Poverty, the AIDS/HIV crisis, landmines and lack of potable water—these are some of the everyday problems faced by the people of Mozambique. But they are not alone. The United Methodist Church, with 180,000 members in Mozambique and more worldwide, is confronting these concerns and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. United Methodist News Service writer Kathy L. Gilbert and photographer Mike DuBose traveled to places in Mozambique being changed by the church’s love. In their six-part Close Up series you will see the struggles and triumphs of “Mozambique: Land of Contrasts.”
