We are now a covenant partner to a church in Mozambique. The name of the church is Mocuba UMC and its pastor is Bernardo Ezequiel. What does this mean? The standard covenant agreement is for a period of three years. It means that we support the church financially by donating $990.00 per year. (We will use the money generated by the can recycling program.)
We pray for our partner by placing the name of the church, the pastor and the members on our prayer list. A letter must be written to the church at least once per year. And we are to name a layperson to be the Mozambique Ministry Leader. Jean Knapp will fill this role for the duration of the covenant.
This is an exciting way to foster the growth of a Methodist church to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.
