Mothers who are invested in nurturing and raising their young are Sacred Lifebearers. Our society has made it especially difficult for mothers who’ve been abandoned, mistreated, or widowed to raise their children in the traditional ways they may desire. Manna Enough for Lifebearers connects mothers of Indigenous children left to care for their young alone with other mothers who’ve walked a similar journey and who’ve effectively been guided by Creator’s wisdom and faithful provision. Manna Enough for Lifebearers provides resources, emotional support, and spiritual nurturing for mothers seeking to live in Covenant with Creator, as they parent their children in harmony with His ways traditionally. Participating mothers will have the opportunity to contribute in meaningful ways to extending the support of MEL to other mothers.
When mothers have the support they need from a caring community, they are empowered to focus their energy and attention on their most important purpose – the nurturing of their children in harmony with Creator’s design.
Our mission is simple yet vital: to support single mothers in a holistic way—covering mind, body, spirit, and relationships through:
- knowledge enrichment
- emotional support
- financial resources
- spiritual nurturing
within a community of others who can relate to the journey.
