Elvio Malawene
Elvio Malawene, gave his life to Jesus Christ in October 2007. After many years of being involved in the Christian church, he finally realized the importance of following Christ.
For the past two years, we have invested in Elvio’s life and now we have begun to see the fruits of our labor. Elvio has become one of our most trusted and faithful leaders. He has a passion to help others walk with Christ in an intimate way.
In July of 2009, Elvio, along with other core leaders of our group received some training from Africa’s Young Life organization. Elvio took the training he received and began a discipleship program for young people in the inhambane and Maxixe’s region.
Elvio is attending the Universidad Sagrada Familia in Maxixe, Inhambane and has become a distinguished student in the University
Lina Masique
Lina is a committed girl, who loves Jesus and loves to evangelize.
Lina comes from well-known Christian family. Her grandfather was one of the oldest ministry in Cambini, Masinga in Mozambique.
Her natural leadership is amazing; she began to attend our bible studies and a few months later offered to use her mother’s house for whatever we needed. This gracious commitment of hospitality allowed us to develop a large bible study consisting of over 20 young people.
Lina has used her testimony to influence the lives of many young people. The parents of these young people have also been touched by her influence that now Lina’s mother Margarida, leads a bible study for the parents.
We have many powerful stories of Lina’s influence in the community. One that comes to mind happened in the summer of 2008, when one of Lina’s friends decided to dedicate her entire summer vacation to evangelize her community based on the influence that Lina had in her life.
Lina finished High School this year and will dedicate this coming year to evangelize and disciple new believers in her neighborhood.
