This year, we share missions and outreach wins and stories of how people said yes to God’s command of “Go”. We also highlight next year’s strategies and goals, and how you can be a part of real Kingdom impact. This event is not just a gathering, but an invitation to embody our shared commitment to PRAY, GIVE, and GO.
Thursday, November 20th, we kick off with a powerful evening service that sets the tone for our time together.
Friday, November 21st, is our Night We Can’t Record. It is a night you won’t want to miss! These are stories that you will not hear shared online or in person at any point throughout the rest of the year.
On Sunday, November 23rd, we conclude our celebration with our morning services across all sites and our Finale Service at Cliffdale. We look forward to seeing you there!
At Manna, one of our values is that we Love the World.
We are called to go out and take the Good News to all people across the Earth, and invite them into life-giving fellowship with Jesus Christ.
We do this through our Dream Center, through Local Outreach, through our Short Term Missions, and through our Ministry Partners.
It is through this lens that we participate in our annual Reach Out Celebration.
We take a look at how God is using Manna Church to advance the Kingdom of God here in Fayetteville, across the Military Highway, and to the ends of the Earth.
Join us this weekend as we hear exciting first-hand stories and testimonies of how God is moving across the globe.
Jump in as we discover how together we can Pray, Give, and Go.
Blessings,
Pastor Chris Fletcher

CharisMed (Charis Associates Medical Ministries) is a ministry of Charis Associates that advances the Gospel in foreign countries in partnership with local churches. CharisMed mobilizes foreign medical personnel who provide free medical care to patients who are then evangelized by church members. Since 2006 ,we have done 38 series of clinics over 322 days and have seen 44,564 patients, of whom 16,995 have made decisions for Jesus. We have worked in six nations, including Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, the Philippines, and Kenya. Most of our clinics were held in Thailand, but we now have a worldwide vision for ministry. CharisMed has helped plant churches and helped small churches grow larger. We are also a mobilizing ministry because we show medical personnel how they can use their skills to help advance the Kingdom of God in foreign countries. We work with foreign missionary organizations, and prior teams have included medical personnel from the USA, Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Malaysia, Ukraine, Argentina, and other nations. During the coming year, we are planning trips to Thailand, the Philippines, Albania, and Kenya. We are also now working with Manna members who wish to establish a similar ministry focusing on reaching Latin America.
Our vision is to serve God by bringing the Gospel through the art of Medicine. We strive to serve those with limited or no access to medical services. We will partner with the local church to bring souls to Christ through the conduct of medical clinics, while supporting the establishment and growth of our partner churches. Our goal is to reach underserved communities around the world, with the focus in Central & South America.

The Manna Dream Center exists to “reach people with the love of Christ by meeting both their physical and spiritual needs.” Monies generated from the community store will help to address the challenges of hunger, homelessness, and various needs in our community. The Manna Dream Center first opened its doors in 2014 with the goal of meeting various practical needs in our community. Over the years it has changed but our goal of showing God’s love by meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of people has not changed. Today the Manna Dream Center consists of 4 locations; 336 Ray Ave., our men’s shelter at 913 Person Street, our warehouse at 5135 Cliffdale Rd and now the Manna Community Store at 3736 Ray Ave.

Return to Zion was established in 2001 by the inspiration from God’s prophetic Word to bring the Jewish people back to Israel and to proclaim the name of Yeshua among the people of Israel. Because of that, the Return to Zion congregation has a vision and the desire to promote Aliyah (Jewish immigration to Israel) and to be a part of the physical and spiritual restoration of Israel. Another vision of Return to Zion is to “Restore faith in Yeshua in Israel in our days.” We do this through humanitarian and educational outreaches such as Oasis Media (a Russian language media ministry), Rainbow of Sounds Music School, a food distribution program, Haifa Theological Institute, and a ministry to Holocaust survivors.

