on for a number of years. It's a 160 page book, that is A4 in size. The book is an overview of the history of Northern Ireland. There was 25,000 copies printed and destributed not only throughout the province but to many other parts of the world. This book, like all the materal that we produce was written from a strong evengelical view point. There was such a demand for the book that the overwhelming majority had been destributed within three months of it being printed. Due to demand the ministry also produced and destributed a further 8,500 CDS and DVDS. These dics contained messages relating to events in church history. Along with these the ministry also produced and destributed a further 14,500 leaflets, again covering historic events. As for our Radio broadcasts. While we have been broadcasting our messages on the Radio for many years now. From the Covid pandemic and the lockdowns that followed, we have seen a sharp increase of listeners to our programes. This has only continued to increase with us now broadcasting four programes a week. Many of our listeners are older folk who live alone and rely on the radio not only for news but also for company. We have seen in the last couple of years a up take in requests and some very encouraging comments from our listeners. Despite the challenging circumstances we still enjoy increasing numbers of people f rom all over the world visiting our website for comfort and inspiration in these uncertain times. We have seen more people visiting our website in the last eighteen monhts than in the three years previous.
OUR MINISTRY ABROAD For over f ifteen years now Manna Ministries have been involved in outreach in the Philippines. This work has grown substantially with more and more churches over there seeking our help and assistance. The last eighteen months have seen us supplying, 20,000 gospels of John, and 350 Bibles in their own language, for distribution. We have also supplied a bus to a local church to assist in the distribution of our literature. Along with this we have sent a half a ton of clothes and food for those in need. The clothes and food was collected f rom local people here in Northern Ireland and shipped. We have also purchased rice locally in the Philippines for this purpose. It is our privilege and pleasure to be able to continue to help those in need both here and abroad. 21st May 2023
