Mennonite Agencies
▪ According to the
United Nations, the world is facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the
second world war.
More than 20 million people across Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and northeast
Nigeria are facing or are at risk of famine. Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is working in the area to provide
emergency food assistance and increase its response to the crisis. Because of
serious conflicts and concerns for safe, unimpeded access for humanitarian
assistance, this process is slow and challenging. To donate to MCC’s relief fund, which supports MCC’s response to
this disaster and others, visit mcc.org/learn/what/relief, call 1-888-563-4676 or
send a check to MCC, PO Box 500, Akron, PA 17501-0500.
▪ Do you enjoy mentoring young adults and
living in community? Service
Adventure is looking for unit leaders for our Colorado Springs, Colo. and
Jackson, Miss., units. The two year term begins late July. If you or someone
you know is interested, please contact Susan Nisly at SusanN@MennoniteMission.net

offering will be collected.
▪ Prayers for Faith and
Learning: Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical
Seminary, Elkhart, Indiana - Pray for high school students who are considering testing
