ELKHART, Ind. (Mennonite Mission Network) — Mennonite Mission Network expands its vision for partnering in peacemaking, social justice and antiracism ministries with proceeds from the recent sale of the Mennonite Voluntary Service (MVS) house in Washington, D.C. 

 

Mission Network will tithe proceeds to the Washington, D.C., MVS host congregations: Community House Church, Washington, D.C., and Hyattsville Mennonite Church, Hyattsville, Maryland. Mission Network will use the remainder of the $905,000 sales price, after closing costs, to establish an endowment that directly supports peacemaking, social justice and anti-racism organizations that are run by people of color, as recommended by the host congregations.  

 

Mennonite Mission Network exists to lead, mobilize, and equip the church to participate in the holistic witness of Jesus Christ in a broken world. Mission Network envisions every congregation and all parts of the church being fully engaged in mission ​across the street, all through the marketplaces and around the world. www.MennoniteMission.net
