Church planting and growth | Supporting church communities in RSA, Malawi and Mozambique
JAM supports churches in RSA, Malawi and Mozambique. We visit these churches and communities and supply them with the necessary tools and leadership training to grow their churches and better their communities.

*Updated 15 April 2023

The Bible school students will be completing their first term, they have a short break and are travelling back home from Blantyre to visit their families. The report from the Bible School is that they are doing very well.

Wives are to join the Bible School

We were informed that the Bible School strongly advise that the wives of the students join them for training. This does make a lot of sense, but it's not compulsory because of the financial implications. 
The wives join the Bible school full-time with their husbands for the second half of the year. This means that the cost includes tuition fees, accommodation, registration, food and exam fees. The amount quoted by the Bible School for both Mrs Kunde and Mrs Tsabola will be MK664 000.00 which is R12 351.31 (calculated on R1 = MK53.76). 

We agree that this is a great initiative from the Bible school, to train not only the pastors but couples, as the partner of a pastor plays a massive role in the ministry. 

If you would like to get involved in this project you can make a donation.

We would like to thank those that have donated toward this project. As of the end of November 2022, we are able to pay the Bible School fees for the two students, Davie Sabola and Holly Kude, for 2023. They travelled to Blantyre for their interviews on 22 October 2022 and we are happy to announce that they have both been accepted and enrolled at the Evangelical Bible College of Malawi.

JAM will also be donating a parcel to support the students with a variety of things like journals, Bibles, a laptop computer, shirts, and the like. The parcel will be sent to them around the second week in January next year.

We will keep you updated on their progress with new pictures.

Training Leaders

New Goal for 2023!

DONATE

Our aim for 2022 was to send two young men, that have been identified by the church leaders, to the Evangelical Bible College in Blantyre. Now that this has become a reality we do not want to stop there but want to set a new goal for raising funds in 2023. To be able to send another student, or more, to the Bible school in 2024.

Pastor Daston Kapata is one of our young pastors that did his training there. He is a well-trained pastor with evangelism at the core of his ministry. Through him, we can clearly see that the training is extremely beneficial and necessary in order to build the mission churches and maintain the spiritual well-being of the members.

This decision came about, not just because of the lack of trained pastors in the mission churches, but also because of current leaders entering old age. There are some pastors that are getting old and in need of help with their churches. They also have invaluable knowledge and many years of experience which cannot be lost but must be conveyed to these new young pastors. The ideal would be to have them complete their Certificate and then join the church of the pastor they will be taking over. They will then work under their senior pastor as assistant and youth pastor for their practical training.

We will encourage these young pastors to start with youth programs like pastor Daston Kapata has done, and therefore to involve him in the youth work training of these young assistant pastors. Making use of Sports Evangelism Youth Outreaches we use sports as a tool to evangelize the youth. It is very important that the young people be reached so that the Africa Mission work can continue.


Total Bible School fees per year include:

1 Year Certificate

Mozambique
Mozambique
According to the most recent national census, more than half of Mozambicans are Christian, though a significant Muslim presence is also felt.

The South African nation Mozambique gives its people full rights to practice any religion of their choice. However, no official religious holidays are there, but it allows its people to take leave on their respective religious days of observance. In this respect, it would be interesting to explore the religious beliefs in Mozambique.

Roman Catholic Christianity 28.4%, Atheist or Agnostic 18.7%, Islam (predominately Sunni) 17.9%, Zionist Protestant Christianity15.5%, Evangelical Protestant Christianity 10.9%, Other Beliefs 7.3%, Anglican Protestant Christianity 1.3%.