AIM is working to rescue, heal, and empower survivors of trafficking to be free. Because this work doesn’t stop at the rescue. For these girls to truly heal and grow, they need to feel the unconditional, relentless love of Christ. When this love is shown, survivors understand their true worth and value, and then they are able to become abolitionists themselves, raising their voices and fighting for the freedom of other girls. In addition to this, our protection programs are targeting the root of the issue by addressing the demand for purchased sex and protecting the vulnerable in the community. AIM’s Mission is to free hearts, lives, and communities from the evil of sex trafficking in Jesus’ name and in Jesus’ way. The agape love of Jesus Christ is expressed through His followers (the Church), unlocking hearts one life at a time. Community by community, generation after generation, joining God’s global movement to rescue, heal, and transform those impacted by sex trafficking.

Families living in poverty deserve access to clean drinking water. Motivated by the compassion of Christ, Filter of Hope brings clean water to people who are thirsty. By manufacturing and distributing simple, life-saving water filters, we provide families living in poverty easy access to clean, safe drinking water—250 gallons a day for 10 years. The entire water filter kit fits inside a quart-sized bag and costs just $40 to purchase. For a $50 donation, we’ll deliver a water filter to a family in need and install it on your behalf. For most families, receiving our water filter means they have clean water in their homes for the first time ever. In 2012, we distributed the first Filter of Hope water filters in the Dominican Republic. Since then, we’ve expanded to 11 additional countries in the Caribbean and Central America, and our partner organizations have taken our water filters to more than 70 countries worldwide.

This Manna Medical Missions Team of 16 consisted of representatives from Blessings Medical Missions, Methodist University, and Manna Church Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. Partnered with local churches and ministries, they hosted four evangelical clinics across three towns near Cusco, treating 441 patients, with 280 people making decisions to follow Jesus! Working at 11,000 ft. elevation came with challenges, but God’s strength and your prayers carried the team through each day with joy and endurance.
This trip had a special joint-team of 25 people from Manna Killeen, Fort Leonardwood, and Fayetteville! They traveled to Colombia to serve alongside the local church in Barranquilla. Throughout their time there, the team made 305 Gospel Touches, distributed water filters to many families, and witnessed 189 people commit their lives to Christ!
The local church expressed immense gratitude, sharing that the team’s efforts had encouraged them to evangelize in a community where they had previously been hesitant. When we move, God moves!
The South Dakota mission team made a lasting impact by engaging in both physical projects and meaningful relationships. Our team worked on a variety of projects, from building a display case with timeless keepsakes for veterans, to cooking for a veterans’ dinner, organizing clothing at the Bear Cave, joining a spontaneous podcast, and more. Throughout the trip, we saw hearts touched and lives transformed by the Gospel. We were invited to worship with a local church and meet incredible people who faithfully serve their community day in and day out. Simple actions made a big difference, and because of your support, we were able to make a real impact, 498 Gospel Touches in total! Look at God’s work!
A joint team of 34 from Manna Fayetteville and Capital Area traveled to Panama in partnership with Filter of Hope and the local church, which was an incredible display of teamwork across the Military Highway. During their time there, the team distributed 121 water filters to households facing clean water insufficiency and shared the Gospel with 201 people. Here’s the incredible part: 150 people gave their lives to Christ!
In total, 968 lives were impacted because 34 individuals said “yes” to the call to GO. Each family not only received a filter providing clean water for their homes, but also the opportunity to impact their communities. God’s hand was evident throughout the trip, and the team was blessed to witness His transformative power firsthand. Thank you, Manna Church, for believing in missions. Through your praying, giving, and going, this trip was possible!
In June, a team of 28 from the Manna family, representing Fayetteville, Stafford, Newport News, and Killeen, traveled to Havana, Cuba, with Filter of Hope. Over the course of their trip, the team distributed 76 water filters and shared the Gospel with 106 people. Even more amazing, 45 people gave their lives to Christ!
We also saw God move in individual stories. One woman had believed in Jesus but had never accepted Him as Lord and Savior; this trip changed that. Another woman told us she had never heard the Gospel presented the way we shared it. Though she needed time to ponder what she had heard, she said, “When you come back to Cuba next year, I will be the one walking you from house to house to share the filter and the good news.” These moments created wonderful memories and lasting seeds of faith. What a blessing to be part of what God is doing around the world!
