“I used to work at VMMissions and was asked to join the board after changing jobs. It seems like a great way to stay involved and continue to do the good work Jesus calls us to do!”

“I have been a long-time financial supporter of VMMissions and several of the mission workers, but I have not otherwise been directly involved in its work. I feel called to participate in Board leadership as a way to give more of my gifts to supporting an organization doing God’s good work in the world.”

“To assist this great organization with the continuing work of fulfilling the Great Commission and to use my gifts and talents in furtherance of that mission. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow in my faith and serve in another capacity.”

“I’ve dreamed of partaking in mission work from a young age and believe this is a great way to learn the behind the scenes while supporting current missionaries.”

“I believe the Great Commission Jesus gave is not a suggestion, but a commandment that still applies. I’ve served on Mennonite Mission Network, and it will be a privilege to serve locally.”

“[I have a] lifetime love of missions and the work that mission workers do, being the hands and feet of Jesus. I also care deeply about all issues related to refugees.”

“I have a passion for missions and I love this organization.”

“I would like to learn more about the ‘nuts & bolts’, decision making, administrative, planning, and executions of the Board.”

“I have been a long-time VMMissions supporter with interest in contributing in new ways, and I am family friends with multiple international workers.”

“I served as a co-missionary with Eastern Mennonite Missions from 1997 until 2008 in Hong Kong and Egypt, so missions has a special place in my heart. I am grateful for the opportunity to be connected with the mission board in this way.”

“I have admired VMMissions’ work and wanted to become more involved. Also, my wife and I have discussed the possibility of serving as missionaries later in retirement.”
