Cookeville, Tennessee
After years of ministry in the Dominican Republic, two missionary couples—Chad and Jill Mynatt and Jeff and Jordan Reese—returned to the U.S. with a continued passion for discipleship. As they began working stateside with Manna Global Missions, God stirred their hearts to serve right where they were: Cookeville, Tennessee.
Fluent in Spanish and deeply rooted in cross-cultural ministry, they launched an outreach to the growing Hispanic community. Through English classes, Bible studies, resource support, and intentional relationships, Manna’s presence in Cookeville has become a bridge—El Puente—connecting people to hope, community, and the love of Christ. What started as a simple step of obedience has grown into a thriving local ministry where lives are being transformed and faith is taking root.
