Long-term Workers

Long-term Workers

We have several SMM workers who are engaged in various countries on long terms. Since they come from mostly German and French speaking Mennonite churches you can find further information on our French and German website.

Our desire is that people may experience Jesus Christ in everyday life, in their work relationships, and in personal relationships, both at home and abroad. We serve by building relationships, by working for reconciliation, by discipling people and by supporting people materially.

We invite workers to serve with our partners for several months or for longer periods. In general, we offer such ministries in collaboration with well-known and trusted partners. SMM want to enhance serving opportunities, especially investing in reconciliation and peace building projects (eg in cooperation with the DMFK).
