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

This is my host family in Bloomfield, Mo. - Howard and Catherine Miller are shown here with four of their five children. Marlene (middle, front row) just returned from a short term of service in Kenya. She was happy to compare notes with another Africa missionary. Howard and his sons operate a lawn care service in their community. While there I had the oppportunity of attending a service at their church.
