Matine Family

Pray for the Matine Family

In the midst of political unrest and uncertainty in Mozambique, the Matines are following God’s calling to reach the people of their homeland. Through Building the Heart Ministry, their desire is to focus on discipleship through education, art, sports, and community development.
Please pray for God’s protection and guidance through this season of transition.
