The Dan Manka Family will be at the Minot Baptist Church from Wednesday to Monday, July 9-14. All services will begin at 7 p.m. except the Sunday evening service will be at 6 p.m.

The Manka Family Ministries is a conservative, evangelistic ministry. They have ministered in 42 states, Mexico, seven Native American reservations, on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House, and in seven provinces of Canada. All five team members are currently or have been Christian school teachers, with about 85 years of experience combined.

They offer preaching, puppetry, Christian drama, object lessons and both instrumental and vocal music. They bring 27 musical instruments with them. Dan Manka has about 30 puppets and has developed about 250 original puppet and drama stories, mostly from history books. Each story lasts about 7 minutes and concludes with a spiritual lesson. The family sings many original songs, and Dan Manka has written many books.
