Chopi of Southern Mozambique

(SHOW-pee) – Mercy ministries are an important part of the sustainability of Mozambique, but as the old proverb says: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” The Southern Mozambique Team writes: “Please join us in praying over our preparations for ‘tent-making projects’ in practical helps for daily Mozambique life. We have a team coming to Inhambane province the first week of June who will be making some first steps in sustainable farming techniques with the group in the rural village of Chemane. Please be praying now for materials that need to be acquired, government clearances that need to be granted, and project studying preparations that need to be made. Prayers are also needed for shared understanding with the Mozambican community, dedicated Mozambican project managers, and a successful first project. Praise the Lord that He moved in the hearts of a North Carolina church’s congregation to train in the United States and come as willing hands to partner with our Mozambicans and ‘teach [them] to fish’!”
