Mennonite Church Guinea Bissau is part of a Mennonite mission presence in West Africa since 2000. The mission began first in Gambia and by 2005 the good news was being carried to Guinea Bissau by new believers from Gambia. Most of the work focuses on the Balanta people but other people groups are also part of the emerging church. The mission is sponsored by Eastern Mennonite Missions and seeks to establish an Anabaptist circle of churches in those two countries plus in the intervening territory of Senegal. Welcome to our blog page and thanks for your interest in learning more about bringing Christ to a part of Africa where the church is weak or non-existent.

In addition to Mesa Verde, in SW Colorado, we also visited the ruings in Chaco Canyon in NW New Mexico. Indian culture thrived there between 800- 1200 AD. These people built large settlements all over the region. Unfortunately they left no written records, so much of what we can know about them is conjecture. Southwest Indians of the region today, are descendent from the Chaco peoples. They have preserved some of the stories and folklore of their ancestors orally.
