A Labour of Love
Lao Translation of Anabaptist Essentials now available.

MCEC is pleased to announce the launch of the Lao translation of Palmer Becker’s book, Anabaptist Essentials. “This has been a labour of love!” said Norm Dyck, MCEC Mission Minister.

Through partnership with the Lao Mennonite Fellowship of Canada (which includes four MCEC congregations) and Mennonite Church Canada, MCEC printed 300 books for use in MCEC congregations, across North America and into Laos and Thailand. “We are very excited for this,” said Som Phanpha, lead translator. “This book will help Lao congregations and people understand what it means to be an Anabaptist and how important it is to follow Jesus in daily life.”

“I’ve watched your dedication. You have given your life to this for a couple of years,” said Palmer Becker. “God bless you as you send these books around the world.”
