Meet Mike Manion

Meet Bonnie Manion

Bonita “Bonnie” Manion is an ordained minister and chaplain who helps lead III Hands with a steady, caring presence. She’s the kind of leader who brings both heart and order. Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Virginia, Bonnie moved to New York in 1974 and met Jesus as her Savior in 1977.

Her greatest joy is her husband of 45 years, Mike, and their family—six children, eight grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. She began serving as a chaplain through the International Police and Fire Chaplaincy Association (IPFCA) and now with First Responders Global Chaplaincy (FRGC) under Rev. Carl Clark, serving in International Affairs and as a First Responder Chaplain in her church and community since 2002.
