These Americans Are Stuck in the 1800s (Not Amish)

Just out of curiosity, have you ever heard of Mennonites before watching this video? I really enjoyed telling this story and this year, I plan to share more stories about the lesser known communities in the USA 🇺🇸

This is honestly better than living on my freaking phone all day. Good for them, i wish them the best.

They aren’t “stuck” in the 1800’s. They live in the modern world according to their principles and beliefs.

I grew up a Mennonite and I am Nigerian. Yes I went to college and became a doctor, but I won’t trade my upbringing in the Mennonite faith for anything. It helped to equip me with principles that I still apply to my daily life. Thank you drew for this, when I saw the clip on IG I couldn’t help but come watch it here🎊🎊🍾🎉🎉🎉

About 4 months ago I received an invite to a Thanksgiving singing from some mennonites and was then invited to the Lena mennonite church and I have to say it was the most beautiful religious experience I ever had!! I have only missed church once since then (going twice a week and a Bible study once a week. I've never felt closer to God than I do now! I encourage everyone to experience this like I have and the singing literally makes you feel closer to God!! Soooo beautiful. I would like to thank God for putting these people In my life!

Where I live in Canada, I'm surrounded by Mennonites. They are the kindest and hardworking people I've ever met. I'm in Hvac and everytime I'm in a Mennonite house for work they always invite me to stay for dinner.

As an Orthodox Christian I find their community very interesting. The people seem so kind. I can see how someone would find fulfillment and comfort in their lifestyle. Love this video!

Thanks for visiting this community and sharing about their way of life and faith without making light of their beliefs. Our family is very religious (not Mennonite) and my kids really enjoy your content. It was nice to have someone showcase Christian beliefs and traditional values without mocking or speaking negatively. God bless and safe travels!

Wow....great insight. These people are quite principled and genuinely nice. Bless their hearts and thank you for showing this.

They're not trapped, they the ones who escaped.

I grew up in a Mennonite community with connections to this community and recognized some folks. I'm very surprised they allowed you to film inside their church.

That family who hosted you, sing very beautifully. ❤

I love this ,so peaceful

They seem like very deciplinced and humble people with good morals and values. Much respect. Ty for showing us this and keep up the great videos!

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.

I do love your travels bro... But that was one of my best the way you recorded it on video you really respected their privacy... great job.

Thank you so much Drew for doing this story!

This is not just a travel channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰👍

This was a wonderful video. Thank you.

This is how I grew up, i am 56 now. The internet and cell phones effed us up !
