Mennonite Your Way

Mennonite Your Way is a Christians hospitality service created in 1976 by Mennonites. Guests are not required to be Christian. The service publishes a directory of 1,700 hosts[1] from 69 countries on every continent, but mainly in North America, who are willing to host people in their homes.[2]

The hosts of the service are Christians, mostly Mennonites and Brethren, often elderly couples. There are also some few Old Orders listed as hosts. The hosts tend to be concentrated in areas, where there are traditionally many Mennonites of Swiss and South-German ancestry. The largest concentration of hosts is in Pennsylvania. On other continents there are only a few hosts with the exception of Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The list of hosts is not online, it is only available as a booklet.[3]

To participate as guest one must buy the directory for 45 US$. Guests in the U.S. and Canada are expected to donate per night $10.00 per adult, $2.00 per child and if breakfast is offered, $2.00 per meal, unless otherwise noted in the hosts' listing.[4]
