Adult Literacy Project

We thank all who participated praying for literacy work. Most people in the churches in Mozambique could not read and write. These were barriers for Bible study. Now, God opened the doors: in 2014, we managed to enroll 966 students for literacy (431 men and 535 women) in 22 centers in churches and 33 literacy teachers. This year 2015 we enrolled 1380 (587 men and 793 women) students for literacy  in 32 centers with 53 literacy teachers.
It is a joint effort of the government of Mozambique and the "Dignidad" organization of Spain (led by Mary Acebal).

We thank God because of these people, God will raise up men and women who will extend his word wisely. We ask for your prayers and collaboration. If the people of God become literate, God will rise them in a special way.

We want to encourage you with the news that most of those who started to read and write are excited to read and understand the Bible. Please pray for the Lord to open more doors for the entry of Bibles for his people. Thank you very much. God bless and keep you.

Storms in Mozambique

During the last two weeks of January 2015, the population of Mozambique has been hit by heavy rains and storms that left devastating consequences for many Mozambican families.
Many houses, mostly of logs, bamboo, mud and straw, have been destabilized and others have fallen down. Several people were killed by the storm. In some cases stored food (corn and beans) has been damaged by moisture and flooding. Because most people sleep on the floor with mats, it is becoming difficult to relax when everything becomes wet.














Pastor Zeca Domingos Framingas shares with us pictures of the situation of the neighbors. Many do not have where to sleep. And the situation is particularly serious for the elderly and widows with children who can not rebuild your house fast by their own efforts. These people are the focus of the churches. They have to be helped first.
Families who have lost their food in the flood, are forced to buy it at a high price (because of shortages) and many families don't have the money.


Regardless of the situation, pastor Zeca Domingos has words of gratitude. He writes: "... I want to thank for your prayers. The church is doing better, despite some problems by the falling of our house of worship. Now we lift the roof and we are trying to rebuild the walls with bricks to prevent people to be distracted during service time. We have the bricks we made last year but we lack the money for the builder..."

Pastor Gonçales Murimaoca reports:
"At the church neighborhood, more than 30 houses have been destroyed. And in the rural areas have already been reported 12 fallen temples of worship. We got some support money to buy plastic (4 rolls) for emergency housing repairs and food (10 bags of corn) for the most vulnerable. And the church began to give this support to affected families... we are heartily grateful for your help, it is a small beginning, but we are thankful. Please continue to pray for it. There are more people who need our help. The number of affected families is overwhelming. This little start became a blessing. The glory be to the Lord.
