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.

As I approached the southwest toes of Kentucky I could see a very tall obleisk in the distance. As I approached the village of Fairview, Kentucky I learned that this is the birthplace of Jefferson Davis, the first, last and only president of the Confederated States of America. It is quite a tribute to a man who is generally regarded as a rascal, a racist and a rebel. The monument stands 350 ft. The area is also home to a settlement of Team Mennonites.
