The Mozambique Initiative
News

In an effort to resource and support local churches, the Mozambique Initiative (MI) is excited to announce that it will be rolling out a brand new, four week discipleship curriculum in June 2015. The material is designed to engage churches in new ways, specifically around mission, service, and justice. The curriculum package centers on the holistic work of the MI, a dynamic partnership in mission between the Missouri United Methodist Conference and the United Methodist Conferences of Mozambique. The hope is that this resource will help you and your congregations learn more about mission and tell the story of the Missouri Conference’s work in Mozambique in a compelling and transformative way.

In collaboration, photographer Dustin Bryson of Morning Star UMC is contributing photos from his recent mission experience in Mozambique for the curriculum guide, and a few of these photos are sampled here in this article.
Rev. Angie Olson, who works at the Office of Creative Ministries, is assisting with writing the theological content, formulating the questions, and formatting the guide. All of these gifted individuals have given their time and talents to make the project come to life.

The MI will be releasing this material beginning in June 2015 at Annual Conference. All registrants will receive the DVD, CD, and curriculum guide at no cost, as part of their registration.
In addition, Sarah Bollinger, the Associate Director of the MI, will be giving a workshop at Annual Conference about how to use these materials and will be unveiling the videos. The workshop is open to all attendees. Please plan to attend the workshop if you are interested in learning more.
The MI is excited to reveal this material and hopes that it will be an asset to your congregation as we journey together in mission and service to our world. Join us in telling the story!
