Holistic Evangelism in Tete Province, Mozambique Update July 2025

Dear Friends,

Our recent visit to Tete Province, Mozambique, was both productive and deeply inspiring. I traveled with Outreach Foundation Trustee Tom McDow and my wife, Elizabeth. While we had hoped for a larger team, we scaled back due to lingering unrest following Mozambique’s national elections.

We visited several villages alongside our local partners, including project director Sebber Banda, assistant director Rev. Carlos Faquione, and Presbytery Moderator Rev. Valentim Manuel. In Chimphako, we laid the groundwork for a new church to be built in 2026. In Madzimaera, we visited a new manse and toured a local school, church, and clinic. In Monequera, we saw firsthand the great need for more classrooms at a school now serving over 1,400 students. A church and teachers’ housing are being considered there for 2026.

Other highlights included visiting a rebuilt church in Diwa, a new well site in Fututu, and recently completed churches and schools in Pista, Martires De Inhazonia, and Mwezi, where we were overwhelmed by the community’s joyful welcome. On Sunday, we worshipped with two congregations in Matundo and Chimadzi, sharing communion during a vibrant five-hour service. We ended our visit with strategic planning sessions with Sebber and Carlos.

We are deeply encouraged by the continued impact of the Holistic Evangelism Project in Tete Province. Your prayers, support, and generosity are making a real difference. The need remains great—more churches, wells, classrooms, teacher housing, and leadership training are urgently needed. Every gift helps advance the Kingdom in this growing corner of the Church.

Please keep Sebber, Carlos, and their families in your prayers. They are strengthened by your partnership.

With gratitude,
Berry Long
