Manna Publications helps to meet the need for Bible study commentaries by:
1. Arranging publishing partnerships with Christians, missions or churches
2. Supplying electornic copies (text with pictures) to trusted contacts
3. Helping to pay for the first printing, done locally, at the point of need

printing more books

3. Provides a business model and helps for translators
4. Encourages local production to give distributors on-the-job training and
stimulate local economies

operates his or her own Christian publishing business
