Dear Brothers and sisters, Mozambique has been for over 470 years a Roman Catholic country and for the first two decades of independence (1975-1990), Mozambique was a Marxist (Communist) country. Under the Portuguese Roman Catholicism and Marxism, there was no religious liberty.
From 1990, the New Democratic Constitution has granted Religious Freedom, and we are so thankful to God for that. However, there is still lack of a specific law on Freedom of Religion and Worship in Mozambique, churches are registered under the law of association as "associations". In 2012, MMD Global has brought together Mozambican Pastors in "Pastoral Coffee" meetings and they have undertaken to draft a Proposal of Religious Liberty.
The proposal is ready and all the necessary supporting signatures are ready. We have contacted the National Parliament and we are waiting for the date of submission. Please pray so that we can find grace in the process and that the parliament can debate and have the law approved so that the church will have better legal framework to operate. God bless you, Por favor, passe a mensagem.
