Manabago Coming to Town
I’m excited to have Mark Moore and the Manabago gang coming to Abilene as part of their cross-country tour.
I first got close to Mark when I was preaching at the College Church in Searcy and he was a Harding student. We stayed close through his family’s eight years in Uganda. And since then I’ve enjoyed following his career as an advocate for Africa in DC and now as the CEO and founder of MANA (Mother Administered Nutritive Aid). (I have a close friend who has said several times that if he ever wins the lotto he wants to use the money just to fund all the kingdom dreams that Mark Moore has!)
Some talk about feeding the world. Mark and the Mana folks have a plan.
Peanut butter.
Yep, you can read Mark’s editorial in the Huffington Post about it here.
How do you get word out about this amazing idea? Well, rent a 1971 Winnebago, dub it the “Manabago,” and take off to college campuses (and other places, including the famous Lanier Christmas Party in Houston), of course.
Can’t wait for Mark to speak to my class on Monday morning. If you’re in Abilene, watch for the Manabago and come visit!
Will this be available for others who aren’t in your class? Sounds incredible.
Yes, I believe Mark is speaking in chapel. They will also be hanging out for students to come by and ask questions.
I appreciate Richard posting something this morning: http://experimentaltheology.blogspot.com/2011/10/mana-manabago.html
The Manabago was a BIG hit in Searcy!
