A Story from Mozambique

Yuran lived in a community where most people practiced traditional religion, including witchcraft and divination. Yuran himself was a traditional healer, someone others came to for help. 

The local church was small, just twenty-six members. But like many in his village, Yuran saw Christianity as a threat to his beliefs and livelihood. Many sought to harm the Christians. 

Shortly after the church began studying TCT, tragedy struck. Yuran’s house caught fire, destroying everything his family owned.   

Despite the mistreatment and differing beliefs, the church responded in love. Church members gathered clothes, food, and kitchen supplies. The men went into the forest to gather trees and grass and built a new home. 

Surprised and grateful, Yuran told other relatives about what the church did for him. Yuran’s family and four other families decided to join the church.
