New manager joins Kindred Productions

Mario Buscio has been named manager of Kindred Productions, the publishing and resource arm of the U.S. and Canadian Mennonite Brethren conferences. Buscio has worked in both the business and ministry sectors, most recently as co-pastor of Église Communautaire de la Rivière Rouge, Winnipeg, Man.

“Mario’s years of experience as an entrepreneur will help Kindred Productions move into the future as a self-funding ministry,” says Canadian conference director of communications, Cam Rowland. “He brings a strong passion for the local church, and a desire to serve the broader Mennonite Brethren body.”

Buscio studied at Institut Biblique Laval (now École de Théologie Évangélique de Montréal); Mennonite Brethren Bible College (now Canadian Mennonite University), Winnipeg; and Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary, Fresno, Cal.

Buscio and his wife, Sonia Blanchette, have three children, Ménoukia, Jonathan, and Mariano, and are also fostering four nieces and nephews, Alberto, Emily, Raphael, and Sabrina.
