En este mismo sentido, en Merienda Menonita, los/as anfitriones del programa compartirán historias y conversarán con invitados sobre cómo vivir el llamado cristiano en América Latina. Juntos/as exploran cómo seguir a Cristo en la vida cotidiana, y qué puede ofrecer el anabautismo a la iglesia latinoamericana de hoy.

Together, we will explore how to follow Christ in everyday life, and what does Anabaptism have to say to that Latin American church today.
