True evangelical faith cannot lie dormant…and neither can Menno's chia beard! 

Mennonite Mission Network is excited to announce the first entry in the new line of commemorative Anabaptist decorative planters: The Menno Simons Chia Pet!

Simply spread the seeds of peace, baptize in water, and watch it grow!  

Menno Simons, the 16th century Roman Catholic priest-turned-Anabaptist thought leader, was so influential in the movement that his followers became known as Mennonites. Now, you can bring this denominational figurehead into your home! Set the Menno Simons Chia Pet on a windowsill or desk, take in his charming leafy beard, and be reminded of his call to engage in active, Jesus-centered faith. Product of the Netherlands. 

"For true evangelical faith is of such a nature that it cannot lie dormant; but manifests itself in all righteousness and works of love." 

—Menno Simons, Why I Do Not Cease Teaching and Writing, 1539
