A year has passed since the global Anabaptist-Mennonite family gathered to Follow Jesus across barriers at Assembly 17: in person in Indonesia and online through livestreamed plenaries and Zoom workshops. But "the memories are still fresh and it feels like yesterday," says Reynaldo Mercado Jr., an attendee from the Philippines. The plenary livestreams and many of the workshops can be watched on MWC's YouTube channel.
