Mennonite Church Guinea Bissau: 08.10

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.

This is the Google Earth photo of where I live in Catel, Guinea Bissau. The square roof building with the two smaller buildings in the center right is the Mennonite mission compound. The larger structure is the meeting place and it has 3 rooms where Andrew & I live.

Time for a little geography lesson. This is West Africa. At the top is Senegal, then Gambia and below that is Guinea Bissau. I was in Gambia 2000-05 and now since 2005 I have been in Guinea Bissau.
