Advancing The Church

Mozambique Update 🇲🇿

This week we completed an intensive training in Nhamatanda and are now starting our training in Beira.

We thank God for the opportunity to equip pastors, church planters, and church leaders with His Word. It is encouraging to see so many committed to making disciples and strengthening local churches.

Please pray that God would continue to raise up faithful leaders and advance His gospel throughout Mozambique.

“Entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” — 2 Timothy 2:2

Look at all God has done through our coalition ministry partner Mile One Mission!

Check out what the Lord has been doing in our ministry! We made it through a record amount of snow and are headed into the busiest summer we've had. Pray for us, it's going to be a wild ride.

Evaluating a pastor or church in just two years? It's barely enough time to realize the mess. True ministry work begins after that initial period, when adaptation and real commitment start to show.
