MOZAMBIQUE—Groundwork for the seminary program is ongoing from Canada, where Mike Thiessen is diligently working, and in Maputo where Xavier Massingue and Daniel Maduel, professors, are taking preparatory steps to continue the development phase. The missionary team is working together to accomplish foundational tasks as they continue to recruit for a seminary director. Obstacles continue. Ask God to show them the solution to the supply difficulty with the books. The current supplier of books is unable to continue to provide these books under the existing partnership. Pray for knowledge to know how to proceed.

Pray for the ECC program in Mozambique to finalize the agreement between OMS and Igreja Evangelica Palavra Viva. Also pray for the new committee, beginning to conduct meetings and business. Pray for Juka Fernando, coordinator, traveling to Nampula for a supervisory visit of the workers and work in this province. While there, he will finalize the translations of the chronological Bible Storytelling in Makua, a joint effort of the Nazarene and Wesleyan churches and OMS.

Ask God to empower the missionaries and national workers who co-labor in the task of evangelism and training. Pray that God will bring a great “hunger for the lost” among those who labor.
