Interns complete summer assignments with MBM

ELKHART, Ind. (MBM) - Two recent graduates of Goshen (Ind.) College have
been 
using their skills in writing and fund raising to serve Mennonite Board of
Missions at 
the Elkhart, Ind., office this summer.

Anne Gerber, intern with partnership and development services, and Anne
Horst, 
communications intern, both joined MBM staff after graduation in May.

A native of Elkhart, Gerber has traveled around Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
to secure
 financial and prayer support for MBM's Great Lakes Discipleship Center.
The two-
year-old center in Fort Wayne, Ind., is a training location for RAD
(Reaching and 
Discipling), a > discipleship training and outreach program for young
adults.

"I really enjoy working for a program with a focus on youth and the future
of the 
church," Gerber said.  "This was also a great opportunity to see different
areas of 
the Great Lakes and meet with many wonderful people.  I have come to
appreciate
 the work of MBM, its mission workers and the Mennonite Church."

In addition to speaking with more than 50 congregations and pastors, Gerber 
developed a strategy for raising GLDC support, worked on a web site and
wrote 
promotional materials for the center.

Horst, of Goshen, spent the summer writing news releases and mission worker 
profiles for North American churches.  After completing majors in Bible and
religion 
and interdisciplinary studies, she appreciated the experience at MBM.  

"This summer has taught me a lot about what is important to me, about
overseas 
workers, and about the transformation of the Mennonite Church," she said.
"I'm 
glad to work for an organization that I can support."

Horst worships with Assembly Mennonite Church and College Mennonite Church
 in Goshen.  Gerber is a member of Southside Fellowship in Elkhart and holds
a 
bachelor's degree in social work.  

Mennonite Board of Missions extends the whole gospel to a broken world by
building 
holistic communities of faith in 46 countries.
