Initially starting on Zoom in Portage La Prairie in 2021, MPF moved to in-person gatherings in a basement. The fellowship outgrew this space and moved to Church of the Rock North End in 2022. Focusing on outreach and missions, especially among the indigenous community, MPF hosted its first camp, Meraki Manitoba, in October 2022. The fellowship continues to grow, with around 25 regular attendees in 2024, guided by Pastor Jerry Jose and supported by Brothers Vijoy Simon and Jans Thomas.
