A testimony from Genesio and his family in Mozambique.

Genesio’s companion, Teresinha, at their vendor stand.

Genesio is 25 years old and was born in the Gogone district of Quelimane, Mozambique. He had a childhood much like most of his peers – he attended school until the 5th grade when his mother died. His father also abandoned him to live with another woman, so Genesio then grew up with his unemployed, widowed aunt. His daily life was not easy. Later on, he started living with his companion Teresinha. Teresinha doesn’t know how old she is as she didn’t go to school and does not have a birth certificate. They had four children together, two of whom passed away. Through one of these losses, the local church reached out to Genesio and Teresinha. As a result, the family came to know Jesus as Lord

and Saviour. Due to the family’s vulnerability, they were selected to be part of Orphan’s Promise KFT (Keeping Families Together) project. They remain active members in the congregation.

The aunt that took Genesio in now serves as a community health member through Life Child and is making a positive change in the community.

It is wonderful to see how this family’s circumstances have changed today and to see them happy. Genesio and his family are in a very different situation now from when they lost their two children. Today, as a part of their local church, they are learning to care for their children and family in a healthy way. They recently shared with us that their two children are well and growing. They are expecting another child and are incredibly thankful to God for changing their lives and their story.
