Message From The President

It is with a tremendous sense of gratitude that I am able to serve the body of Christ in this manner. At Jireh Manna Productions International (JMI), it is our honor to host events which uplifts the downtrodden, honor the poor and to give hope to the lost.

Our Church and Organization Excellence Award Luncheon, is designed to bring recognition to those labourers who are oftentimes overlooked. It is our hope, that this small gesture of appreciation, will indeed inspire these workers and supporters to continue to build the kingdom and the nation at large.

At JMI, we believe in serving the Lord with gladness and excellence. It is anticipated, that ministry workers across denominational and organizational divide will participate and share in this occasion with us. We are especially pleased to host, as has become customary for us, our special guest of honors from the Great Commission Ministries, Elijah Hilltop Ministries and Straw Inc. These are our charitable partners and we are committed to their cause.

On behalf of all of the principals of Jireh Manna Productions International, I wish to congratulate all of our recipients of our Excellence Award. This year we have added two new categories. This is our Lifetime Achievement Award and our Mentorship Award. Our Lifetime Award will be given to a very distinguished community advocate activist, Bishop Walter Hanchell and our Mentorship Award will be given to a very honourable and competent mentor, Prophetess Joan E. Laing.

I want to thank all of our covenant partners and volunteers who have made tremendous sacrifice to make this event successful. May God bless us all.
