More than half of Mozambique's population are children. In the communities we serve, we gather kids each week to play, worship, hear the gospel, and share a meal — for some, the most nutritious meal they'll have all week.
Children make up more than half of Mozambique's population — a generation growing up amid poverty, hardship, and uncertainty. What they need most, alongside daily provision, is to be known, discipled, and introduced to the hope of Jesus Christ.
For many of these children, there is no other place where they are consistently taught, prayed for, and told that they are loved by God.
Each week, children are brought together to play, sing, hear Bible stories, and share a nutritious meal. It's a rhythm of joy and discipleship — a place where they are nurtured spiritually and physically, and where the love of Christ becomes real and personal.
What began with 20 children has now become a ministry that welcomes more than 150 each week. So many want to participate that we often must accommodate by having multiple groups — and since the faces change from week to week, the gospel reaches far more over the course of a year than any single gathering would suggest.
Alongside the gospel, the food matters. For some of these children, the hot meal we share each week is the most nutritious thing they'll eat for days — so we do our best to make sure no child leaves hungry.
As children come to know Jesus, that hope overflows into their whole household. Reaching a child often opens the door to parents, older siblings, neighbors, and others hearing the Gospel and coming to know Christ, making each child a catalyst for transforming entire families and communities.
Witness the joy of the kids as they sing, eat, and hear the gospel — as well as the heart of the leader who runs it.
Every gathering is made possible by a faithful team that serves week after week — cooking meals, leading songs, sharing Bible stories, and knowing the children by name. Led by our children's director, Tony, they faithfully invest in these children through consistent love, care, and discipleship. We are deeply grateful for every member of this team.
“For many of these children, this weekly event may be their only exposure to the love of Christ.”
