MISSIONARIES

Zion supports several international ministries through prayer and financial contributions.

    • Matthew & Toni Krabill in Accra, Ghana (Mennonite Mission Network). Matthew and Toni  support theological institutions throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Matthew serves with The Sanneh Institute supporting religious scholars, leaders and academic institutions working for the transformation of African society, particularly in the area of Christian-Muslim relations and peace building in West Africa. Supervising research projects and publications, developing educational workshops, and consultations with students, faculty, and theological institutions, both Christian and Muslim, are part of his work. Matthew and Tony also support the Center for Justice and Peace at the Université de l’Allianz Chrétienne d’Abidjan in Ivory Coast and its online Masters in Conflict Transformation. This degree program trains pastors, missionaries, and lay leaders to be Christian peacebuilders who work for transformation in their communities.
    • Jayson & Julie Casper in Beirut, Lebanon (IDEAS). Jayson and Julie Casper have lived in the Arab World since 1998, where they seek to demonstrate God’s love, represent his gospel, and extend his kingdom in this long-term ministry. Jayson is a Middle East Correspondent for Christianity Today. In his work as a Christian journalist, Jayson seeks to faithfully report the interplay of religion, politics, and culture, while representing the perspectives of Middle East Christians, Muslims, liberals, and Islamists, in all their variety. The Caspers help us remember we all can be a Christian presence of love and reconciliation in our neighborhoods, communities and workplaces.
