Witness Workers
Sunday Oct 25 is MC Canada's International Witness Sunday. God is creating something beautiful in us & with us in the global church. MC Canada International Witness is your window to glimpse what God is doing and to join God’s vision for a new heaven & a new earth. As we celebrate International Witness Sunday today & learn about Global Companions, consider how your financial gifts can strengthen these relationships & bless the global church. Your giving supports peacebuilding efforts in Myanmar, ministry outreach in Colombia, biblical education in Benin, and so much more. For more information contact Jeanette Hanson, Director, International Witness. Or check out the website: https://www.mennonitechurch.ca/international-witness .
Our Witness Worker Report: Sook Kyoung and Bock Ki have had some good times to be with pastor couples from within Mennonite Church South Korea. They get together every 3 months for sharing and support. Bock Ki is also pleased that the restorative justice facilitation training that is done through the Chuncheon Community Peace Centre has found its way into two congregations both in Jeju and in Nonsan. So, two more centres are being established that are connected to the Mennonite churches in those areas.
Bock Ki has been working with Mennonite Church South Korea leadership on new pastor training. Like the membership classes that they do, this pastor training is very comprehensive and done over a long period of time.
Bock Ki mentioned Anabaptist History, Biblical Interpretation, and Anabaptist/Mennonite pastoral ministry. These new pastors are very needed in the MCSK network.
May we continue to pray and support them as we see how we can connect more closely with our family of faith in South Korea.
Peace Conference
MCC Sask Peace Conference; Sat Nov 7; 9-4:30. MCC in partnership with the office of the Treaty Commissioner, invite you to join us for the Peace Conference. The theme is: The grass is still growing: returning to the spirit & intent of Treaty. Treaty is an important framework for building peace in our province. To mark the 150th anniversary of Treaty 6, this year’s Peace Conference presents a special partnership with the Office of the Treaty Commissioner. We will take a close look into the original meaning & covenantal intentions of Treaty, & explore the implications of living as Treaty people in Saskatchewan today.
