Project Profile

Sena NT | Sena

Sena 2

The Sena people are located in central Mozambique where the Zambezi River runs through varying terrain of swamps, woodlands and savannah. The Sena people are nearly all subsistence farmers, growing mainly rice and corn, which they supplement with millet, cassava, sweet potatoes and fruit.

The church continues to grow rapidly, but believers in every denomination mix Christianity with their traditional religion. This is understandable because the Bible is not available in the local language and pastors, who do not understand the Portuguese translation very well, often misunderstand cultural issues and biblical doctrines. Church leaders have expressed a strong desire to have a completed New Testament as soon as possible.
