Willard Metzger was a pastor for 20 years, spent 5 years working with World Vision Canada, and tells us he is prepared for his new role as the General Secretary for Mennonite Church Canada. Metzger was appointed to the position this past spring, and has been getting to know people from the church all across Canada. He says his past has had a major influence on his current role.



Metzger is based in Manitoba but has invested time getting to know the people of Mennonite Church Canada over the past months. He has been developing some priorities for the future, and tells us what he would like to see.



He notes after visiting with some of the 33 thousand people from the 230 Canadian Mennonite Churches he sees an opportunity for the anabaptist voice like there has never been before.
