Key Ministry Initiatives
- A Scripture memory contest, launched by church member Hannah Malone now operates across nearly all ten provinces of Mozambique and represents a nationwide impact from a single congregation’s initiative.
- Women’s ministry expansion—Hannah Malone established women’s Bible reading groups for provincial churches.
- Program administration transferred to local church leadership—demonstrates sustainable ministry development and local ownership.
- Reformation Heritage Promotion—annual Reformation Day rallies held since 2017 (500th anniversary of Luther’s 95 Theses); expanded to support similar rallies nationwide through conference ministry connections.
- Previously included conferences on appropriate church music, focused on restoring Reformation benefits to modern evangelical churches.
- Theological education development—Reformed seminary established in Nampula by former church members. Leaders received seminary training in Brazil, now shepherding daughter churches in the Reformed tradition.
Ongoing Challenges
-
Medical Ministry: The hospital facility has been built and fully equipped for years but faces continuous setbacks preventing opening. It has potential to evangelise 100 people daily once operational. This requires sustained prayer support from sister churches.
-
Conference Participation: Six church members attended the 2025 Sola 5 Conference. All attendees are actively involved in executing the described ministries.
The Strategic Advantage
- Critical Need—Medical Ministry: Pray for God’s timing to open the fully-equipped hospital after decades of delays, breakthrough against setbacks, and the evangelistic potential of reaching 100 people daily.
- Expanding Ministries: Pray for the nationwide Scripture memory contest growth, women’s Bible reading groups with local leadership development, and Reformation Day rallies strengthening churches across Mozambique.
- Leadership Development: Pray for the Reformed Seminary in Nampula, seminary graduates establishing daughter churches, and wisdom/strength for ministry leaders managing heavy workloads.
- Conference Impact: Pray for six attending members, wisdom in presenting ministries to Sola 5 churches, and fruitful networking with sister congregations.
- Ongoing Needs: Pray for perseverance through challenges, God’s provision and protection over expanding works, and unity among church leadership and members.
