Children bear the invisible scars of war. As families navigate a landscape of death, fear, trauma, and uncertainty, more and more children lose their identities, childhood, and sense of safety.
Manga Messiah has become more than just a book—it is a lifeline. It offers a different kind of hope against the despair of war.
Such is the story of a Ukrainian girl who has been displaced and separated from loved ones and a life she once knew. She clings to a precious copy of the Manga Messiah found among donated supplies. Its vivid illustrations and stories of hope offer a brief but healing escape from the harsh realities of a war she did not choose. She finds supernatural strength to endure. She finds unexpected inspiration from heroes who faced impossible and the most heartbreaking situations. She suddenly lost her childhood because of this painful war. But as she reads each page of the Manga Messiah, she becomes a child all over again.
New Life Ministries has printed the Manga Messiah in the Ukrainian language for partners serving in the field. Manga transcends cultural boundaries, carrying strong messages of hope and resilience from biblical stories. Because children exposed to a war experience high levels of stress and anxiety disorders, compelling and relatable stories such as the Manga Messiah help children process the very complex emotions of fear, confusion, and grief.
We wish to convey our gratitude to everyone who continues to partner with us through faithful prayers, donations, and printing projects. We look ahead with courage and hope. We fix our eyes on Jesus as we cry out to Him for true healing and change in Ukraine. Let us keep praying and working together. Through the pages of this life-changing Manga Bible, the gospel of Jesus can reach and heal the very tender hearts of thousands of children in Ukraine. These children will be reminded that in their darkest moments, they are completely loved by Jesus.
Thank you for being our partners in this ministry of healing and hope through printing and global distribution of the Bible and gospel literature. May God richly bless you.
New Life Ministries is a non-denominational Christian ministry committed to serving the Lord by printing and sending Bibles and Gospel literature to Japan and the rest of the world, in each people group’s heart language.
Beginning in 1954, under the name New Life League, the ministry reached out to children, provided Gospel literature, and did evangelism through radio broadcast.
Later on, the work shifted more to the collection and printing of Gospel literature as the main focus.
Throughout history, there has always been a call for the supply of Bibles, and New Life Ministries has continued to do all that it can to meet the demand. Our purpose is to see Japan changed for Jesus, and that the whole world be filled with His precious Word.
