Our Mission Partners: Manna Foundation

Over the course of two weeks, the Thai Mission Team will be learning more about faith-based ministries among victims of human trafficking, displaced persons, and those fleeing persecution in Myanmar (Burma); aiding and supporting existing ministries among those people; and sharing the Gospel and encouraging leaders who are ministering there.

While in Chiang Mai, the Mission Team will be meeting with Manna Foundation, which is dedicated to providing aid and hope to poor, homeless, abused and hungry children in Thailand, and to supporting and caring for orphaned children with AIDS through various fundraising and volunteer projects. Among the many programs and projects of the Manna Foundation is the Mae Ka Chan Orphanage, which began in 1998 as home for five 'hill tribe' children to stay and study the Bible. Word of Mae Ka Chan spread quickly in the villages, and many other families wanted to send their children (or grandchildren, nieces and nephews) to get an education and to learn about God. Some of the children were orphaned, or had parents that were incarcerated.

They now have about 90 children in their care, including some who have graduated and gone on to higher education. The ministry has also been blessed recently, and have built a new home on a beautiful piece of land. Children are educated in a Christian school, and are supported as they get higher education or vocational training, until they find a job or are ready to live on their own.

Any and all gifts to the Manna Foundation are cherished, and they stress that the foundation is committed to wise stewardship of your gifts. Manna Foundation is a publicly supported, non-profit corporation, registered in the USA, and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (501c3). Your contributions to the foundation are tax-deductible, and 100% of those gifts will go to make a difference in the life of a child.
