Portuguese is the primary language spoken in Mozambique where they will be ministering. They arrived in November of 1996 and will be studying there for 12 to 18 months. Ministry in Mozambique Ryan and Heidi will be involved in administration, church leadership training and discipleship. They will be based at the field headquarters in Maputo. Most of AEF's missionaries are in the North, where resources are limited.
Administration needs to see that they are adequately equipped.
Mozambique uses three currencies and there are no reliable banks in the North. One of the Hannah's responsibilities will include securing money for these missionaries and keeping track of the currency exchanged. Communication needs to be maintained with the 12 other fields AEF serves in as well as the international headquarters, the sending councils and the government. They will be involved in church leadership and discipleship training in their local church. Ryan will have the opportunity to teach in a seminary north of Maputo after they have been there a few years.
