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.

Saturday

Children from the colony attend only 8 years of school. Two hours per day is spent here in the German classroom where they learn Hutterite history, Bible, and the German language. This part of the school day is taught by a Hutterite teacher. The next post shows the English classroom where the students attend from 9-3 pm. Here they have typical elementary classes taught by an 'outsider'.
