Did you know it has been over two years since The Manna Project first served its first meal?

You might want to look back at a blog titled cookies and juice. http://klugezone.blogspot.com/2006/01/cookies-and-juice-we-have-started.html

or the first day at the kitchen

From passing out bananas and cookies from the back of a truck to serving hot meals in a loving and safe environment still has the power to amaze me.

We have served over 78,000 meals to hungry children.

We have prayed with these little ones hundreds of times thanking God for the food that was provided, for the women who fixed the food and for the people who provide the means to buy this food.

We have washed thousands of dirty little hands.

We have been able to employee six women from the community and allow them the chance to support their families as well as minister to the children in their community.

We have had unlimited opportunities to love, kiss, hug, comfort, discipline, feed, laugh, teach, hold, and pray for and with these little ones.

We have been taught and we teach. We have blessed and we have been blessed. We have loved and been loved. We have held and been held. We have offered comfort and been comforted. We have prayed and been prayed for. For everything we have given we have received far more than we could have ever have imagined.

When I say we I am not only referring to those of us who are blessed to be able to be in Honduras physically working I am referring to everyone who has worked with us, everyone who has loved one of our children, everyone who has worked in the states to keep Manna serving hot meals, everyone who has listened, who has cried with us and for us, everyone who has spent time in prayer for this mission.

I am referring to everyone whose heart has been touch by a hungry child and has stepped up and said I will do what I can. That is who we are.

We are blessed beyond measure to have been called and to have answered this call.
