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.

My host couple in Webster Springs, W. Va. Albert & Bettie Clay. Albert was a high school teacher, Bettie an RN. They are both retired yet still very involved in all sorts of community activities. They have four children, all away from home now. The next pictures are from their homestead far up a holler in the woods.
