MANGA Project

MANGA Project

mangaim-1

Directly sharing the impactful power of the Gospels through Manga Bibles.

Unbelievably Effective

Manga is known worldwide as a major part of Japanese culture. With that in mind, and the influence it has had on a global scale, in 2006, New Life Ministries embarked upon a project to produce a new manga version of the Bible, starting with the Gospels, and producing a series of 5 books covering the Old and New Testament.

This Manga Bible went above and beyond expectation in its popularity and impact, and today, Manga Messiah (covering the life of Jesus as presented in the Gospels) has been translated into 27 languages, with 6 more languages in the works. This project is continuing to grow each year, with more interest for the book in new languages coming in all the time.

A Huge Opening for Manga

In countries where Christianity is not allowed and Bible cannot be sent in, the manga books have a way in, and thus the Gospel message can still be spread.
In places like India and the Middle East, where there is persecution against Christians, there is opportunity with manga, as we continue to translate and produce the books in the local languages.
Whether it be in conflict areas or disaster zones, to children or to those who cannot even read, the manga penetrates all kinds of situations to reach the heart of people everywhere.
