Seminary Scholarships
Mozambique is home to the Ricatla Seminary, Cambine Seminary and Gondola Training Center. Since the seminaries' establishment in 1920 and the training center's founding in 2008, all three institutions have received students from a variety of regions and church denominations. As the country faces war and numerous social problems arise, pastors trained from these theological centers make a great difference. They act as the hands and feet of Christ, preaching, teaching and sharing in social work in the community including counseling and community activism.
There are costs to providing this essential training. The Mozambique Initiative, in partnership with these institutions, provides scholarships for 42 students per school year. Your gift ensures students can continue learning and growing in their call to ministry and can then, in turn, go out and serve communities in Mozambique.
