34 Hours Live. $34,000 Raised to Deploy Digital Evangelists Across the Globe

"Whoever wins the attention of a generation can set the direction of a generation." - Jon Rush, Founder & President

The Mission: Bringing the Gospel to the Digital Frontier

Culture is being shaped by content, and the next generation isn’t gathering on street corners, they are gathering online.

Right now, social media is discipling a generation. Over 53% of young people spend 4 or more hours every single day on social platforms, and 63% turn to TikTok to learn about the world, social issues, and truth. Yet, only 16% of Gen Z attend church regularly, and a staggering 4% claim a biblical worldview.

The loudest voices in digital culture aren't offering truth. Algorithms are saturated with noise, confusion, and compromise from 24 billion views on toxic content tags to predatory funnels on social feeds. Meanwhile, the Church has often watched from the sidelines.

At Manna Creator Club, we believe it’s time to put a horse in the race.

We aren't building influencers for likes; we are forming digital missionaries who carry spiritual weight, theological depth, and gospel clarity into the loudest spaces on Earth. We ask the bold questions: What if the next Mr. Beast knew Jesus? What if the next Kai Cenat came straight from your local church?

The Event: 34 Hours. $34,000. Unstoppable Impact.

From August 21st through August 23rd, we are locking in for an unfiltered, high-energy 34-Hour Livestream Marathon on YouTube.

Our primary target: Raise $34,000 for Manna Creator Club (plus $6,000 in partnership with Convoy of Hope) to directly employ, equip, fund, and pastorally care for digital evangelists.

Every $1,000 raised per hour directly fuels creators who are on the frontlines daily, reaching young people where they actually live.

2. Pastoral Care & Discipleship: Equipping creators with relational accountability, mental health support, and theological depth so they stay anchored off screen.
