ASSOCIATION "MUNGU WA MAHABA"

"Mungu Wa Mahaba" in the language of Mayotte (the shimaoré dialect) means "God Is Love". The association is a ministry of the Biblical Baptist church of Mayotte.

THE BIRTH OF THE ASSOCIATION

Facing to this religious barriers that immediately close the doors to the Gospel and to the great material need of this country, the few opportunities that we have had to talk about Christ have been with those to whom we have offered some help, as we have been able to do.

Having the great opportunity to proclaim the Gospel of Christ through demonstrations of kindness, (“Let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” Matt. 5:16), the Lord put the vision of this association in our heart, that God may be glorified among the people (Muslims) of Mayotte and its surroundings, and that the Gospel may be proclaimed as has never done before around these region.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE ASSOCIATION

  • The people who lives around this area closed to the Gospel, need to know the Love of God, and the way they can see this love more directly and sooner is through the material help offered by the association “God is Love”.
  • Where there is A GREAT NEED, there is always A GREAT OPPORTUNITY to show and proclaim God’s Love.
  • THE PURPOSE of this association is to Glorify God and to present the Gospel of Christ. The MEANS to achieve it is through social actions. The GOALS aimed are: to win souls for Christ, to take the Gospel and found churches mainly in Mayotte and the other Muslim islands.
  • We are aware that our vision will require a lot of efforts, a lot of help, big investments, detailed planning and organization, but above all, a lot of prayer and much faith. We know that this is something too big, but with God’s help nothing is impossible… as William Carey said, “Expect great things from God; Attempt great things for God”.
