Stories That Carry the Sacred

In faith-based development work, stories are often used to communicate mission and inspire generosity. But at their best, stories are more than tools for fundraising — they are sacred reminders of where grace, dignity, resilience, and hope are already alive in the world. Rev. Chris Manke will reflect on how paying attention to people’s stories can renew our sense of calling, deepen our gratitude, and help us see our daily work as part of something holy.


Rev. Chris Manke serves as Executive Director of Outreach for Hope, a nonprofit ministry of the Greater Milwaukee Synod, ELCA, that supports life-giving ministries serving low-income communities throughout southeastern Wisconsin. A pastor for more than 30 years, Chris is passionate about helping people see where faith, hope, and everyday life meet. His ministry has included congregational leadership, nonprofit fundraising, international partnerships, storytelling, photography, and walking alongside communities where resilience and grace are often found in the most unexpected places. Chris brings a pastoral heart, a love for meaningful conversation, and a deep belief that moments of reflection can renew us for the work we are called to do.


Spiritual Connection: Inspire. Uplift. Connect. 

Join us for Spiritual Connection, a monthly virtual gathering designed to uplift your spirit, foster meaningful connections, and provide a moment of peace in your busy schedule.

Designed for members of the Christian Development Council (CDC), this virtual gathering provides a unique opportunity to explore faith-based topics that inspire, uplift, and connect us all. Topics focus on personal growth, spiritual enrichment, and building a sense of unity. From current events to devotional pieces, health tips to passages from inspiring books, our speakers share their passions, creating space for meaningful reflection and connection. 

What to Expect:

  • Motivating Speakers: Each month, a featured speaker will share their wisdom and passion on a topic relevant to our spiritual lives.
  • Thought-Provoking Discussions: Engage in meaningful conversations with fellow members of our community, sharing your thoughts and experiences.
  • A Welcoming Atmosphere: All are welcome, regardless of where you are on your spiritual path.
