MWC\u2019s regional representatives<\/a> are part-time volunteers who develop and support relationships with MWC member, associate-member and potential-member churches; local congregations; and MWC-related agencies and partners. This year sees several changes in the regional representatives\u2019 team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cOur regional representatives provide a vital link between the work of Mennonite World Conference and that of our member churches around the world,\u201d says C\u00e9sar Garc\u00eda, General Secretary. \u201cThese leaders have a keen knowledge of the churches in their region. They work at deepening these relationships so we can share gifts even more profoundly within MWC.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regional representatives not only explain Mennonite World Conference to national churches but also carry the concerns of national churches to the global family through MWC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After more than a decade of service, Cynthia Peacock<\/strong> has retired from her role as regional representative for South Asia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cCynthia has exemplified the work of a regional representative since the inception of the role. She has persistently met with church leaders, listening carefully and wisely to many challenges of the churches, and encouraging leaders to follow Jesus, build peace and live in unity\u201d says Janet Plenert, regional representatives\u2019 coordinator. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRead more “I became a Mennonite in my heart”<\/em><\/summary>\n
