LOCAL MISSIONARIES

John Rangue Bob

I grew up in a Christian family and with a good record of serving God. When I was 10 I started serving in our local church as a singer and I did drama acting too. My pastor then encouraged me and my parents that I should continue to be fed the word of God. When I was 12 I could read and narrate many bible stories on my own. Later in life I got to a point where I went back to the world, I did so for 3 years until I got arrested because of doing illegal gold mining in Zimbabwe, Bindura. I was sentenced to prison in 2008 for 5 years. In the prison I remembered the God I used to serve, how important and how much I needed Him now. I began preaching in jail and prayer was my priority for me and my other jail mates. In 2009 there was a presidential amnesty, thank God we were sent home. But during my time in jail I was told by one of the jailers who was from Mozambique that in his country gold was legal to mine anywhere, anytime. I then decided to come here to Mozambique in search of gold, yet I didn’t know that God was calling me for something greater.

In 2010 I met God Will Provide Missionaries and also Pastor John Tkach, Bishop Peter, and also pastor Tembo. I got involved with the mission and my main work was translation from English to Mozambique local language. I did that until 2014, where I moved to another Mission Base (Messengers if Truth) in Cateme town in Tete.

For two years I was there and things didn’t go well, so I decided to come back to Chissua at God Will Provide Base. In 2018 I met pastor Francis Kapachawo, his teaching inspired me so much, I realized he knew much concerning biblical knowledge & wisdom. I got inspired to want to become like him so I started praying about my future and in the same year pastor Francis asked me to join bible school he said if you are free you are welcome to join, with joy I accepted his offer. May God bless this pastor for the vision he has of discipling and developing leaders, now I can discern what good leadership is. May God bless our school and the pastor and teacher for his hard work and patience with us. Amen

Amedu Torres

My name is Amedu Torres Lucas, at first when the Bible school was opened and people were signing up, I thought to myself that I already know everything and I don’t need bible school. I said to myself I read the Bible and memorize scriptures, I know many bible stories so why will I need bible school , I told myself all these things, yet deep in my heart God was telling me that I must sign up for bible school. I thought about it and eventually made my decision and then I signed up. On the very first day when the teacher (pastor Francis) was teaching I realized that I don’t know anything, ever since I was born again I didn’t fully understand the love of God and the Grace of God on me, I lived a life of doubt and fear that when I die I wasn’t sure if I would be in heaven, but when I began to understand the love, grace and work of God on me, I now have confidence and understanding even if the Lord comes right now i believe I will go with Him.

Jossefe Jose

I am Jossefe Jose, 19 years of age and I’m a student at our Bible School here in Mozambique. On 16 June 2018 I started taking classes in bible school, when I came I had no knowledge of the Word of God, I knew nothing concerning bible doctrine and prayer. I give God the glory for using my teacher and pastor Francis Kapachawo, who has taught me and now I have come to understand more and more of the Word of God through the work of the Holy Spirit.

Bible school has changed by perspective because at some point I actually thought I knew something, but bible school brought me to a place I came to understand that my knowledge was incorrect, my walk with Christ changed towards the right direction. Now when I say or teach I understand that I know what I’m talking about. God made bible school possible for me, even though I never thought of being in bible school one day, but I now understand that it is His Will and plan for me Jeremiah 1:5 Jeremiah 29:11.

Eucai Chitsique

I am a lady aged 33 years and I am a member of God Will Provide Church. I am a student at the Bible School, it was my wish since I was a teenager to learn more about God. And now my wish has been fulfilled by the grace of God. I thank God for sending Pastor Francis to Mozambique as he is my teacher. I have learned a lot so far mostly about Grace and how God loves this world and gave us His Son. Now I know that I have the grace of God in my life and that because of Christ all my sins are forgiven & because of the work of Christ on the cross. If it was by works I would not make it but praise God because of His Grace. I joined the second Bible School semester because the first semester I thought women were not allowed and I was wrong, but now I’m in my second semester. Glory be to God.

Daniel Xadreque Mazhindu

Ever since I was 10 years, I had zeal concerning the word of God I have always wanted to know His truth. I started reading the Bible in search of the truth because nobody could explain it to me. God revealed it to me then that He was calling me to go for Bible School Training to be equipped to become a pastor. My parents were poor and they couldn’t afford that for me and sadly they were not believers.

Ever since I completed my ordinary level in High School in Zimbabwe, the same vision continuously came to me and two pastors confirmed the same call on me, but because of financial crisis in my life I couldn’t afford any bible school. I came to a conclusion that I will not make it.

Yet God had his plans for me, in 2015 I joined God Will Provide Mission (I am currently serving as a deacon). I didn’t know that I will end up in Bible School one day. Until God sent His servant Pastor Francis Kapachawo to open a bible school here in God Will Provide Mission Mozambique. Praise the Lord that now I’m one of the students.

Bible school has taught me so much, before I thought I was a good preacher, until we had a lecture on the subject of Homiletics (The Art and skill of Preaching) I gained so much understanding in this class than I thought I knew. Also classes like Church Leadership and Administration and Bible Doctrine has helped me in my growth as a believer. I love this school so much. Glory to God Hallelujah.

Baloy Chagona

When I came to school I first thought it was just for a few days without knowing that it was for more than a year. I had a hard time the first semester, since I’m still in high school, I had to walk everyday to school from Chitima to Chissua ( 8km (5miles) to the Mission Base, where we have classes). I also had to do my school homework and bible school together. I failed my classes last year and my dad began to discourage me concerning the bible school but I stood my ground and would not change my mind, because I understand what I’m learning is more valuable than what the world can offer me. The knowledge of the Word of God is really helpful to me and it has expanded my growth in Christ more than what I imagined. Thank God for the teacher he has given us (Pastor Francis) and the patience he has on me. Amen.

Soarje Movel Sairosse

At first I saw the teacher (pastor Francis) and the students in the Missionary house at our God Will Provide Base here in Mozambique, I didn’t know they were having bible school classes, I actually thought they were just doing a bible study.

When I realized that it was actually bible school, I spoke with one of the students and I asked him how I can join the school. Sadly i felt discouraged because I was told that the content was quite difficult to understand. I thought I wouldn’t do it, but I needed too though. One day when we had our night prayer at the base one of the missionaries (Surge Shevchenko) asked me if I wanted to be a missionary and if wanted to go to bible school, my answer was YES, that is when I joined the Bible school.

Bible school has helped me to know and to understand grace and the truth of life. I have grown to be more and more stronger in Christ through this school. Now I’m able to discern what truly is wrong doctrine and what is true biblical doctrine, I have learned so much on the character and nature of God, most importantly I have come to understand the identity and work of Christ in detail. Glory to Jesus.

I was one of the first students at bible school, I know it wasn’t a mistake when I choose to learn about the nature and character of God.
I was ordained as a deacon without any understanding of what a deacon is and what his work is. It was very sad for me, getting ordained at such a position in church when I didn’t have any information or knowledge about it. Honestly it was killing me from inside out because I was expecting people to respect and honor me. I was completely wrong.

I remember Pastor Francis approaching me and asking me if I knew what I was doing and what was entrusted to me as a part of church leadership now, my response was honest; I had no idea of what I was doing. Francis offered to educate me in the scripture and help me understand more and more. I took advantage of the opportunity which was laid in front of me and today I can testify that God has changed me through this school. My view of what a leader is has completely changed, I’m looking forward to continue learning more and more from our bible school. Glory Hallelujah
