Our Mozambique team is lives life alongside their Yawo friends, journeying with them through challenges, hardships and joys. Our team looks for opportunities to share God’s love in practical ways and is meeting with many groups to explore God’s Word.
“Our Yawo friends are acutely aware of the power, reality and danger of what’s happening in the spiritual realm.
Many live in fear of upsetting ancestral and other spirits, and the consequences that they believe come from that. They are often keen to talk about God and are interested to hear about Jesus and the authority He has in that realm.
Please pray with us, that as we share with people about Jesus, the truth of the Gospel will take hold in the hearts of many. Pray that our Yawo friends will know and follow the Messiah, be filled with the Spirit and walk in freedom.”
