We are Manna Family

Manna Family is a ministry born not just from vision, but from a testimony. We're a UK-based family of six, called to bring the Good News of Jesus to life through the power of the performing arts. Our journey began amid personal suffering, as we walked through the challenges of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Dysautonomia POTS. In that place,  God birthed a determined purpose. What started as a personal battle became a public ministry—where stories heal, music speaks, and Jesus is glorified.

​​​

We are not a theatre company—we are missionaries, evangelists, artists, and storytellers. We travel as a family wherever God sends us—whether to a church, a street corner, a tent mission, or a Sunday morning service. Our aim is always the same: to use our gifts to open hearts, awaken faith, and point people to Jesus.

 

For us, every performance is more than entertainment—it's an invitation to encounter the love of Christ.​ At the heart of Manna Family is a deep conviction: That the arts, when surrendered to God, can become vessels of truth, healing, and revival.

 

During the week, Jai and Gary happily serve as volunteer Christian Retreat house wardens, where they enjoy reaching out to the local community. On weekends and during special events, they lovingly extend their ministry alongside their four wonderful children through the dedicated work of Manna Family.  

I was impacted through the production Relentless Love, the production was anointed, extremely powerful and visually brilliant.
