Matola

Our center is currently home to 42 children, many from the local area. Others are sent to us from the doctors at Maputo General Hospital, with whom we have a close relationship. Our children range from the ages four to eighteen each day brings its own excitement and challenges.

Our beloved Mozambican staff is an integral to our center here; each educator and team member brings a unique aspect to our family. In fact, our onsite church began thanks to the musical talents of Vovo Cumbane, a caretaker here at the time. He would bring his guitar and spend time singing and worshipping with the children. He planted the seed that would grow to attract the local community through our doors.

Children’s Home – Primarily, we are a children’s home; providing food, care, shelter and a loving family environment for each of the children who come to live with us. We currently have forty-two children in our family, ranging from age four to eighteen. [Sponsor now]

Church – Our church meets in three different local communities, one is at our main center, the second is in Jonasse and the third in Patricia Lumumba. Every second Sunday all three congregations meet together at the main center, where we worship and share in God’s word. Evangelism is a big part of our weekly routine and each Friday we visit families in the areas in which each of our churches are based.

Preschool- With the provision of our new church building came the opportunity open our doors to the wider community. Each morning we hold a preschool which 67 children attend. Three fantastic teachers run the sessions, leading the children in songs and activities all morning long.

Mercy Ministries – we offer milk powder and basic food supplies for the poorest families, and sometimes a free meal after the service, alongside transport where it is needed throughout the week.
