Emmanuel Manzaneda

What gets you excited about coaching?

I love connecting with people who are walking the same road of raising support, understanding them, and cheering them on as they reach their goals.

What's your #1 tip for gaining new funding partners?

Be real, be clear, and trust God. Honest conversations open the door for people to join what He is doing.

Tell us about a time when you helped someone overcome a significant barrier to successful fundraising.

I helped a missionary who truly believed support raising wasn’t possible for him. We worked on trusting God, communicating clearly and honestly with people, and building a simple, realistic plan for how to use his time well. Little by little he started reaching his goals, his confidence grew, and he was encouraged to keep serving in ministry.

Where can we find you on the weekends?

Weekends are for church, meeting with friends, time with Lucia and family, and asados that become real conversations with our family in Christ.

Where have you served cross-culturally?

I’ve served as a missionary and raised support while serving in Australia and Argentina, and I also spent time serving in the Dominican Republic. I’m currently based in Argentina as Lucia and I prepare to serve in Guyana.
