The International Community of Mennonite Brethren (ICOMB) is made up of 21 national churches in 19 countries with approximately 450,000 members. ICOMB exists to facilitate relationships and ministries to enhance the witness and discipleship of its member national churches – connecting, strengthening and expanding.

Jesus said, “In the world you will have trouble.” The news reports: hurricane, typhoon and El Niño flooding; earthquakes; political leaders creating trouble. Jesus said, “Do not worry. I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
