Assist International Resource Workers

International Witness invites your gifts to assist partner churches who request instruction and development in Anabaptist theology, Biblical training and practises.

Resource Workers fulfill short term, volunteer, international assignments that may include teaching theology and practice, principles of senior care, management of social service or income generation projects - all from an Anabaptist Christian perspective. We find volunteers that use their expertise to meet the needs identified by international partners. Your donations help cover expenses (e.g., travel).

Associate Professor Derek Suderman (Conrad Grebel University College) has led classes in Thailand in 2022 and 2023. He said, "It was invigorating to engage with such passionate and resourceful leaders,” adding it was an eye-opening experience to witness the Thai church sharing the "good news of Christ and engaging constructively as a tiny minority in the broader culture."

Wendy Kroeker and Gordon Zerbe have accepted an invitation to teach in Spring semester 2024 at UKDW (Duta Wakana Christian University).  This assignment may include teaching with other Mennonite Church Canada partners in Philippines or Vietnam.  

Dan Epp-Thiessen is teaching online with the Tokyo Area Fellowship of Mennonite Churches.  Others are looking at short term teacher training assignments for setting up resource centres in English training or mentoring lay leadership training through AMBS. Donations not needed at this time.
