The Message of Pentecost

After church on Sunday, someone asked me to share the full list of languages spoken in LMC Churches. Here it is — and it connects beautifully to what we talked about this past Sunday!

Today, LMC, a fellowship of Anabaptist churches worships in about 20 languages:

🌍 English • Spanish • Vietnamese • Garifuna • French • Karen • Mara • Amharic • Swahili • Laotian • Nepali • Creole • Navajo • ASL • Indonesian • Arabic • Anuak • Lingala • Kirundi • Portuguese

About one third of LMC churches worship in Spanish. What a gift!

This past Sunday, Pentecost Sunday, we were reminded that the Holy Spirit creates a church that crosses cultures and carries the gospel to the world.

In Acts 2, people from many nations heard the good news of Jesus in their own languages. The Holy Spirit didn't erase those differences — He spoke through them. Every person heard about Jesus in their own heart language. That was the miracle. Not just sound, but understanding. And the message of Pentecost is clear: the gospel is for every person, every nation, every culture, every language.

That truth connects deeply with our own story.

More than 260 years ago, in 1761, Habecker Mennonite Church began as a gathering place for Swiss immigrant Anabaptist families who came speaking a Swiss German dialect, what would eventually become known as Pennsylvania Dutch.

Today, God is still writing new chapters in that story. Our congregation now worships in Karen and English, and we are blessed to include members who come from different countries.

In a world often divided by fear, politics, language, and culture, the church is called to look different, to be a place where people from different backgrounds worship together, pray together, eat together, and serve together in the name of Jesus.

We thank God for the many cultures, languages, and people that make up His Kingdom. Different cultures, languages, and traditions are not a weakness — they are a gift. The friendships we share with people from different places and backgrounds enrich our lives and our church family. May the Holy Spirit continue to help us build bridges, welcome others, and carry the good news of Jesus — across the street and around the world.

"After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne." ~Revelation 7:9
