We have been hearing about problems at Desert Manna but things are looking up. We want to support and encourage this wonderful shelter for the homeless. Jesus reminds us (Matt 25:35-40) "Feed the hungry and care for the sick - comfort the lonely." Desert Manna is a wonderful way of reaching out and we thank God for it.
