Cooking up a storm with Soul Kitchen

Sunday 3rd April 2011 was a special day for us as we got to work together with the wonderful team from Soul Kitchen, Australia. This multi-talented couple was such a blessing to us at New Manna Ministries during the week that they were here, as we could draw from their years of experience.

The highlight of the week was our trip to the jungle together. Cooking for the villagers was done at 3 am at the humble kitchen of New Manna. We left Penang at 6 am and only got back at 7 pm. It was an exciting day for the villagers as this wonderful couple not only left their comfort zones, but blended in so well, that we didn't see any of the usual shyness and awkward glances when visitors appear.

New Manna Ministries is honoured to have been giving this privilege to learn hands-on from these experts. If you and your organisation has a desire to reach the community around you, but are not sure how best to do it, then you could use what Soul Kitchen has to offer. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your future.

M.A.D in Balik Pulau...

M.A.D (Making A Difference) was the theme for the recently ended (January 14-16, 2011) annual camp of the CUS (Catholic Undergraduates Society) of the USM.

New Manna Ministries was so blessed to have been able to be a part of this, and see the Lord working mightily among the young people who took time off from their busy schedules to seek the Lord on how they could make a difference. We may have had a plan of how the programme should be, but the Lord had His own plans as He knows the needs of His children best.

Saturday night was a night we will remember for a long time, with everyone having had an experience with Jesus - some saw visions, some heard angels and harps being played (we had no musical instruments at all), and many more experiences that only the Lord can provide. There were even testimonies of physical & emotional healings.

We are reminded of the first disciples who were able to respond to their call when Jesus said "Come follow me". The only reason they could respond was because they had met Jesus. In the same way, these young people had an encounter with Jesus - a real, life-changing experience. It is our prayer at New Manna Ministries that with His grace upon them, these students will now have the courage to respond to their call to Make A Difference in their respective areas.

The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field". (Luke 10:2)
