This fund allows us to respond in emergency situations. We are able to help restore hope and show the healing power of God’s love in the midst of hardship.

Cyclone Chido

Northern Mozambique took a direct hit from Cyclone Chido and hundreds of thousands of people lost their homes to due the ferocious winds. All of the buildings on our farm are severely damaged, roofs were ripped off our University buildings, and many of our churches are leveled. Our biggest priority is helping the desperately poor in our community who having endured years of violence and a devastating cyclone five years ago are facing another season of rebuilding and recovery. We have our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus who is the calm in the storm and we know that this sorrow may last for the night, His joy comes in the morning.

Providing Physical & Spiritual Relief to Internally Displaced Persons

What began in 2017 as a seemingly random incident of isolated aggression in a town in northern Mozambique has deteriorated into a protracted and increasingly sophisticated campaign of terror. It has spread throughout the province of Cabo Delgado and threatens more people every day. Since that day in October 2017, hundreds of thousands have fled with little more than their lives and stories of unspeakable evil made manifest.

For our team of national and international missionaries it seems unimaginable that this could be happening to their family, friends, and neighbors. And yet, moved by compassion, they embrace the people whose faces are etched by grief and bring physical and spiritual relief with food, basic supplies, shelter, clean water, and the transformative love of Jesus.
