About Us

Both Ernest and Rachel were born and raised in India. In 1966, while working in the United States, the Komanapallis began Manna International by supporting two pastors from their own income.

In 1969, Miriam Children's Home was started with 2 children. Ernest was Director of Community School in Providence, Rhode Island and Rachel was teaching in the Early Childhood Education Center at Barrington College.

They were called to full time ministry in 1971 and resigned their jobs to return to India.

Since1966, Manna International has grown to 1,000 pastors in the fellowship,

founded 1,000 Full Gospel Churches (each church has at least one outreach center), 30 Children Homes, 8 Bible Schools & Colleges, 15 Schools, 2 Trade Schools, 1 Junior College, 1 Degree College, Teacher training college, a 100 Bed Hospital, 2 Clinics, Christian Film, TV, Radio and Literature Ministry, Ministries for Women and a Treatment Centre for Lepers.

In addition to ministry, teaching, housing, clothing and health care, Manna International feeds over 5,000 children, 200 lepers and 100 Health Care patients everyday. As the Ministries grow so does the need of finance.

It takes a great deal to keep the Ministries operational and venture into new areas. In today's economy it has become increasingly difficult to raise these funds.

Many of our longtime supporters have experienced a shrinking of their resources, as well as an increase in demand from those that they support.

The Lord has given Pastor Komanapalli a special plan for the future to send many more pastors to all corners of India and to reach into Asia and Africa.

The vision extends to train thousands of pastors to reap the harvest of souls and to recruit pray partners to pray for revival in India and around the world.

This work is well under way. You are invited to share in the fulfillment of this vision and the salvation of Millions.
