MOZAMBIQUE—New missionaries, Mike and Sarah Thiessen, arrived May 23 with their children Simon and Gabriel. Pray for them to settle in and arrange Portuguese language classes. There will be many adjustments as they get to know the missionary team make new friends. Pray for their future ministries and especially for the Lord’s wisdom for Mike as the new seminary director.

ECC director, Juca Fernando, reports that his training and teaching in Zambezia province is going well. He will continue encouraging the church in Zambezia and Nampula provinces and doing survey work in Cabo Delgado province. Ask the Lord to bring people that will open doors for new ministries in the future. Pray for his wife and daughter who remain at home near Maputo.

Christian Academy in Mozambique (CAM) has been approved by the U.S. Embassy to do some important security upgrades that the embassy will reimburse. Pray that these physical improvements will be finished before August 5 when classes begin for the next school year.

Continue to pray for a director for CAM and for teachers needed for the next school year. The OMS ministries continue to grow, so more career and short-term missionaries are greatly needed. The missionaries currently on the field are stretched, covering all the ministries.
