Sena of Mozambique

The Sena people live in central Mozambique where the Zambezi River runs through a varying terrain of swamps, woodlands and savannah. Intense suffering from past persecution and natural disasters has produced a spiritual hunger which has seen the church double in size between 1988 and 2000. Among the Sena, numerous denominations are working and it is estimated that 40 percent of the population calls itself Christian. The remaining population participates in traditional religious practices.

  • Praise God that the Sena New Testament has received a stamp of approval from the Scripture reviewers’ committee. Pray that the team will continue to achieve their translation goals and reach milestones.

  • Pray that John’s Gospel and Revelation, two crucial Bible books, will be brought closer to publication through the efforts of the consultant.

  • Praise God that local speakers are showing an interest in His vernacular Word, evident in the popularity of the printed copies. Pray that many Sena people will put the translated Scriptures to personal and practical use.
