Radical Journey is a new program offered through MC Canada in cooperation
with MC USA for young adults who are interested in learning and serving
the church in an international setting (see www.mennonitechurch.ca/serve/rji.htm).
This is a powerful opportunity to experience the global church and to
help with the mission of the church. And that mission is not a one way
service is shown by Janet Plenert in her article “Let go and let
God”.
If you have questions or comments, please call 1-866-888-6785
(or locally, 888-6781) or email me at
. Enjoy!
