MAY NEWS - 2008

Thank you for your support and prayers. All agreed that Manna first Board Meeting went well. The covered-dish supper on the Monday evening April 7 helped local friends meet Board members. It was a great success. "He is faithful who calls you," the Scripture says.
Manna needs a 501 (C) 3 approval from the IRS. Please continue to pray for this. Until we have this, please make ALL checks payable to Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church, Box 277, North Myrtle Beach SC 29597, marked for Manna Publications. Every $ invested moves a Manna Representative closer to being a self-supporting publisher!
Millions of children live in refugee camps all over the world. We are trying to get books into Camp Dadaab in Kenya. The refugees who live there are from Somalia so the books had to be translated into Somali. Pray for these Muslim families. Our hope is to reach the parents through the children.
Meet two friends from Cambodia. Theareth and Charia on the left. Charia is a programmer at TWR Radio in Phnom Penn, the capital city. Every weekend they go to the city dump and find hungry children. They take food to them and tell them the story of Jesus. At Christmas, they gave the children the Read-and-Color book WISE MEN SEEK JESUS. Some of you saw the picture of "Christmas at the Dump." Charia sent it after taking books, crayons and food to the children and who literally live at the city dump.. The children were very excited to get the books and crayons.
We have a new contacts in Pakistan. He will be here again this summer and it will be exciting to see him again.
Also books are being translated and sold in the Telugu-speaking States of India. Books are also being translated into Kannada, another language of central India. Christians need the Bread of Life to help them grow in their faith. They need the Scripture explained in clear, simple language at affordable prices. This is the objective of Manna Publications. It always has been.
In Ghana Enoch Mani continues to publish Manna books. He printed WISE MEN SEEK JESUS and said the children loved it. This has been repeated many times over in different countries. For each printing we have tried to help with $100 - far less than most need, but it helps to get them started.
As more and more hear about the books, more are down loading them from our web site www.mannapublications.org. Please pray for the web site will be effective in reaching people we could never contact without it.
"Manna for ChiIdren" book HE IS ALIVE. The illustrated Easter story is also off the press, the stories of TIMOTHY and JONAH in the pipeline. Virginia Manson has the artwork done for three more. . . . so we have plenty of work ahead.
Charia and Thereth plan to take HE IS ALIVE (the heart of the gospel story, to the Cambodian children and adults at the city dump..
The Board budgeted for a new computer for Fred. The old one is about to die. Doug Sesnsabaugh made the change over for us possible. He has been a great help. And, praise God, all our Juno Address Book transferred to the new machine. So your name is still on the list to receive our Manna News until you ask to be deleted..
Blessings in Jesus
Fred & Lorna Morris
