Thank you for joining us in a little bit of April Fools fun! As you may have suspected, the Menno Simons Chia Pet is not a real product.
The ministries and partnerships that Mission Network engages in around the world, however, are very real indeed. Mission Network exists to lead, mobilize and equip the church to participate in mission. The way this mission blossoms though the lives of workers, partner organizations, and service volunteers is creative and unique. Yet in each context, the inspiration for mission leads directly to the example Jesus gave through his life and ministry.
While Mission Network is not in the business of Menno Simons-themed Chia Pets, we’re excited to give you a taste of the work we are involved in. Below, we’ve included stories that inspire, and materials to engage your church in God’s mission. You’ll also find ways to support these ministries through prayer and giving.
