WHAT is Missão Vida?
Missão Vida is the first mission sending agency in of the Evangelical Church of Guinea-Bissau.

WHERE is Missão Vida? 
Missão Vida is based in Bissau, which is the capital city of the West African country of
 Guinea-Bissau.  Missão Vida’s principle target is West Africa.

WHO is Missão Vida?
Missão Vida was initially the missions department of The Central Church of the Evangelical Church of Guinea-Bissau, but has since expanded its vision to create a sending agency where any church in Bissau can send missionaries through them.  Currently there are over 20 nationals serving as missionaries with them and 8 foreign missionaries partnering with Missão Vida.

WHY Missão Vida?
West Africa is one of the most neglected regions of the worlds with regards to missions and church planters.  Guinea-Bissau is one of the few countries in the region that is not under an Islamic government.  Mauritania, The Gambia, Senegal, Guinea, and Mali are all waiting to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We can not continue to wait on the “the West”, Guineans are ready to take the Gospel to their people and the surrounding nations.

WHEN will Missão Vida start?
Even though Missão Vida is in the “infant stage” as organization it has been sending missionaries out since 2002.  At the beginning of 2007, the leadership of The Central Church has made it a priority to develop the structure of the organization so as to increase its sending potential.

HOW will Missão Vida function?
Since Guinea-Bissau is one of the 5 poorest nations in the world it is very difficult for the national churches to financially sustain missionaries.  The vision of Missão Vida is to train up missionaries that can not only plant churches but can also work to sustain themselves financially in the community where they are ministering.  As the Apostle Paul made tents, so will this organization seek to train its missionaries in skills that can feed and provide for their family.  Missão Vida will not only train and send out missionaries, but it will be there to give pastoral care and accountability to the missionaries.