Our team of 13 people from Manna Church, Blessings Medical Missions, CHARIS & Associates, and Methodist College physical therapy students partnered with several local churches in the Dominican Republic to conduct five days of medical evangelical mission clinics in San Francisco and Santo Domingo. Over the course of the trip, the team distributed 2,400 Gospel Touches, provided free medical care, and most importantly, witnessed 691 salvations! Through this effort, both practical and spiritual needs were met—from treating physical conditions to sharing the hope of Jesus. We are deeply grateful for our partnerships with Blessings Medical Missions and CharisMed, who mobilized foreign medical personnel to provide care for those most in need. And to you, Manna Church family, thank you.
Our team of 12 to the Dominican Republic had an incredible experience, with 400 Gospel Touches and 47 Salvations, making a significant impact in the mountain city of Mozovi. One of the highlights was visiting a local school, where our team member Anna had the opportunity to engage with the students and do a group Gospel Presentation. It was inspiring to see how each team member shared the message in their own unique way and to witness the students’ heartfelt responses. This unique opportunity to speak openly in the school is something the team is deeply grateful for, and we pray that the local church continues to nurture the seeds planted during that trip!
A team of 11 from Manna Church traveled to Poland this summer to participate in PROEM Church’s 2025 Kontakt Week (think of our SERVE Days, but for a week and in Western Poland). Our team jumped into a variety of projects, from playing in a local soccer game and engaging residents at an adult disability home to painting houses, cleaning graveyards, and connecting with families. We also joined PROEM’s school for chapel and services while supporting their community projects in partnership with the local government. These efforts are part of PROEM’s broader vision for church planting, building trust and relationships in communities as they share God’s love.
Manna Church sent a team of 11 to serve alongside the Los Angeles Dream Center in ministering to some of the most vulnerable people in the city. We witnessed decades-old chains being broken on Skid Row and saw lives touched by the gospel. Over the course of the week, our team recorded 801 Gospel Touches, prayed with countless individuals, and built meaningful relationships with the long-term servants at the Dream Center.
This year’s projects included Foster Care Intervention, where the team built furniture and cleaned a home to help a family remain together, an emotional moment that even gave one of our team members the courage to pray out loud for the first time. They also served through food distribution and meal preparation, joining Dream Center discipleship residents to provide meals for 186 people. None of this would have been possible without God at the forefront!
Manna Church was able to send a team of 12 to Boone, NC, to support relief efforts following Helene. Partnering with Samaritan’s Purse, our team spent the week helping with debris removal, everything from cutting down trees to clearing piles of belongings from homes. This hard work opened the door for us to talk and pray with families, meeting both physical and spiritual needs. Thanks to your prayers and generous ROC giving, we were able to be the hands and feet of Jesus, planting seeds of light in the midst of difficult times.
Nazar Leshchuk’s journey from Równe, Ukraine, to Tomaszów, Poland, is a testament to resilience and hope. Before turning 18, his parents sent him out of his war-torn country in search of a safer future.
He arrived in Tomaszów in the fall of 2023 with only a friend by his side and no family. Nazar began living at the Proem Help Center and soon joined the first edition of our residency program, PROEM Life Academy. Since then, he has been actively involved with PROEM’s worship band, youth meetings, Ukrainian Kids Club, and Zako Camps.
“During my residency at PROEM, I have learned to take responsibility for my life,” Nazar says. “I’ve also realized what my strengths and weaknesses are, which helped me reevaluate many things about my life.”
Today, Nazar continues to serve as a second-year resident with PROEM.
One of our dedicated partners in Pakistan leads a team of 29 people serving through our overseas program. They regularly take filter distribution trips that last up to five days, and some even travel for as long as 40 days to reach families in remote areas.
Recently, a very special distribution took place. After months of careful planning, 800 sanitation and solid waste management workers were given the day off to receive filters and hear the Gospel. The filters were received like rock stars, the joy of clean water sparked celebration, and countless phone cameras captured the moment.
After meeting with each employee to distribute a filter and conduct a short survey, our Pakistan partner reported that around 25 employees had received Christ.
In the second quarter of 2025, AIM SWAT operations in Cambodia led to the rescue of 72 individuals, including 47 children.
