  • Invite the global church into your congregation!

    MWC member congregations are welcome to invite one MWC speaker per year to bring a message from the global Anabaptist-Mennonite family. This may be for Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday, Peace Sunday or any day you wish to give special attention to the global family.

    Please consider giving an honorarium appropriate for your region. Contact contributions@mwc-cmm.org for assistance with money transfer if needed.

    Any MWC speaker may be asked to present via live video link (subject to internet connectivity) or a pre-recorded video. If travel is required from outside the region, the host congregation should cover travel costs.

  • This year, the global pandemic forced us to rethink how we do our jobs, how we meet as congregations to worship and even how we connect in relationships. Yet, as we adjusted to new realities, we found news ways of following Jesus Christ, our hope.

    Year in Review abridged
  • Our relationships with you — our sisters and brothers in Christ — were a source of strength as the pandemic continued in 2021.   

    Online experiences during the pandemic have given you new virtual opportunities to connect online.  

    You learned from and supported the global Anabaptist-Mennonite family as we follow Christ together while we are apart.

  • Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday worship resources available here

    In 2022, we found new ways to follow Jesus together across barriers. 

    • We crossed barriers of travel restrictions and distance to come together for our Assembly in 2022.  
    • We crossed national church barriers to meet together, encounter new partners and make decisions by consensus in 2022.  
    • We crossed barriers of time and space to love our neighbours in the name of Christ.  
    • We crossed barriers of inequality by providing teaching resources.  

    We find strength to follow Jesus best when we follow Jesus together.
