“St. Jacobs Mennonite Church, along with Wanner and Poole Mennonite
congregations, welcomed our MC Canada Witness partners from Benin Bible
Institute, West Africa, for a two-week visit this past October. This has
been a relationship spanning over 20 years, in which we have developed a
rich pattern of visiting each other, sharing prayer requests and
updates on our respective ministries and learning from each other’s
cultural and religious perspectives. We alternate visits on a yearly
basis and this October welcomed BBI administrator Bonaventure Akowanou,
his wife Clarisse, an educator, and BBI board chair Germain Dossou.
Their visit provided opportunity for participation in our worship
services, shared meals and rich conversations in congregants’ homes,
visiting Mennonite organizations and hearing about the ongoing work and
ministry of BBI.” (Sue Shantz, St. Jacobs Mennonite Church)
