”Kindred Productions is a ministry of the Mennonite Brethren Churches of North America. We publish and distribute religious books that challenge and assist the reader on their journey of being and becoming the beloved of God.” 

Interview with Director Mario Buscio
Kindred Productions is the publishing arm of both the Canadian and U.S. Mennonite Brethren Church Conferences. We are here to provide you, our churches and members, with Anabaptist/Mennonite Brethren resources that are relevant to your reality as Christians in the 21st century. As our motto states, “Resourcing people for Christ-like living and ministry.”

My goal in directing Kindred Productions is to partner with our Mennonite Brethren churches and members in helping emerging leaders and churches by redirecting your present book-buying patterns from our competitors to Kindred Productions. As a non-profit organization, Kindred Productions cannot make a profit. So we have launched the Kindred Spirit Rewards Program as an opportunity to help develop leaders and congregations by redistributing monies we earn to various ministries. Unlike a for-profit business that gives back to the owners/shareholders only, we at Kindred Productions can disburse the excess of what we earn to ministries you care about.

My goal as the new Kindred Productions director is to serve the more than 68,767 church members and 446 Mennonite Brethren churches we have in Canada and the U.S. I trust that this sentiment, along with enhanced customer service, upgraded web-ordering services, competitive pricing and our corporate social responsibility of sending books to developing leaders in mission fields that are changing their communities, will be a powerful combination.

From day one, I have been committed to seeing Kindred Productions create a consistently top-notch book buying experience that fosters high levels of satisfaction among our customers so that they not only get the books they want, but also know that they are making a difference in the life of another person in the world.

Kindred Spirit Rewards Program
We chose Kindred Spirits as the name of the rewards program because we want to have “kindred spirits” and work together on this. Whatever Christian books you need—inspirational, theological, textbooks for students, curriculum for Sunday school or Bible study guides, whether published by us or other publishers—can be ordered through Kindred Productions.
When you order through Kindred Productions, your book purchase will directly contribute to a ministry that you have chosen to support. Customers can decide where their book purchase percentage is to be applied to—their home church, a church plant or MBMS International, for example. A list of the ministries that you can direct your percentage to is on the Kindred Spirits Reward Program list at www.kindredproductions.com.

Our online store will contribute a percentage of each sale back to the account of a church or missions agency of the customers’ choice. This amount will be applicable for future purchases by the church or mission agency. The site will automatically email the church or mission agency to tell them that someone has made a contribution to their organization through the purchase of a book.
