Cacine - is reached by 200 km of sealed road, then 60 km of unsealed road, about five hours by private car and around eight hours by public transport.  Our work begun here with a primary Christian school and now includes a Christian secondary school.

Opportunities

WEC Guinea-Bissau has opportunitiies for short term workers - up to two years, and for long term workers - more than two years.  Come for a summer, a semester, a year, or, on a one way ticket!

Guinea-Bissau is a country divided by many rivers but being united by Christ.  Guinea-Bissau is one of the poorest countries in the world, with instability, diseases, and dozens of reasons to deter all but the most determined disciples of the Lord Jesus from serving Him here.

"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."
