In most churches, 350 out of every 400 people go unseen.
With Manna, no prayer or need goes unheard, no one's a stranger, no question goes unanswered, and no one misses what's happening. All on WhatsApp, at no cost. We keep it that way through the generosity of people who believe in what it does.
Manna lives on your church's WhatsApp. People write in the way they already message friends, and Manna answers in your church's voice.
Sample conversation for a fictional church.
Manna is free for every church we serve, and we want to keep it that way. Right now, someone is messaging a church because there's nowhere else to turn. A prayer request. A question they're too afraid to ask in person. A need that can't wait till Sunday. Your gift keeps that moment from going unanswered.
R24 a month keeps one person connected 24/7.
Sometimes the message that arrives late at night is not a question. When someone is in crisis, Manna gives them a helpline straight away (SADAG, 0800 567 567) and alerts the right people at your church, so a real person can reach out.
Manna never pretends to be a counsellor and never replaces your pastors. It makes sure the people who need care are seen, and that your team hears about it.
We'll begin connecting your church's WhatsApp number and preparing your setup. In most cases, your Manna assistant will be live within 24 hours, at no cost to your church.

Manna runs on infrastructure from providers certified to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and is built with POPIA in mind. M-Chat, the company behind Manna, is registered with the Information Regulator (Reg# 2026-024052). Your church's data belongs to your church and is never sold.
No. Manna makes sure every message gets a warm reply and that the conversations that need a person reach one. Prayer, needs and crisis moments are passed to your team.
They're given a helpline straight away (SADAG, 0800 567 567) and the people you choose at your church are alerted, so someone can reach out. Manna is not an emergency service.
We'll use this information to prepare Manna before activation.
Your support can help open the door to connection, prayer, guidance, and care, especially for the person who goes unnoticed.
