About
The Full Story
The name "Manifold Global" beautifully weaves together spiritual depth and a global vision, creating a tapestry of significance and impact.
"Manifold," unveiled in a moment of prayer and rooted in the wisdom of 1 Peter 4:10, symbolises the unique gifts each individual possesses—an embodiment of God's manifold grace. This term paints a vivid picture of a tapestry, woven with wisdom and infinite variety, mirroring the multifaceted life of Jesus.
Elevating this vision to a "Global" scale transcends mere geography; it embodies a commitment to unity across diverse backgrounds. Like the metaphorical seed on fertile ground, the company envisions bearing fruit that surpasses imagination, fostering connections and impacting lives worldwide.
In essence, "Manifold Global" represents more than a business name; it signifies a mission. It is a commitment to embrace and amplify the unique gifts within individuals, fostering diversity and abundance on a global stage. The fusion of "Manifold" and "Global" speaks volumes about the company's dedication to nurturing a rich tapestry of possibilities and empowerment worldwide.
The narrative deepens with the recognition of the growing presence of Pasifika athletes globally. As elite sports chaplains, our firsthand experience revealed gaps in wellbeing services for Pasifika individuals in sport. This realisation sparked a passionate commitment to bridge these gaps, especially as Pasifika communities continue to migrate for work and opportunities abroad.
"Manifold Global" thus becomes not only a name but a beacon—a promise to positively impact communities worldwide, including our Pasifika brothers and sisters. It's a journey fuelled by a desire to nurture wellbeing, create opportunities, and empower individuals to flourish in every corner of the globe.
