Conference in Malawi



Beginning of October we spent five intense days participating in the annual conference of the Evangelical Missionary Church in Malawi, we have assisted this same church in Mozambique. We were received with joy by our fellow brothers. The conference began on Thursday the 7th and ended on Sunday the 10th. On Saturday morning, we baptized 27 new converts who had prepared for baptism. In the afternoon, we had a worship service and at night showed the Jesus film for the whole community near the church. On Sunday we had a morning service, ending the conference and in the late afternoon we had a special worship service for the Bible school students who were graduating. It was a very special time because we saw that even with so many difficulties; the joy of our brothers in Christ was contagious. The pastor was very happy with our presence, because when he was in Chimoio back in May, he invited us to participate in this conference. They wanted us to spend more time with them.  For us it was a gift of God, participating in this conference, it was truly a blessing! The church in Malawi has a good structure and Pastor Benjamin has done a great job. He is a man of prayer and has a servant's heart, during these days that we were with him; he did the utmost to provide everything we needed.  We want to thank our wonderful God for this opportunity, to Him, all the honour and glory

Cassava and Sugarcane Course


This was the first course of the processing of cassava and sugarcane, held at Prisao Cabeca de Velho in Chimoio. We had the participation of many prisoners as students and even some officials. During the course we taught many recipes made with cassava and sugar, and also to taught cane molasses, besides canning of sweet and salty. The course was a great success and we are already organizing to do the next course.


 

 

Seminar in Mpucuta



We conducted a seminar and the inauguration of Missionary Evangelical Church of Mozambique in the area of Mpucuta, 45 km from Chimoio. It is a very poor community but the people always have a smile on their faces. We had a good time together with the brothers, in addition to the inauguration of the church, we ministered to the leaders of several local churches.

Seminar in Sussundenga

Seminar held in the month of May in the district of Sussundenga with several local pastors. We taught for two days, these brothers need much teaching of the word of God. To get an idea of the shortage of teaching here, many of these seminars that we do for 2 or 3 days for many pastors it's like a seminary formation. Especially when we provide teaching materials for them, it is a great joy. There is such a shortage of evangelical teaching material, please pray for us.




Seminar at Pentecostal Church



In  April we had a seminar at the Pentecostal Church of Chimoio, with nearly 150 leaders from various location in the country. We were there two days teaching these pastors and leaders, and we had a very blessed time with these dear brothers. It is very rewarding for me because every seminar is a new experience. These seminars have brought forward many invitations to new seminars, and God has blessed us tremendously. I praise God for every seminar I have the privilege of ministering.


Service in Prison

Dear friends and brothers,

Sorry for the absence but these past few months have been very busy. This year we have had many problems with the internet making it difficult to update the blog. But thank God we've had a lot of work and it has been a blessing. So I am sharing with you some pictures of the work we've done over these months.

The photos below are the latest worship services in the prison where I was preaching. Every worship performed in prison God does something new and many lives have been saved. Praise the name of the Lord Jesus.
