Stories from the Navajo Nation | Bill & Grace Manning (Part 1)
In this episode, Bill and Grace Manning share their personal backgrounds and their connection to the Navajo Nation. From growing up in Virginia and navigating unexpected seasons, and how those painful experiences ultimately shaped his empathy, leadership, and reliance on God.
The Mannings recount how a high school mission trip to Arizona back in 1995 blossomed into nearly 30 years of annual summer outreach and Vacation Bible School partnerships at Hidden Springs Bible Church. They discuss the life-changing leap of faith in 2018 when they uprooted their family and moved four daughters across the country to live on the reservation full-time for five years. Discerning God's timing when a season comes to an end, Bill and Grace offer an inspiring look at obedience, identity, and relational ministry.
