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) 

Partners in God's mission

Across the street and around the world

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. 

1. Peace, justice and reconciliation

2. Health and sustainability

  • Ecology/environmental stewardship
  • Educational support
  • Healthcare
  • Organizational support (administration, IT, etc.)
  • Social services and community outreach

3. Spiritual growth and formation

  • Bible and resource translation
  • Biblical and theological education 
  • Church planting
  • Development of media for outreach
  • Interfaith relations
  • Leadership development
  • Women in leadership
  • Youth development
