  Church planting centers in Ethiopia

  Meserete Kristos Church (MKC) in Ethiopia has been working towards fulfilling the Great Commission by sending missionaries to reach least reached people groups in Ethiopia and beyond. By God’s grace, they are seeing many new fellowships started! After the churches are planted, many of the groups are able to build their own worship center by mobilizing local resources. But in some remote areas, believers require outside help to help them procure the needed building materials, especially in areas where most of the first believers are women or youth.   

  You can partner with the MKC missionaries by contributing to this effort to establish church planting centers in unreached areas of Ethiopia.  For each $1000 contributed, MKC is able to help local churches complete a new building.

  Support Mennonite College of East Africa

  The Mennonite College of East Africa (MCEA) in Nyabange, Tanzania is a ministry of the Tanzania Mennonite Church (KMT). Started as a Bible school in 1936, for the past few decades it has operated as a theological college and the primary training institution for KMT leaders.  The certificate and diploma programs it offers are critical to KMT’s mission of developing leaders for a growing church. 

  Contributions are needed to help the college achieve various benchmarks for accreditation, including necessary infrastructure, textbooks, and travel costs of visiting professors. A gift toward the work of MTCEA is an investment in the future of the Tanzania church.

  Preschool in Guinea-Bissau

  Most children in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau do not have the opportunity to attend preschool. Regular public schooling starts at age 7, but tends to be inconsistent, with frequent teacher absences and school closings. School preparation is a significant need in order for children to be able to succeed in getting an education.

  In 2011, the Mennonite Church in Catel, a small town in Guinea-Bissau, decided to use their few resources to address this problem. They started one preschool class in the church building; over the past decade this has grown into a 3-classroom school with more than 60 students enrolled. Students come not only from Catel but from surrounding villages for the quality education and the kindness of the staff. Students are taught in Creole (the local language) and are introduced to Portuguese, the language of the public school. Most importantly, all the teachers are followers of Jesus. Bible stories and Christian teaching are an integral part of the curriculum.

  The preschool is a strategic way for the Mennonite Church to share Christ’s love with their animistic and Muslim neighbors. Up to 80 percent of the students who attend come from non-Christian families; the preschool experience is often their first introduction to the gospel.

  Each family pays tuition for their children to attend, but due to the economic constraints, these fees cover only a portion of the total cost to run the school. A donation of $100 will subsidize one student to attend the preschool for an entire year.
