A Personal Word From Merle Herr, Administrator

The formidable challenge of starting a new Anabaptist health sharing plan sparked my entrepreneurial spirit. If you, too, are "plagued" with the visionary gene, you’ll understand: it's the new, difficult, and inspiring that calls us forward. While the old and familiar can sometimes feel routine, I am eager to reapply leadership lessons learned across more than 30 years of business and non-profit ministry to this budding organization and its rather difficult mission.

For the previous two decades, my focus was on co-founding various non-profit organizations, including Anabaptist Financial, Anabaptist Foundation, Stewardship Education, Open Hands, and Anabaptist Savings and Loans International. Specifically, I served as the executive administrator of Anabaptist Financial for 12 years, followed by 8 years on the leadership team.

Upon retiring from that post at the end of 2023, I embarked on a much-needed, year-long sabbatical for rest and refreshment. Throughout that time, the question of "what's next?" persistently sought an answer. As expected, the Lord guides and directs all His children, and by the end of the sabbatical, the path became clear: my next venture in non-profit administration would be Anabaptist Brotherhood.

 

A Crucial Clarification

To avoid organizational confusion, please note that Anabaptist Brotherhood is not affiliated with or part of Anabaptist Financial in any way.
