Reverend Erbin Cobian
Reverend Erbin Cobian founded Manna of Life on the principle that no man, woman or child should ever go hungry. His calling is to serve and empower the less fortunate. He himself was once upon a time less fortunate, he was hungry, homeless and felt hopeless. He slept on the NYC subway. He knows firsthand the meaning of homelessness. God turned his life around. He completed an apprenticeship as an ironworker, eventually landed a job working for the New York City Transit Authority, the very same place that he slept in when he was homeless. He recently retired from NYCTA after 27 years of service and is dedicating all his time to the ministry.
Our Mission
Manna of Life Ministries, Inc. is a not-for-profit faith based program dedicated to serving the homeless and destitute. Our goal is to address their immediate hunger needs and ultimately, to empower them to reverse their current situation.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to expand our services and continue to be a catalyst by impacting the lives of the hungry, homeless and poor. This will be realized by making available nutritional and emotional support as well as other necessities that will facilitate their transition from homelessness into housing. We reflect God’s love towards those we serve. We are committed to pursuing a vision for the ministry God has called us to do.
