PRESENT MINISTRIES

The church in Mozambique oversees Nhaloi Hospital, as well as the Inhamachfo Clinic and Primary School, which were confiscated by the government in the early days of independence. The Evangelist Training School at Inhamachafo, began by missionaries, is still in operation. A new post-high-school seminary has opened in Beira, the second-largest city. The country has suffered from several natural disasters in recent years – drought, floods and the devastating Cyclone Idai in early 2019.

OUTREACH TO THE WORLD

The conference has begun work in Swaziland and Angola.

ORIGINS

Three of the five missionaries who arrived in South Africa in 1885 traveled northward to Mozambique. G. Harry Agnew, one of them, built the first Free Methodist chapel in Africa.

Following the country's independence in 1975, a Marxist state developed. All Free Methodist medical work was nationalized and private schools closed. Missionaries were withdrawn from the country. The church, however, was strong and has carried on in spite of oppression.
