Manny Mill

Manny Mill, Executive Director of Koinonia House® National Ministries (KHNM) delivers a passionate, urgent and biblically prophetic message, in English and Spanish, around the United States as he preaches the gospel – Christ, and Him crucified – in churches, colleges and universities, seminars and conferences, and behind prison walls! Koinonia House® National Ministries, Inc. is a post-prison ministry equipping the body of Christ (today’s Christian Church) to “love” their Christian neighbors coming out of prison. Manny says the reason KHNM does this ministry is not driven by need alone but because it is the biblically right thing to do. Therefore, Manny does not come to preach about KHNM, rather Manny comes to preach the gospel of redemption in Jesus Christ, which reaches across social, gender, racial, cultural and denominational barriers. Manny’s desire is to present a “colorful Bride” to Jesus, the Groom. It is this very pattern of diversity modeled by Jesus Christ that compels Manny to reach across in the same way. A self-proclaimed Biblicist, this Cuban-born evangelist possesses the unique skill of being able to adapt to any situation and audience – even Spanish! Because of Manny’s love for God’s holy written and living word - the Bible, he is able to present the gospel with clarity and an infectious enthusiasm. Manny says, “Jesus is the real deal” and therefore it is his mission to make sure that people are introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ in every one of his sermons. Manny has come from a very colorful past life apart from Jesus. In 1986, while he was running from the FBI to Caracas, Venezuela, Manny met and trusted Jesus Christ. After surrendering his life to Jesus, he returned to the United States and served nearly two years in federal prison. In 1988, he received one of the first Charles W. Colson Scholarships awarded to ex-prisoners to attend Wheaton College. There he earned a BA in Biblical Studies (1989) and an MA in Theological Studies (1991). Manny was ordained to the work of the Gospel ministry in May 1991. The first Koinonia House®, organized in late 1990, was the result of Manny's sharing with a few others his vision and personal experience of how the local church provided spiritual and physical help to him upon his release from prison. Today’s family-home-based model of post-prison ministry was developed at the first house in Wheaton, IL, and Koinonia House® National Ministries, Inc. was formed in 1997. In addition to establishing local Koinonia House ministries, the Meet Me at the Gate™ initiative was developed to provide an opportunity for churches to meet the needs of Christian neighbors coming out of prison where the establishment of a complete house was not yet possible. Manny and his wife, Barbara are trained instructors for Prison Fellowship's In-Prison Seminars. Manny also works as an advocate for the church in prison. He challenges the church outside the prison walls to support and embrace Christian inmates while they are in prison and upon their release. He was instrumental in developing a resolution entitled The Church's Responsibility to Prisoners which was adopted by the National Black Evangelical Association, the National Association of Evangelicals, the Salvation Army and Prison Fellowship Ministries in 1997. In September 1994, he received the "Good Neighbor Award" presented annually by the DuPage AME Church in recognition of service to the community. Manny served as president of the West Suburban Evangelical Fellowship (WSEF), a local association of the National Association of Evangelicals, from 1995-1996. In August

come, look through this telescope

He gave . . . teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God. (Ephesians 4:11–13) When you look heavenward on a clear night, you can see glory. But look through a strong telescope, and your mouth may drop. That’s what sitting under a gifted teacher can be like. God gave teachers to the church so that saints like us will see more glory than we would have on our own. He appoints them to study the cosmos of the Scriptures, look deeper into the galaxies of God’s revelation, see more glory than the rest of us fellow heirs would perceive with the naked eye of our own soul, and then labor to help us see it too. God gives some teachers extraordinary gifts to aid an extraordinary number of saints. One of those teachers is Jonathan Edwards. See the Whole Universe If all you know of Edwards is that he wrote the famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” then take special note of this observation by John Piper: “Identifying Jonathan Edwards with ‘Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’ is like identifying Jesus with the woes against Chorazin and Bethsaida” (Matthew 11:21; Luke 10:13). The woes and wrath are real. But they are just one constellation in the biblical cosmos of God’s glory. There is a universe more to see! When Edwards looked through the lens of Scripture, he saw galaxies of God’s glory that drop the jaw and captivate the soul. He peered further than perhaps anyone else into the mysteries of God’s sovereignty and the nature of the Trinity, and he left for us unparalleled explanations of God’s purpose for creation, the nature of love, the justice of hell, and the crucial importance of the truth that “ God is glorified not only by his glory’s being seen, but by its being rejoiced in. ” Sound familiar? Be Captivated by Glory But oh, that explanation doesn’t come close to doing Edwards justice! Reading Edwards really is like looking through a high-powered telescope, into the night sky of Scripture, ablaze with the glory of God. You simply need to come take a look for yourself! So come! Come, take a look! You will be amazed, and, I pray, captivated by what you see.
