about
Mozambique is located in southern East Africa and became a Portuguese colony in the early 16th century. It was independent from Portugal in 1975. The official language is Portuguese. After independence, continuous civil war caused it to be declared as a low-developed and heavily indebted poor country by the United Nations. After the civil war ended in 1992, the country’s politics became stable and the economy began to develop rapidly. Pastor Eddieu, the pastor of ROLCC in Mozambique, was born in Ghana. He became a Christian in 1990 and served in the church in Ghana. He went to Ivory Coast later and served in the local church. Introduced by the pastor in Ivory Coast, he was admitted to the localBible school for further studies and graduated in 2003, and was ordained and served in the church as the assistant pastor for 3 years. Then he was sent to South Africa as a missionary in 2006 and started the Sinai Revival Church in the same year. In 2009, He married his wife who is also a preacher and a cousin of Pastor Texford’s wife. Pastor Texford is the senior pastor of ROLCC in Ghana. Pastor Texford and his wife shared the vision of ROLCC with them and they were moved greatly. He andhis wife participated in the ROLCC Shepherd's Prayer Meeting in West Africa in 2017 for three consecutive years and met Pastor Tong. Pastor Eddieu went to Mozambique in 2019 and established a cell group in the capital Maputo. He was able to conduct many gospel outreach and door-to-door evangelism ministries in local communities, and started discipleship and co-workers training. They formally joined ROLCC in 2020 and were sent to Mozambique to plant churches. Soon after due to the epidemic, Mozambique closed its borders and prohibited foreigners from entering, and the physical meetings of churches and groups had also been interrupted. Pastor Eddieu’s family then moved back to South Africa and shepherded the believers and co-workers in Mozambique through the Internet and social platforms. Thanks to God for his protection and leadership, they have returned to Mozambique and resumed physical gatherings after the epidemic has eased. As of 2024, Mozambique already has 9 branch churches, and the number of attendees is constantly increasing! Thank God for continuing to lead them to carry out gospel work in the local area. They also continue to hope to build new churches and preach the gospel to all people in need. May God continue to lead them and bless the work in their hands to testify to God’s love and demonstrate God’s love. God's glory. Mozanbique is in crisis in 2025, there is a civil unrest very serious so our prayer request is for the peace and stability for the nation.

Pray with Mozambique

We ask you to open the hearts of those in power, so that they may know you, fear you, and act in accordance with justice and truth. We also pray for our brothers and sisters who are preaching the gospel in difficult circumstances. May You grant them a strong and courageous spirit so that they can faithfully preach the salvation of Christ no matter what obstacles they face. Lord, please break the bondage of the forces of darkness, smash all schemes of injustice and violence, and make Africa a place full of peace and justice. We pray especially for those Christians who are persecuted for their faith. May you protect them so that they can stand strong in the trials, become light and salt, and bear witness for you.
我們求祢打開執政掌權者的心,使他們認識祢,敬畏祢,行事為人合乎公義與真理。我們也為在困難環境中傳福音的弟兄姊妹禱告,求祢賜給他們剛強壯膽的靈,不論面對任何阻礙,都能忠心傳揚基督的救恩。
主啊,求祢破除黑暗勢力的捆綁,粉碎一切不義和暴力的計謀,使非洲成為充滿平安與公義的地方。我們特別為那些因信仰受迫害的基督徒禱告,願祢保守他們,使他們在試煉中仍能剛強站立,成為光與鹽,為祢作見證。
