Women Walking in Faith - September 2019 - Finding spiritual fruits in Mennonite Orchards

Ly Vang, a Hmong refugee, arrived in Canada from Laos in 1980.  "We didn’t know anything about the Mennonite people but, when we attended church services, we experienced love and comfort and felt warmly welcomed."

When I was growing up on a farm in Laos, we planted our own fruits, and my parents always said, “Whenever you eat fruit that tastes good, save the seed so you can plant it. That way you will have more delicious fruit!”

Note from Canadian Mennonite:

After making its debut on Nov. 12, 2007, this is our final “Women walking together in faith” column. CM thanks the many women who authored columns over the years, and also Leona Dueck Penner, who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes shepherding the work along over the past 12 years.
