Mozambique Blog 2012 Rowena and Danny

Mozambique visit 2012 Danny Pigeon, Synod treasurer, and Rowena, Synod Moderator will be flying out to Mozambique on July 10th over-night, arriving July 11th 2012. We will be visiting with IPM, the Presbyterian Church of Mozambique, the Synod’s world church partner for a 125th anniversary synod meeting in Antioca, where the first mission church was planted. Ernesto Lange, the General Secretary and Bartolomeu Lange (not related) from the Administration and Finance department will hopefully visit the Synod in October for our 40th birthday celebration of the formation of the URC. The synod is currently seeking to raise £3000 towards the flights for a theological student from IPM in Mozambque to a college in Brazil. Danny and I are hoping to meet the student before he leaves for college. This support is good in seeking to develop partnerships across the global church community. Donations welcome. I ask your prayers for safe travelling and for the synod meeting and hope to keep you posted during and following our stay.
