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

In Henderson, Neb. I was guest of the Ron Goertzen family. Their daugher, Janine had served with a YES team in Guinea Bissau three years ago. Ron, like me, is a veteran of PAX service in Africa. In comparing notes we found much in common about our lifelong passion for Africa. Ron, the operator of a large farm near Henderson here is making repairs to a corn dryer in preparation for the upcoming harvest.
