These are busy days at Christian Academy in Mozambique (CAM). Pray for a good completion by all the students, especially the two seniors, Natasha and Neel. The CAM graduation ceremony is on June 4 at the Maputo Biblical and Theological Seminary. The property was purchased from Neel’s family, so this is a very special day for Neel and CAM.

The national church discipline committee submitted their first draft of the church discipline a few weeks ago. The national council met with Dave and Ann Dedrick and Larry and Susan Weil to discuss revisions and rewording. This will set the foundation for the future of the national church and its vision.

ECC coordinator Juca Fernando is traveling in Zambezia, Nampula and Cabo Delgado. Pray for safety as well as many new contacts needed to further the ECC ministries in the north. Juca will provide training and bring much needed training materials and Bibles. Pray for his wife Elina and their baby daughter while he is away.

A few weeks ago, the Jesus Film was shown in a new area called Picoco. The response was positive, and ECC is deciding how best to develop the church in this area. Pray for Sr. Nelhio, considering his what his role in the church ministry will be.

Remember to pray for Dave and Ann Dedrick, in the U.S. for a two-month mini-furlough and OMS field council meetings in June. Pray for good travel as well as refreshment for their minds, bodies and spirits.

Mike and Sarah Thiessen and their two boys, Simon (4) and Gabriel (2), arrive on May 23 to begin their ministry in Mozambique. They will be in Portuguese language classes, and Mike will assume the directorship of the new seminary. Pray for their final days in Canada with family and friends.
