* We join in honoring the life, vision, and legacy of Martin Luther King, who boldly and persistently worked for justice while confronting the three evils of society: racism, poverty, and militarism. His legacy invites ongoing non-violent responses to pervasive oppression and injustice in our world today. Centered on Jesus and Guided by the Spirit, we join the call to “Let justice roll down like waters.”

* Randy Miller, member of Walnut Hill Mennonite Church, recently began serving as a fundraising volunteer for IMMC. We’re grateful for the connections he is making with donors and potential donors as we continue to grow our individual donor base.

* Jerry and Ruth Ann Wittrig, long-time members of North Goshen Mennonite Church, were honored with the 2025 Everence Journey Award in recognition of their lifelong dedication to serving others through acts of compassion and community building. Jerry served as a pastor at North Goshen for more than 20 years (1993-2014). Read more here
