Michael and Laura Fletcher co-authored Lifegiving Marriage. Michael has served Manna Church in Fayetteville, NC as Senior Pastor since 1985. In that time, he has seen the church grow from 350 members to 8,500 members. Coupling sound biblical teaching with relevant, practical application and cutting edge outreach, Michael and the pastoral staff have worked to create a culture at Manna that is “others” focused—a culture that lifts the advancement of the Kingdom of God far above the concept of the stereotypical “me” church. Michael and the Manna team seek to inspire God's people into lives of active service and love, both at home and around the world. Michael and Laura have eight children.
