The Broom Manโs faith
Tim & Bronwen Heaton recall how a Christian broom seller stood up to the crowd.
Since independence from Portugal in 1975 Mozambique was battered by civil war, economic woes and famine. Since peace in 1992 though, the country has developed one of the worldโs fastest growing economies. Many are still unreached with the gospel and 17% of the country practice Islam.
In 1975 AIMโs first attempts to begin ministry in Mozambique were thwarted. All entry was forbidden by a regime claiming to be โthe first truly Marxist government in Africa.โ In 1985 AIM eventually entered Mozambique to find that through the war and communist years the gospel had been quietly spread by Mozambican evangelists. AIMโs work therefore supported their efforts, with AIM mission partners seeking to support the local church and to share Bible training with local pastors.
AIMโs work in Mozambique remains the same today. The vision is to support local believers in evangelism, discipleship and in training Church leaders to grow Godโs kingdom in Mozambique.
