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.

Breakdown in Fibre-Optic Cable

Blessings,

On April 26, between Beira and Vilanculos, there was a breakdown in the fibre optic submarine cable of Telecommunications Company of Mozambique (TDM) and this has caused several problems in the communication network and services affecting, telephone lines and Internet in the seven provinces of central and northern regions of the country. In the centre and north of the country, banks weren't operating transactions, only deposits. Customers who wanted to pay their bills using credit cards and debit could not do it for lack of system. All services was virtually paralysed.

The breakdown of the fibre optic cable, which carries communications between the southern, central and northern Mozambique, is serious. The repair should take at least four weeks because the country does not have the technical means to fix. The undersea cable was cut, at an approximate distance of 110km from the coast of Vilanculos and at a depth of 35 metres. The repair of the cable depends on resources from abroad. 

At the moment we are without communication because of this matter, please help us in prayer so that this problem will be solved as soon as possible. 

God bless,

Working with Children

Beloved, I am putting some photos of the work we have been doing with children, and I want to explain about these pictures and what is the desire of our heart.


As you can see, the photos are of children in 3 small schools where we're doing some evangelistic activities.These small schools are the following: Project Kukula Pabozi, kids of Pr Madeira and a school that was built by Pr Madeira in the Prison Ministry's lot. We are helping these projects that work with orphans and needy because we believe that children are the future of this country, and mainly because the Lord Jesus loves them very much. But for us is very difficult to see how they do activities with the children in these centers, because even the few institutions that work with children in this country do not have any structure and are not qualified for such work. But most do because it is a great source for raising money. We were shocked at the way these children are treated in these centers. And we have prayed and felt very strongly in our hearts to make a center where we can get the kids and treat them with respect and affection, and not how they are treated in centers. Using suitably trained and qualified people to work with children. Today we are working with nearly 150 children in 3 centers but without any structure and we cannot change the way they teach because we have no freedom to change. And as we have a large area that belongs to Prison Ministry today is almost abandoned and full of weeds. So we are thinking of raising funds to build a machessa and 3 rooms with burnt bricks which is not very expensive, just something  simple that can be improved in the future and where we'll be better organized to do a good job with the kids and something that we have control. For this I'm trying some partnerships to get the funds to do these simple constructions that can be expanded in the future, and I want to use the same infrastructure to provide training for pastors and leaders and also train teachers of children. For this first stage I need US$3,000 which would be enough to build classrooms and begin to receive the children. Please help us in prayer so we get this money. Email this project to friends and church, if each of us donate the equivalent of a coca cola, we'll see this dream come true. Can you help us? We thank you for your love and commitment in helping us help those who need the most: the children of Mozambique.


Blessings,
