Introducing Denise Reesor

Opening paragraph
After a Spirit-led search for the next Program Director for Anabaptist Disabilities Network, I am pleased and excited to announce that Denise Reesor of Goshen, Indiana, is joining us in the work of supporting Anabaptist congregations, families and persons touched by disabilities to nurture inclusive communities of faith​.​

Page Content

Denise comes on board October 3 as the next Program Director for Anabaptist Disabilities Network. She has a heart for extending welcome to those on the margins and is on a personal journey to understand, cherish, and grow alongside the adults in her family who have disabilities. Denise draws strength from honest conversations and communities that recognize that each person has gifts to share and needs to be filled. She approaches her work with a desire to learn and be shaped by others’ experiences in the joyful yet challenging journey of living in diverse communities.

Denise has had many homes. She grew up in Southern Ontario, Canada, and spent the past three years in Cambodia with Mennonite Central Committee. She now calls Goshen, Indiana, home where her husband Tony Janzen grew up and has family.

A former middle school science teacher, Denise recently entered graduate school to become a school psychologist. The graduate program focuses around the learning, emotional, and behavioral needs of students and designing interventions to help them succeed in school. She hopes these studies will complement the work with ADN. Denise also works part-time as an administrative assistant at Eighth Street Mennonite Church in Goshen.

Denise enjoys spending time with her husband and friends, being outdoors, bicycling, and running. She attends East Goshen Mennonite Church and appreciates the community she has found there.

Christine Guth, outgoing Program Director, will work side by side with Denise for about six weeks as she learns about her new role. Christine will conclude her work with ADN in mid-November. Look for Denise’s contributions to the website, blog, and newsletter in the months to come.




Kathy Nofziger Yeakey is Executive Director for Anabaptist Disabilities Network.
