The Ndau of Mozambique
Scripture: “And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.” (Acts 19: 17-20) May it be so among the Ndau!

Latest Prayer Updates:
Basic theology course finished!
We want to praise the Lord- this last weekend we celebrated the end of our very first Basic Theology course with our Pastors and their leaders. Please pray that they will continue to study the material and have a hunger and thirst to know Christ more!
Pray for rain
Please pray for rain! The Ndau are sustenance farmers and last year their crops were burnt from the lack of rain. Everyone has planted already, and it’s only rained once. We are praying but everyone is very scared about how we are going to survive.
