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.

One of several hand-made threshing stones in the Newton area, this one in front of Bethel's administration building. The threshing stone was an invention brought over from Russia by Mennonite immigrants along with their hard Turkey Red wheat seed. The wheat sheaves were spread out on a clean, flat surface and this stone was rolled over the sheaves, pulled by a single horse. Treshing accomplished!
