The situation in the northern province of Cabo Delgado is unrelenting. In the last week, approximately 90 wooden fishing boats arrived on the shores of Pemba, Mozambique carrying over 2,700 people fleeing the violence in their villages. They landed just minutes from our Village of Joy center. By now, over 345,000 Mozambicans have escaped and 250,000 of those have sought safety in the Pemba area. Our team of missionaries and national staff have been faithfully serving these people since the beginning and know they have been divinely planted for such a time as this.
We are feeding 20,000 people a day in large part due to your generous support to purchase food. We are believing to increase that number and stand on the testimony that there is always enough! Thank you to everyone who has joined their faith to ours to make sure the hungry always get fed.
Please continue to pray for our team as we deliver spiritual and physical relief to people who have suffered unimaginable trauma and loss. We are in the middle of this battle, but keep our eyes on Jesus knowing He is worthy of it all.

All His grace and power flow to us through the Cross and no other way. We are glad to be known as social workers and humanitarians, and to have a reputation for doing good. But all is in vain if we do not bring to the people faith in our God and Savior Jesus Christ. We want to be known by His Name, first and foremost. And we do not expect fruitfulness to come out of anything but intimacy with Him …