Occurring across both rural and urban areas in Southeast Asia, each rescue creates ripple effects of lasting impact. Through collaboration with local law enforcement, community partners providing intelligence, relentless investigators gathering evidence, and legal counsel seeing cases through to prosecution, these operations ensure that exploitation stops in its tracks—and never begins again.
In just this past year, AIM has assisted or rescued 171 victims of human trafficking, helped close 10 locations where trafficking or exploitation was occurring, and had 82 baptisms across their community!
All of this is possible because of the generosity, prayers, and advocacy of people like you.
In one of the houses, a mother asked us to pray for her sick son. He was 18 years old and had lived with a severe neurological condition since birth. After we finished praying, I felt led to ask if there was any way to communicate with him. She explained that he responded by blinking, one blink for “yes,” two for “no.”
I began by asking if he could hear me. One blink. So I shared the Gospel, telling him how much Jesus loves him. I asked if he believed in eternal life. One blink. I continued, explaining that eternal separation from God is also real, and asked if he wanted that. Two blinks. Finally, I asked if he wanted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. One blink.
I prayed with him, and afterward, his mother, who had also received Jesus that same day, began praising God, rejoicing that Jesus had saved them both.
To God be the glory.
When we move, God moves.
Three years ago, Chaice had never been on a single Short-Term Mission Trip, ever.
During the 2022 ROC, however, he felt a calling from God to step out of his comfort zone and signed up for our trip to Guatemala in 2023.
He performed exceptionally well, and the team leader recommended him as a co-leader for the following year.
Chaice accepted the opportunity and co-led under Mike Krieg in Ecuador in 2024. The team served faithfully, and Chaice sensed God encouraging him to step into even more.
This year, Chaice led a Joint Venture 3 Team trip to Colombia (Ft. Leonard Wood, Killeen, and Fayetteville). Over the course of six days laboring alongside the local church, the team’s ministry resulted in 189 decisions for Christ, the most Salvations we have ever seen on a Manna Filter of Hope trip! They also witnessed many incredible testimonies and encounters (but you’ll have to wait until the ROC to hear those).
We are here to glorify God by equipping people to change their world and plant churches with the same world-changing vision.
In just three years, Chaice went from never having been on a Short-Term Mission Trip to leading our most fruitful Filter of Hope trip ever, all because he courageously stepped forward in faith when God said, “Go.”
In July 2026, Manna Church partnered with Blessings Medical Missions and Charis Associates to send out a team of 16 to the Dominican Republic for a five-day short-term mission trip, conducting medical clinics and sharing the Gospel. Pastor Hector Cordero was one of the 16 team members.
On the fourth clinic day, the team was assigned to La Ciénaga, a rough neighborhood known for its high crime rate and danger. People living outside the area have a common saying: “Enter if you want, and exit if you can.”
The team arrived early in the morning, and the atmosphere felt heavy and oppressive. The people seemed angry, restless, and on edge. We lifted our hands in prayer and proclaimed victory over the neighborhood.
By the end of the day, the team had served 1,200 people, and over 250 individuals came to the Lord. Pastor Leonida Muñoz, 84 years old, testified that in her 60 years there, no one from the government or abroad had ever served her community like this before. She wept, embraced us, and pleaded, “Will you please come again?”
Across five days of clinics in multiple cities, our team treated 2,429 patients and led 691 people to Christ!
“One day in Panama, one of the houses that really stuck out to me was the last house we went to. When the Gospel was shared, God used our words to affect this woman and her two kids, and they began to cry. After spending some time at their house, they ended up praying to accept Jesus. After we finished praying, we could see tears streaming down this mother’s face, and a smile of pure joy shone through her tears. It was a great reminder of why we went on this trip in the first place. The Gospel is so powerful and can change someone’s life forever in an instant.”
One day in Panama, Several families had gathered to receive their filters, and everyone was attentive during the demonstration. But when Thomas began sharing the Gospel, the atmosphere shifted.
One woman in particular had a very hard spirit. She glared and interrupted Thomas—at one point even shouting “No” and slamming the door. As this happened, our team and the local church members began silently praying.
Though she returned with the same hardened expression, Thomas pressed on, encouraged by Hector. As the others listened respectfully, Hector also began sharing with urgency. It felt like the longest Gospel presentation of the entire week, but persistence mattered.
