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.

Traveling Thoughts


As I go scootering across the country my mind and eyes are mostly focused on the highway the next 100 yards ahead of me. While it is vitally important to be doing that, at another level I have time to contemplate and ruminate about life in general. More specifically my thoughts go in the direction of my vocation as a missionary and where my heart is- West Africa.
So, from time to time you are going to find these ruminations on my blog in this format. I invite your comments and perspectives on these insertions (and anything else you see on the blog).
On this trip I am doing a study of Mark's gospel. Accompanying that study I have the Mark volume of Believer's Church Bible Commentary by Tim Gaddert. It is truly an inspiring book. I appreciate Gaddert's many helpful insights and some of my themes in these columns grow out of his comments.
Thanks, Beryl F.
