And serve each other according to the gift each person has received, as good managers of God’s diverse gifts.
1 Peter 4:10 (Anabaptist Community Bible)
Too often, mission work has flowed in one direction: North Americans going abroad to dig wells, plant churches or launch programs. These efforts can accomplish real good.
Yet these efforts sometimes overlook an important piece of the work that Christ modeled and called for the church to do — building mutual relationships.
Jesus didn’t just meet physical needs; He entered people’s lives, listened to their stories, and understood their spiritual, cultural, and theological realities.
Mennonite Mission Network begins by asking, “How can we come alongside you in God’s mission, in supporting your vision for your ministry in your context? How can we help you make connections to people and resources you need so your ministry will thrive?”
Our goal is to build reciprocal relationships in which grace, learning, and resourcing flow in both directions, blessing everyone involved.
Our partners, programs and workers fall into three main areas.
Anti-racism work
Restorative justice and conflict resolution
Solidarity with Indigenous peoples
Advocacy and support for immigrants and refugees
Ecology and environmental stewardship
Educational support
Healthcare
