Former NFL player at the center of feeding others

HARRISONBURG, Va. — When former star NFL center Jason Brown left the St. Louis Rams in 2012 to become a farmer in North Carolina, he admittedly had no idea what he was doing.

“I don’t know anything about farming,” Brown said, during the “Frontier Luncheon” in late May at Eastern Mennonite University’s Summer Peacebuilding Institute. “I watched Youtube videos.”

He hasn’t let this knowledge deficit stop him from seeking a life of service, however.

Brown started First Fruits Farm in Louisburg, N.C., in 2013 after deciding to leave behind a successful NFL career.

Despite own trauma, Nepalis help others after quakes

Binay Church Council, a group of Nepali Anabaptist fellowships, is reaching out to communities affected by the April and May earthquakes in Nepal with a goal of assisting 2,000 families.

“Our discussions lead us to believe that the current ‘crisis’ within Mennonite Church USA is, in fact, an opportunity,” it states.

It calls Lancaster Conference “to practice unity in diversity in a way . . .

Step of faith leads to ministry of accompaniment

Anton Flores-Maisonet left his tenure-track faculty position at LaGrange (Ga.) College in 2008 for a risk-taking venture of faith that would lead him, his wife, Charlotte, and their family into a life of solidarity with immigrants from Latin America in LaGrange.

Not quite knowing what would come next, he co-founded the Alterna Community, a bilingual Anabaptist community of U.S. citizens and newcomers from Latin America that incorporates cooperative housing and covenanted Christian fellowship.
