Bogotá, Colombia – Mennonite World Conference weaves a web of connections within the Anabaptist Mennonite family around the world through website, emails, social media, publishing and relations with other organizations. Here are some new connecting points.

• Who is MWC and what do we do? Watch our Year in Review video coming in January. 

• For special Sundays each year, MWC creates worship resources, which can be found online. Plan your service with the aid of song suggestions, a sermon outline, and testimonies and cultural background. MWC’s African regional representatives contributed to our World Fellowship Sunday 2018 package. Peace Sunday 2017’s “A Renewed Peace Church Builds Bridges” and YABs Fellowship Week 2017’s “Pursue Peace” are also available. Click here to download World Fellowship Sunday 2018 worship resources.

• Regional Representatives are national church’s first point of contact with MWC. Mariano Ramirez (Dominican Republic), an ordained minister, pastor and a member of the Executive Committee of the Evangelical Mennonite Conference in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has been appointed Regional Representative for Latin America - Caribbean Region. Mariano has worked as an accountant, an economist, and practices as a lawyer.

• Réseau Mennonite francophone (RMF) shares stories and news – in French – of particular interest to our French speaking members. Recently, eight schools and six other partners signed an agreement with FATEAC, a Bible school in Ivory Coast, to facilitate Anabaptist theological courses online. Read more here (French only).
