<p><b>New page</b></p><div> Most Western Christians are accustomed to dividing world Christianity into three branches, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant. It would now appear, however, with the recent rise and rapid growth of religious movements in [[Africa|Africa]], the Pacific, and the Americas, that identifiable new forms of the Christian tradition are taking shape. A 1984 survey indicates that in Africa alone nearly 7,000 distinct indigenous denominations have come to life in 43 countries. All together they claim 71,000 places of worship and a total membership approaching 28 million, with more than 800,000 new members joining each year.<br />
<br />
These movements—in many ways the "stepchildren" of the modern missionary era—are almost entirely local and indigenously African in polity, program, leadership, and finance. There exists among them a wide spectrum of religious understanding, ranging from neotraditional (African traditional) movements to christocentric, biblically-oriented independent churches.<br />
<br />
American Mennonites have since 1959 responded to calls from a variety of these churches requesting recognition, fraternal relationships, and opportunities for Bible study and leadership training. The [[Mennonite Board of Missions (Mennonite Church)|Mennonite Board of Missions]], (now Mennonite Mission Network), beginning with the pioneer efforts of Edwin and Irene Weaver, has worked primarily in West African settings ([[Nigeria|Nigeria]], [[Ghana|Ghana]], [[Côte d'Ivoire|Côte d 'Ivoire]] [Ivory Coast], Liberia, and Benin). [[Mennonite Central Committee (International)|Mennonite Central Committee]], the Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission, and [[Eastern Mennonite Missions (Lancaster Mennonite Conference)|Eastern Mennonite Missions]] have variously carried on both separate and combined ministries with churches in Central and Southern Africa (Zaire, [[Botswana|Botswana]], [[Lesotho, Kingdom of|Lesotho]], Swaziland, and Transkei).<br />
<br />
Equipping leaders through biblical instruction has been the major Mennonite thrust in most of these ministries. Teaching patterns, determined by local needs and context, have varied greatly, ranging from the more formal seminary and training-center approach to itinerant village-based [[Theological Education by Extension|theological education by extension]] (TEE). Retreat days, weekend outings, and week-long seminars have been particularly popular in many settings.<br />
<br />
Other significant Mennonite ministries have included medical and educational work, agricultural and water development, translation projects, sewing classes, [[Literacy (Campaigns)|literacy]] programs, literature development and distribution, the compilation of liturgical materials (hymnbooks, catechisms, etc.), and the collection of documentation and resources for use by churches being served.<br />
<br />
Independent churches in increasing numbers express the desire to be a part of the larger world Christian fellowship. Yet many remain suspicious of outside overtures, fearing loss of identity or even takeover. It has been important in Mennonite initiatives to abandon all empire-building intentions, to respect and serve local structures, and to develop models of ministry based on mutual sharing, where the teacher becomes the learner and the learner becomes the teacher.<br />
