Overview

Through the Ministry Connections program, nearly 250 congregations, groups and individuals experience a more direct connection with Mennonite Mission Network ministries and mission workers. This interactive giving program creates a direct and personal connection between Ministry Connections and mission workers, who rely on prayer support, personal encouragement and financial contributions to further their ministry. Ministry Connections care for workers by sending notes of encouragement or care packages, sharing financial resources and praying regularly for mission workers and their ministries. Nearly half of all mission workers together receive more than $900,000 annually in financial support. In turn, Ministry Connections receive prayer letters and other information about their workers' assignment. The program enables a deepening sense of connection as the relationships develop."From (Christ) the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." -Ephesians 4:16

Ministry Connections are…

Inclusive

Anyone can be a ministry connection: congregations, groups, or individuals. If you or your group desires to be connected with ministry in the U.S. or internationally, then consider becoming a ministry connection.

Committed

A mission worker often commits to a term of at least three years and many serve multiple terms. Ministry Connections are encouraged to make the same type of commitment, with the hope that the support relationship will continue for the duration of this ministry or assignment.

Connected

Mennonite Mission Network has ministries and workers all over the world including places like: Mongolia, the Middle East, Lithuania, Colombia, and Burkina Faso.
