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

My host couple in North Newton, Kansas, Lois and Marion Deckert. Fifty years ago Marion & Lois were our unit leaders when I was a Paxman in Morocco, North Africa. They are both retired from many years of service to Bethel College. Lois is still the vivacious cook she was way back then and I found Marion to be everything a retired academic should be- interesting, open minded and a stimulating conversationalist on nearly any subject. I had a great time with the Deckerts talking about old times in Morocco and sharing many common perspectives.
