Top Comments of this video!! :3
I grew up a Mennonite and I am Nigerian. Yes I went to college and became a doctor, but I won’t trade my upbringing in the Mennonite faith for anything. It helped to equip me with principles that I still apply to my daily life. Thank you drew for this, when I saw the clip on IG I couldn’t help but come watch it here🎊🎊🍾🎉🎉🎉

I'm Catholic (our parish is tiny). The Mennonites are some of the best people you will ever meet. I'm in a wheelchair, and they have built me, not one, but TWO handicapped ramps. The first one was built when I still used a walker, 15 years ago. Last year, now that I use a wheelchair, they came back and built a new ramp that is not as steep. They did this for free!! I only had to buy the lumber. The ladies came to visit with me, while the men worked on the ramp. They brought food as well. One of the ladies has adopted two black inner city girls. They are amazing people who truly live their Christianity.

About 4 months ago I received an invite to a Thanksgiving singing from some mennonites and was then invited to the Lena mennonite church and I have to say it was the most beautiful religious experience I ever had!! I have only missed church once since then (going twice a week and a Bible study once a week. I've never felt closer to God than I do now! I encourage everyone to experience this like I have and the singing literally makes you feel closer to God!! Soooo beautiful. I would like to thank God for putting these people In my life!

I respect the Mennonites, they are admirable for staying devoted to their beliefs and values that they cherish. Some people interpret this as boring and a mundane lifestyle, when in reality, it is a gifted culture these people live in. Mennonites are not like the general public always flocking to buy the latest products or living their lives on social media or getting involved in many wrongful acts, but they cherish and desire a simple life. That is what most of us forget. Love from Trinidad 🇹🇹❤🇺🇸

When i moved from asia to the US and went to college in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, it was the first time i’ve known about the Mennonites and they are the kindest people. I went to their church and the pastor even invited me over to his house for thanksgiving since i had no family around. Miss the good times spent with them.

Thanks for visiting this community and sharing about their way of life and faith without making light of their beliefs. Our family is very religious (not Mennonite) and my kids really enjoy your content. It was nice to have someone showcase Christian beliefs and traditional values without mocking or speaking negatively. God bless and safe travels!

Just out of curiosity, have you ever heard of Mennonites before watching this video? I really enjoyed telling this story and this year, I plan to share more stories about the lesser known communities in the USA 🇺🇸
