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 near Kalispell, Montana- Jeryl & Mary Hollinger. Both are Lancaster County natives and have been in pastoral ministry at the MC here. Mary is also a nurse. They live on a forested acreage in the foothills of the Rockies. Here they do homestead-organic agriculture with a large garden, chickens and bees. They only borrow their turf from the abundant local wildlife including bear, deer, mtn. lions, skunks and several more.

I stayed with the Hollingers on a Hesston College Bel Canto tour, some years back! Such nice people.
