Grace Mishler completes term of service in Vietnam.

Grace Mishler of Union Center Church of the Brethren, Nappanee, Ind., has completed a four-year term of service in Vietnam on Feb. 28. She was jointly sponsored by the General Board and Eastern Mennonite Missions. While serving in Ho Chi Minh City at National Vietnam University, she networked and empowered people with disabilities.

Mishler developed a course titled, "Social Awareness of Persons with Disabilities." She not only opened doors for those with disabilities to take a greater role in Vietnamese society, but also began a grassroots movement that has given people with disabilities an authentic voice, reported the board's Global Mission Partnerships Office.

After a period of settling back in to the US, Mishler will share her experiences in Vietnam with congregations and other groups. Contact Janis Pyle, coordinator for Mission Connections, at 800-323-8039 ext. 227.
