Mennonite Church Canada Witness
International Ministry Opportunity

Assignment objective

This experience is designed to create a space for adults to enter into an intentional process of faith formation within an Anabaptist perspective. This program will also help young adults to develop their leadership abilities. The program is 12 months long and has three phases:

• Orientation: The first month of orientation in an urban setting is designed to set the background and expectations for the ongoing conversations, study, reflection, service and practice of spiritual disciplines that will continue throughout the year.
• Cross-cultural experience: The next 10 months are spent in an international service location. In most locations participants will live with host families and participate in a variety of service opportunities connected to the local faith community.
• Integration: Upon returning, participants will be asked to spend one month integrating their experience and learnings back into their home church communities.

It is our prayer that participants will continue to influence and form communities of faith and service and participate in the work of calling others to a lifestyle of following Jesus Christ.