In the end, the entire group, including that woman, prayed together. And I got to watch as her hardened expression transformed into a soft, warm smile.
With Jesus, NOTHING is impossible!
On our third distribution day in Havana, we visited an elderly woman whose daughter, a doctor, was also visiting. The mother was a Jehovah’s Witness, but her daughter shared that she didn’t hold the same beliefs. One of our team members, whose own mother had left that faith, was able to share Scripture that sparked deep reflection.
As we explained Salvation and what it means to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, the daughter leaned forward, eyes filled with tears, and asked, “Is it that simple?” In that moment, she realized that faith isn’t earned; it’s a gift, just like the water filter we brought.
After joyfully accepting Jesus, she told us she had seen our team the day before while visiting a patient who had also received a filter. She’d wanted to ask us to visit her mother’s home, but never got the chance. Yet God heard her unspoken request and sent us anyway, not just for her mother, but for her too. That day, we witnessed two Salvations and a beautiful reminder of how great God truly is.
On our first day in Havana, we met an elderly woman living in poor conditions and suffering from the effects of contaminated water. After receiving a water filter and hearing about Jesus, she said through our translator, “If this Jesus sent you here to help me and others, I want to know this Jesus.” She then prayed to receive Christ and expressed her gratitude to our team.
We spent an afternoon at the primary school near the church building, where the children eagerly invited us to play games of soccer, tag, and other activities. Even without words, bonds formed quickly. When Anna shared that Jesus was her best friend, many of the children responded with open hearts, choosing to make Him their best friend as well.
When Donald arrived in Fayetteville from California, he struggled to find steady work and housing. At our men’s shelter, he quickly became known for his hard work and positive spirit, often lending a hand with extra cleaning and maintenance.
With the support of Manna Dream Center staff, Donald secured a job, advanced in his role, and qualified for the “The Lodge” program, which provided him with stable, long-term housing. He remains connected with our team, sharing updates as he thrives in this new season. We are proud of him and pray for God’s continued blessing over his life.
When Daniel first arrived at the Manna Dream Center Men’s Shelter, he struggled with motivation and direction. Quiet and introverted, he struggled to set goals or find employment. With time, love, and patience, the Manna Dream Center team helped him see that God has a plan for his life, renewing his hope and purpose.
Through their care, Daniel gained the skills and support needed to secure employment and transition into long-term housing. Grateful for the team’s encouragement, he now moves forward with faith and determination for what God has next.
During Serve Month, 1,317 Serve Team members came together for 112 outreaches, resulting in 41,705 Gospel touches, 7 Salvations, and 193 baptisms—a powerful display of what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus, with no strings attached.
This year, Manna partnered with Hand of Hope, a Christian nonprofit that gives the preborn a chance at life and offers women life-affirming choices. In 2024, Hand of Hope saved 1,027 babies across its three locations. Here in Fayetteville, they conducted a record-breaking 400 ultrasounds this year, each one an opportunity to share Christ and encourage mothers to choose life. Through your giving, we are shining the light of Jesus into some of the darkest places in our city.
This past July, we hosted our very first Baptism in the Park event, and it was an incredible experience! One hundred ninety-three people stepped forward to publicly declare their faith and be baptized. This photo highlights one of those 193 moments. In it, Pastor Chris and his wife, Rachel, had the life-giving opportunity to baptize someone close to them and their family.
This year, we’re believing God for $700,000 to advance the Kingdom across Fayetteville, along the Military Highway, and to the ends of the Earth. Every dollar supports local multiplication through our Dream Center and outreaches, domestic multiplication through church plants and community partnerships, and international multiplication reaching nations with the Gospel. Together, we can impact lives locally and globally as we answer God’s call to GO. Join us in praying, giving, and going to make disciples of all nations.

You can give here to be a part of Manna Church’s mission to advance the Kingdom of God here in Fayetteville, across the Military Highway, and to the ends of the Earth.
Jump in as we Pray, Give, and Go.
I will share God’s love with others by contributing to ROC 2025: GO. These future gifts will be above and beyond my regular tithe.
