Outreach

God blesses us to make us a blessing. So we look for ways to bless others in our local community and around the world. Where and how is God calling you to reach out?

Eastern Mennonite Missions
EMM, the mission agency of our network of congregations, provides training and support for around 150 workers in over 35 countries. If you are sensing a call to go and make disciples beyond our local area, you will find that there are many opportunities for businesspersons, children at risk workers, church developers, health professionals, teachers, and others to extend God’s kingdom around the world.

Donegal Power Packs Project
This project provides weekend food and nutritional education to eligible families every week during the school year so that children return to school well fed and ready to learn on Monday mornings. Learn more from the Donegal Power Packs Brochure or on Facebook. 

Love, INC of Lancaster County
INC stands for “In the Name of Christ.” This ministry runs a clearinghouse that helps local churches work together to show God’s love to the poor. A person with a need (transportation to a doctor appointment or help with grocery shopping) is matched with a Christian volunteer who can fill the need.

Contact Love, INC at 717-735-7540.

Mentor program of Donegal School District
This program welcomes any responsible adult who is willing to share 30 minutes once a week with a student to show him or her that someone cares. The school district estimates that 10-15% of their students would benefit from mentoring but only about 2% have mentors.

Contact the school district at 717-653-1447 and ask to be transferred to the director of the mentoring program.
