| Window to the World tells the stories of people whose
lives were positively transformed by the witness of General Conference
Mennonite Church (GCMC) missionaries.
Compiled and written by Tina
Block Ediger, Window to the World contains over 200 black and
white photographs, plus a 16-page center section of color photographs.
Ediger, a staff person with the GCMC Commission on Overseas Mission for
26 years, says the book shows how much people's lives can change when
they meet God. "It's about God at work in the lives of people, and
people opening up their lives to God. I hope readers will see that
their lives, too have value, and that they will be encouraged to tell
their own stories and pass on their faith to others."

| Here is a resource for Mennonites who wish to reach "beyond the
Mennonite comfort zone." The Mennonite church is undergoing historic
transitions: New denominational structures, a new vision, a new focus,
and a new spirit of mission-mindedness-or as Mennonites now put it,
being missional. These exciting changes require rethinking of
relationships with each other and with people beyond Mennonite
congregations, as Mennonites seek to fulfill the great commission of
linking the message of the gospel with needs of surrounding
communities. | |

Africa
| For Wayne and Ruth Ann Stelfox, the war-torn city of Monrovia,
Liberia, was a drastic change from rural Alberta, Canada,. But they
and their five children accepted t he challenge of a tow-year mission
assignment in West Africa-and found themselves immersed in a world of
starving children, extreme poverty, disease, human sacrifice,
witchcraft, and violence. In t he midst of this darkness, they
found joy, love, lasting friendships, and hearts open to the light of
God's love. They saw beauty in t he scarred landscape around them, and
the tears of heaven in the torrential African rains. As they worked to
help change the lives of those around them, their own lives were
changed, and the miracles they witnessed increased their awe of the God
they had gone to Africa to serve. Copyright Christian Aid

| The story of the Meserete Kristos Church (MKC) in Ethiopia will
hold a special niche in the annals of Mennonite history. In many ways,
it repeats on the African continent the Anabaptist experience of the
16th century in Europe the emergence of a free church in a state-church
society. Beyond Our Prayers tells two stories: (1) the
outreach of Lancaster Mennonite Conference into Ethiopia beginning in
1948 when the government of Ethiopia granted mission status to Eastern
Mennonite Board of Missions, Salunga, Pennsylvania and (2) how the MKC
developed out of those mission efforts. | |
