About Benin

Mennonite mission workers first visited Benin in 1969.

During the next 20 years, mission workers made periodic teaching visits. In 1987 a group of African-Initiated Churches invited Mennonite Board of Missions to lay the groundwork for ministries in Bible training and health care.

This early work, beginning in 1989, has developed into a three-year systematic Bible training program, an interdenominational health center, and community health and development projects.
