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.

Monday

Lancaster to Salisbury

The first leg of my journey has taken me from my brother in law and sister's place in Lancaster to Salisbury, Pa. very close to the Maryland border. It is beautiful Applachian countryside with many well kept Amish & Mennonite farmsteads in the Casselman River Valley. I was a guest of the Mast family and they kindly gave me use of their cabin in the woods on their farm. It is a quiet spot with a panoramic view over the surrounding hills and valleys.



Sunday morning I attended two services including Oakdale Mennonite where I was able to share a bit about the work in Guinea Bissau.



Early tomorrow morning, Monday, I set out for the central W. Virginia town of Webster Spgs.



I will likely make another post from there.
