"The story of God's work in Africa did not begin with the arrival of the missionaries, but rather-from the African perspective-their arrival continued, reinterpreted, and reshaped an ancient story," begins this honest collection. Themes of the churches claiming their particular expressions of faith, of achieving self-reliance, of coping with difficult governments, of discovering their gifts despite their material poverty, thread through the book.

Frequent wars during the past 480 years strained these Mennonite churches immeasurable, especially when their governments battled each other. This volume recounts those tortuous and formative experiences.

Seldom have the distinguishing features of the Dutch, French, the German, the Swiss, the Russian-and more recently, the UK and the Spanish-Mennonite churches been examined. These churches' cultural and historical differences are significantly unique, and they are a key part of the history told in these chapters by European Mennonite historians and church leaders. The Umsiedler, with their sheer numbers and religious vigor, are a current force included in this ongoing story.
