Introducing Will Loewen

Will Loewen

I’d like to wel­come Will Loewen as a con­tribut­ing author to this blog. Here’s how he described himself:

William Loewen has at dif­fer­ent times been a play­wright, a pas­tor, and a pon­tif­i­cater. A his­tory com­mit­tee he was in decided that a play would be the best way to tell their story and he was cho­sen as the writer, mostly because he had the most free time.  He got the idea to write the sec­ond play, this time a musi­cal, when he real­ized it would allow him to spend more time with a cer­tain young lady. He also enjoys writ­ing skits for church pro­grams and wor­ship ser­vices. He served for three years in youth min­istry in Tavi­s­tock, Ontario.

One of the things he enjoyed the most about that job, besides the overnight pizza par­ties and early morn­ing donut mak­ing ses­sions, was the reg­u­lar chal­lenge of preach­ing ser­mons that pleased seniors, inspired par­ents and didn’t put teenagers to sleep.

He is cur­rently work­ing in South Korea as a Mis­sion Part­ner­ship Worker with Men­non­ite Church Canada Wit­ness and Jesus Vil­lage Church, serv­ing in an edu­ca­tion and resource devel­op­ment role.

He and his wife (the afore­men­tioned young lady) are eagerly antic­i­pat­ing the arrival of their first child lit­er­ally any day.

Wel­come Will! I look for­ward to your con­tri­bu­tions here.
