MCC Asia

Asia is a huge and diverse place, the largest continent on Earth by far in both population and land area.  Asia is home to many cultures, religions, and peoples, some as old as history itself and some as new as the latest developments in the technology industry.

For Mennonite Central Committee, Asia is both a challenging and rewarding place to both build new relationships and maintain connections with long-time partners in the course of our work.  MCC Asia's country programs vary from offices that are over 50 years old to agreements that have a short-term focus on distributing resources in response to wars and natural disasters.

Mennonite Central Committe's operating principles focus our work on caring for creation, challenging systemic injustice, encouraging mutual transformation as people meet, and building lasting bridges between communities around the world.  It is our hope that these principles will shape MCC's impact on the world into one of persistent love and enduring peace.

MCC's work in Asia is done largely through partnerships with local organizations and communities, including many Anabaptist/Mennonite groups.  The relationships MCC workers build are the backbone of MCC's work in humanitarian relief & disaster response, sutainable community development, and justice & peacebuilding.  We value face-to-face interaction as foundational for the genuine partnerships and honest cross-cultural communication needed for living out the ideals of Biblical nonviolence and social justice in our work.
