We are all YABs, Young AnaBaptists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is to say that the term YABs refers to all young Anabaptists from MWC member churches. Though we have different faces, cultures, languages and ways of practicing our Anabaptist faith, all young people in the global Anabaptist family form part of YABs. What an extravagant gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we have much to share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the commissions and other groups of MWC, YABs also has a committee, the YABs Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This committee represents all of us young people before the MWC General Council and works with the MWC Executive Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The YABs committee is made up of a representative from each continent and a mentor. This committee changes every six years after the Global Youth Summit.
The manager of YABs <\/strong>(formerly known as staff mentor) for 2022-2028 is Ebenezer Mondez <\/strong>(Philippines).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The continental representatives <\/strong>share the needs of young people in their continental regions with the YABs committee, and then to jointly discuss projects and themes related to young Anabaptists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The YABs coordinator <\/strong>administers, coordinates and implements the logistical details of YABs programs and events. Beginning 1 March 2026, Isaac Gborbitey serves in this role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of the manager is to advise and monitor the work of the YABs Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
