ORIGINS

The Free Methodist Church in Mozambique, a Portuguese-speaking country, began outreach to the people of Angola, who also speak Portuguese. A leader from Mozambique was sent to lay the ground work for an on-going relationship with a small church group in the capital city, Luanda. The Brazilian Free Methodist General Conference also began a work in Angola, centered in the Malanje district. Over the years the Malanje district has become the primary Free Methodist work in Angola.
