India 

 

Mennonite work in India began in 1899. Today, the Mission Network relates to a variety of partners emphasizing leadership training, providing scholarships for Indian Mennonite pastors and health workers to obtain broader skills in their chosen professions.

 

 Ministries
Church planting and evangelism
Church planting and evangelism
Workers engage in evangelism and church planting, some in pioneer situations where no church exists. Others assist international partner churches in their existing evangelism and church-planting efforts.
Education
English and formal education
Mission Network personnel are involved in teaching ministries in a wide variety of school settings and at different levels. Workers teach English, literature and theology courses at both Christian and state universities.
Healthcare
Health care
Medical involvement includes providing human and financial resources to mission hospitals, small-scale work with maternal-child health education, and formal nursing training.
Indigenous support
Indigenous church support
Mission Network personnel and resources support churches in development and missional outreach around the world. While many of these churches have roots stemming from foreign mission endeavors, others are indigenous to the local setting.
Leadership training
Leadership training
Leadership training can take place formally or informally and develops church leadership, builds the capacity of servant leaders, and prepares them to train others for ministry.
Partner support
Partner support
We work in formal partnerships including both congregations of Mennonite Church USA and international partners, while in other situations the Mission Network is called upon to provide more specific support for international partners.
Pastoral care
Pastoral care
Workers nurture individuals and small groups in their faith journey, comfort them in their pain and suffering, and help them navigate life transitions.
Peace and justice
Peace and justice advocacy
Justice and peace ministries have developed in response to both immediate crises and long-term needs either in cooperation with other Christian groups, or initiated by international Mennonite churches.
Youth ministries
Youth outreach
Youth outreach workers walk with adolescents who have already chosen to follow Christ, and invite new believers to join the community of faith. Mission workers often join local initiatives to help young people develop their faith.
