We Love Mozambique

I, (Daniel Martin) felt the call of God when I was 12 years old, while reading Isaias 61. I identified myself with the ministry of Jesus, described in this passage. Only God can work out this type of transformation in people and societies. I would like God to use me and many others to continue His ministry among us. John 3:16 shows that God’s love for us made him give generously His only son for the salvation of human kind. The same way we should be willing to give our best to others to continue Jesus’ legacy.

    My wife Hannelore, and I were involved in mission work in Argentina and we were convinced that the Lord was calling us to become missionaries. In 1998 we started studies at “Seminario Internacional Teológico Bautista” in Buenos Aires. In 2001 we finished our theological degree and moved to Mozambique to fulfill a vacancy as voluntary missionary doctors. We were supported financially by an association of many churches in Argentina. We lived in Milange, Mozambique as a family (with 2 children) for 5 years. We learned from the Mozambican culture and its situation. We saw God working and now we would like to connect Christians outside Mozambique with the people in Mozambique, to improve their lives, to contribute to the growth of the kingdom of God, and to glorify God in the process.

This is an opportunity to respond to God's love. Not only to talk about the transformation that God can do, but to contribute to this transformation. The opposite of love is not hate but indifference.

    While living in Mozambique, we helped to start these initiatives:

•    Medical attention. Clinic building.
•    “Nutrition Project”.
•    Children Project.
•    Pharmaceutical project.
•    Multimedia Project.
•    Jesus Film.
•    Igreja Deus Connosco (“God with us” Church)

After we left Mozambique in 2007, we continued our involvement with the work there. And we started:

•    “Biblias para Mozambique”
•    “Theological Training Project”
•    Radio project.
•    Marriage and family initiative.
•    Cooperatives
•    Orphans projects.
(At the end I’ll describe each one of these projects)
