ORODARA, Burkina Faso, and KINSHASA, Dem. Rep. of Congo—Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission (AIMM) Partnership Councils held in Burkina Faso and Democratic Republic of Congo were planned to empower African churches and promote mutuality in mission.
These annual gatherings brought together mission representatives from Canada, France and the United States and national church leaders from Burkina Faso Sept. 19-20 in Orodara. Many of the same mission personnel traveled to Kinshasa Sept. 28-29 for similar meetings with leaders of the three Congolese Mennonite denominations. A three-year old Partnership Council structure moved decision-making to the African continent.—AIMM and Mennonite Mission Network
