OUR STORY
For more than fifteen years, the team behind Manna Business Collective has served together across business and missions, seeing firsthand the challenges and opportunities facing communities around the world. Through those experiences, we developed a shared conviction: business can be a powerful tool for lasting Kingdom impact.
After decades of ministry overseas, Manna Global Missions recognized an opportunity to create generational change by investing in local entrepreneurs. Manna Business Collective was born from that vision—to empower kingdom-minded leaders to build sustainable businesses that create opportunity, strengthen communities, and open doors for the Gospel.
Today, MBC brings together experienced leaders in business, missions, and technology to equip entrepreneurs with the resources, relationships, and guidance they need to thrive. We believe local leaders are best positioned to create lasting solutions within their own communities.
From Thailand and Costa Rica to the Dominican Republic and beyond, we partner with entrepreneurs to strengthen livelihoods, develop leaders, and help communities flourish.
We believe that when businesses thrive with purpose, communities can thrive for generations.
