Mannas' and Friends' "We Can Make A Difference" Video

We may be the physical hands that minister here in Ukraine, but our family has been sent by many friends, relatives, and churches. This sending team has faithfully stood behind us with their prayers, encouragement, and financial support. This video includes pictures of our family and ministry along with several members of the team that is responsible for us being here. As the song says, together we can make a difference. We want to express our deepest thanks to our entire support team, not just to those who are represented in the pictures which we took last summer.
