If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land- 2 Chronicles 7:14

1. In terms of development, Mozambique's needs remain widespread and deep. Pray for effective, practical programs to assist those who live in the most severe poverty.

2. Mozambique enjoys religious freedom for the first time in its history. Catholicism dominated under the Portuguese. Then, under Marxism, all Christians suffered. Many people died for their faith, but growth came as a result of their sacrifice. Pray that this freedom might continue and that true Christian faith and love might be expressed throughout society.

3. The spiritual responsiveness of Mozambicans is one result of the suffering and deprivation endured. But massive growth also presents proportionally huge challenges: ignorance of biblical teaching and standards, syncretism and legalism. Pray for growth in maturity and truth that matches growth in numbers - without forsaking cultural authenticity.
