Bible workers at Impact Mozambique sites are camping on-site to intensify door-to-door witnessing in the campaign's final two weeks. In Vilankulo's Última Hora site, three young evangelists share how the approach is deepening their ministry ahead of the May 23 mass baptism.
Bible workers supporting Impact Mozambique 2026 are dedicating the final two weeks of the campaign to intensified one-on-one witnessing across the country's evangelistic sites. Of the more than 800 active sites running under the "Christ Our Hope" theme, a growing number are seeing bible workers set up camp on-site to deepen community engagement.
In Vilankulo, Inhambane Province, bible workers across five sites have pitched tents at their campaign locations. They report that camping on-site makes door-to-door witnessing easier, allowing them to move directly from the venue into surrounding neighbourhoods without the daily commute.
At the Última Hora site, three young bible workers are among those who have made the campaign their temporary home. Olavia Fernando, 27, says staying at the site has changed the rhythm of her ministry.
It takes me away from the disturbances I would have at home," she explains, adding that being based at the preaching site allows her to focus more deeply on the work and conduct more bible studies than she would manage from home.
For 22-year-old Tiago Setimane, the motivation is rooted in the Great Commission of Matthew 28.
"I am following what Jesus has sent me to do," he says, adding that people must hear the good news of Christ.
Equissadio Quamba, 26, says the language barrier has shaped how he approaches personal witnessing. Working with a partner who can translate has made a difference, and while some community members were initially hesitant, many have eased into bible studies over time.
"Sometimes we don't find people, and consistency becomes a problem," he acknowledges.
The three share a common prayer for the upcoming mass baptism on May 23, hoping their students will be among those entering the baptismal pool. For Equissadio, the prayer goes further, that his students will one day become evangelists themselves.
Vilankulo district pastor Simião Chauque says the proposal for bible workers to camp at the sites was warmly received by the local organising committee. He adds that church members have rallied behind the initiative with practical support.
"The church members were so happy, and they are donating food and monetary contributions for the upkeep of the bible workers camping at the sites," he says. "I am very happy as a pastor to see people committing themselves to preach the gospel.
