“And he will answer, ‘I will tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
The Robert Manning Ministry is a ministry that focuses on transforming lives and transforming communities. As a ministry we not only want to meet the spiritual needs of the “least of these” but also their physical needs. Those needs can include clothing, counseling, food, shelter, etc.
Who do we Serve?
Those we serve are among the “least of these”. We serve the homeless, low-income households, and those in crisis.
Services
*Clothing Closet: New and gently worn clothing is distributed to the homeless and low-income households in the Fort Worth Area.
*Food Pantry: The Food Pantry provides goods for low income families in need.
*Community Outreach – We are currently serving every 3rd Wednesday of the month at the ACH Youth Shelter in Fort Worth. We provide a hot meal to the youth of the shelter and we fellowship with them.
*Holiday Baskets – During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday our mission is to provide to those in need. We provide baskets of food to those in need during the Thanksgiving holiday. For Christmas, not only do we provide food but we also conduct a toy and coat drive within the community as well.

Future Plans
Mobile Mission Truck – The Robert Manning Ministry is currently trying to purchase a mobile truck that will allow us to serve communities around the Fort Worth area. The truck will house clothing, food, and personal hygiene kits, and supplies.
Bridging the Gap – The Robert Manning Ministry wants to work with those that are currently in the transitional phase of life. This may be someone who is in need of assistance entering the workforce (resume building, working with the temp agencies) or needs life building skills (financial management, battling drug addiction, alcoholism). Our goal is to help them find the resources but also bridge the gap between them in Jesus. By helping someone connect with God while making their transition from life’s struggles, we can be that continuous supporting cast.
Answering God’s Call
Volunteering, giving back, community service – no matter how you say it, it’s what God wants us to do as Christians. There are plenty of opportunities to serve in the church, community, or in the world. Whether you have one hour or several to spare, there is a need to serve others. For more information on how you can volunteer or help serve in any capacity please see Sis. Mary Manning or Sis. Stephanie Carter for more information.
