This year a new church is to be built at Mupengo. There is already a pastor and a small number of members. The team set out on Tuesday morning, and travelled the 50Km (or less) to Mupengo/ Mpengu, where they spent a successful three days. Ned wrote in his email: "We showed the Jesus film twice, and hundreds attended, but is difficult to know how many in the dark. This place is a bit further north, but not as far as Chimanimani. It is about 4km from the Zim border, and someone said that it was possible that some people might come from there, as well as those who have already come across because of the trouble in Zim. We watched the men build the frame of the church structure, which was completed quite quickly. The other activities were going on at the same time: groups for the children, the men, the women, and of course the football."

Ladies of the team hard at work!
A teaching session. This year the team did dramatic presentations of scripture pertaining to relationships between men and women - particularly for husbands and wives. This is much needed not only in Moz but in S.A. as well!! Wife-beating is the norm in Moz.
