Profile surveys world’s Anabaptists

Sociological surveys may be uncommon evangelistic tools, but Damien Pelende of the Democratic Republic of Congo found the Global Anabaptist Profile survey drew new people to his church.

The two-year project — a joint initiative of Mennonite World Conference and the Institute for the Study of Global Anabaptism at Go­shen (Ind.) College — profiled the demographics, beliefs and practices of 24 church conferences . . .
