Over the last 11 years, we have had the privilege of bringing the bible alive in locations all over the United Kingdom. From these productions, we have had incredible testimonies, heartfelt reviews and experiences. We want to share a few of these with you below.















Words of recommendation
"The whole Crick family Gary, Jaime, Noah, Arialle, Oscar and Eli are involved full-time in Manna’s ministry of writing and producing biblical musical theatre and training many for performing arts in mission and evangelism. They beautifully model and are an example of a whole family working together in ministry. I whole-heartedly endorse and confirm who they are and what they do."

"I have worked alongside Gary, Jaime, and the family on several occasions, over several years now. From the outset, these guys love Jesus and are passionate about making him known through the creative arts. They are so gifted and talented in retelling the amazing truths of the gospel through music, dance and drama, and the cast that they work with is incredible. Over the years we have hosted various productions including indoor and outdoor performances as well as facilitated mission weeks with bible college students.
An example of how talented they are was when they brought a group of bible college students down to Devon on a mission week. During that week they all got stuck into various things from small group testimonies to street evangelism, and along the way, the students learnt and practised a script (written by Jamie) which they then performed at the end of the week. It was one of the most powerful performances I had seen with such a short time of rehearsal, it was the work of God through talented but also humble and willing people.
Recently we hosted their Passion Play in the middle of our town. The Crick Family organised everything from working with the council to hiring sound equipment, staging and setting up. In the end, they put on what was an incredible performance of the Passion of Christ. Every time we have worked together for the sake of the gospel we have seen God move powerfully and people respond through the work of the Holy Spirit. They are an extension of our family in Christ and believe God has a plan, purpose and mission for them as they continue to follow His calling. Everyone I have met who is part of the Manna Theatre group has shone Jesus in all that they do; they so love God and love people, and are so willing to do whatever He asks. I look forward to the next adventure God takes them on."

I attended a ‘Relentless’ Christmas presentation a few weeks ago at the Gateway Church in West Bromwich and just wanted to encourage you all on what an amazing work you are doing.
I was so impressed with the whole presentation and it was apparent that on top of the great scripting, attention to details (such as the accents the cast had and even the way they carried on with their conversations as they left the stage) and the beautiful songs and soundtracks, there was a clear anointing on the team/family that was woven throughout the presentation.
It felt so authentic, the lives of the various cast being shared and what they would have been going through and challenged with at the time was so refreshing yet a powerful insight of what it would have been like. The scripting really immersed you into the presentation.
The testimony and message then spoken at the end by Jaime was so moving and such a powerful way to end the whole presentation.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the work you are doing and the message of the gospel you are spreading so effectively.
Keep up the great work and may the Lord continue to bless the works of your hands and may He guide and protect you in all you do in the future.
