Yep. There are some that live here. You see them in the stores. They shop at Walmart too. Tommy is from Ohio and used to the Amish so he was surprised to see the Mennonites out at the stores and restaurants here but we are used to it. I grew up Southern Baptist (my Dad was a Preacher) and we weren't allowed to wear pants or listen to secular music (think Duggars). When we flooded during hurricane Harvey, the Red Cross or FEMA were nowhere to be seen but the Mennonites showed up with plates of food and helped people clean up their flooded homes. Good people.

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.

Christianity is not a “religion”. It’s a relationship with Jesus Christ, God’s son.

Between the craftsmanship in their home, the meticulous canning, ornate quilts, and extensive livestock I am completely awed by their self-sufficiency and work ethic. What a beautiful group of people.

It's intriguing to me, as a Dutch just like Menno Simons used to be, that these stems of religion dating back to the 16th century are still in place today, with no following back in the homeland. I notice a lot of shared values of how my father used to grow up back in the 60's in rural Eastern Netherlands: large families, being self-sufficient, belief, hard working, making the best of the land and a sense of down-to-earthness and being welcome. It seems like these communities across the world preserved, in a way, what farmer life in the Netherlands used to be like back in the day.

God bless Ps: maybe it's the large family dynamic 🤔

Please don't draw similarities when there are none!! These Mennonites have not spread carnage around the world! You don't see refugees desperately trying to escape their countries and filling up Europe! It is insulting to them!! They are Christians! They don't claim to be peaceful, they ARE peaceful. Always, living in their own reality just like they are the 'peaceful' community...Yeah right!! No place in the world is safe.....

Drew you earned a new subscriber from kenya

This is a great introductory video to anabaptist religions. You make some very broad generalizations, however, with some of your facts. Rules in Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite (and any smaller break away groups) communities are going to vary, sometimes greatly, from community to community. It was a very great video of this particular group, though, great job. ❤

Blessing and grace to you all

Great video! Maybe you could do a video on a Native American tribe? That would be super interesting too

This is so nostalgic and adorable to see a community like this! 🥰💙

Wow this such a great vlog! We can all take something from this great community ❤

I live in rural pa and we have the most fabulous Mennonite market that opened up. Very happy for the family

When I lived in Southern Missouri you ALWAYS took your shoes off inside your home or someone else's home. I never encountered any Mennonites, but they seem like decent and good hearted people to be around. Thanks for the video!

I’ve lived in SW Missouri never did see any, but if you go further south into Arkansas there’s a big community of Mennonites.

Drew, fantastic video. I had indeed heard of them before and I have also seen them where I live (Canada). They are such humble people, I have nothing but admiration for the way they live and raise their children. Another awesome youtuber/travel documentarian is Peter Santenello who has done an extensive series on Mennonites/Beachy Amish and other Amish sects such as the Schwarzentruber. Go check out his work, I highly recommend his channel. I love your channel though Drew, you are a rare gem of a person. You seem like someone who won't take things for granted.

Thank you so much! I love Peter !

This was a wonderful video. Thank you.

Just excellent, Drew. As usual, I learned so much.

I've watched multiple videos about Mennonites and Amish in the past, but it's still interesting to me and I wanna see more. The simplicity of their lifestyle is pretty attractive for the modern people whose lifestyles are so hectic and busy and you always want do go-go-go. And the nature is so beautiful up there! Fall is my favorite season, so seeing the colorful trees and the sunlight was such a treat for the eyes 😂❤️

What a lovely life style doubt i could live it but how wholesome❤

This was great Drew! What a cool look into their community.

❤ I am always interested in different ways of life. Great job Drew❤❤

Some things seem a little extreme but all around seems like a good wholesome life.

My Spanish teacher has played one of your videos for the class once! Love your videos Drew!

I live by them. We all just like a calm, relaxed, simple life.

Mennonites are genuinely great people. Always ready to help and are super kind. ❤

As much as i love traveling outside of the country it’s always nice to explore more parts of the US. It really is a gorgeous and diverse country

Great video! Yes, I have heard of them. I rode a bike century once out of Harrisonburg, VA, where there is a large community of Mennonites. During the last 10 miles we rode through farms where they only use horses and buggies, much like the Amish. There is actually a pretty wide disparity on amount of technology different enclaves will use. Even in Harrisonburg they range from horse and buggie and no electricity (much like the Amish) to cars, tractors and electricity. My understanding is they still won't drive flashy cars, so think black pickup truck or minivan as opposed to red Corvette. They were all incredibly friendly and said hi and waved as we went through. And those farms were just immaculately clean! Also, I think there are quite different beliefs on college education among different communities. Eastern Mennonite University is located in Harrisonburg. Back in the 1980's, my mother had a good friend she worked with who was an RN and her family were practicing Mennonites. I also once met a woman who was a physician and a practicing Mennonite. I'm pretty sure all true Mennonites might reject more "worldly" higher degrees, but I think professions geared towards helping others like medicine are generally O.K. Also, you may not follow cycling, and this may bring up a bad example, but former pro cyclist Floyd Landis grew up Mennonite (the guy who won the 2006 Tour and was disqualified for doping). I think like the Amish, some of them have a Rumspring as an adult (basically living out in the world) and then decide whether the faith is for them and either return or don't. He was one of the ones that didn't. But apparently, you are still accepted by your family if you follow those rules even if you choose to leave the faith. It's the ones who decide to live the life and later change their minds, or don't walk the walk that get in outs with the community or their families. I find all of the different German Baptist sects captivating (Amish, Mennonite, Quakers, etc.), and have a deep respect for their high standards and conviction. I'll watch with great interest all the videos you wish to do on any of them!

Amazing video drew ! Thank you so much 😊😊😊😊

They seemed like the kindess peoplr you could ever meet. What a blessing for them to welcome you in

Thank you for these type of videos where you show different cultures and religions. This type of content is like a education in entertaining way, broadens our views.

My grandpa lives in Central Ohio and lives near a lot of Amish and Mennonites. Every time I head out there I’m guaranteed to see at least one horse and buggy. I haven’t seen a lot of Amish Churches but I’ve seen a lot of Mennonite Churches. It’s definitely a unique experience to see their lifestyle in person.

The Amish don't have churches, they gather for their services in each others homes.

Amish do at home services that’s why you don’t see Amish churches

I never heard of Mennonites prior to this video. This is awesome, so much to learn from them.

The irony is that in these days we find so many TV shows and KZreadrs showing us how to “live off the grid”. 😂 It’s definitely something many of us yearn for. Great video!

Great video. I have great respect for these communities, live and let live. I'd like to point out though that these people are driving cars and have electricity, so not exactly living in the 1800's.

The problem is that they don’t often have a live and let live mentality when it comes to those that leave their community. Shunning is encouraged and very common

I’m orthodox Christian from Eritrea and we also get separated when we are in church..Men on one side and women in the other side just like on this video

Wow I really appreciated that video, what a beautiful place and people. Heaven is right there.
