Kapasseni Mission Work
The Kapasseni Project was formed in 1998 to assist with the regeneration of the village of Kapasseni. One of the requests from the village chief was to provide spiritual support and in 2006, the first worship services of the Lutheran Church Concordia of Mozambique were held in Kapasseni village, the township of Sena, Murrema, Mbueza, Chemba, Mpango, Zondane and Samboneta.
The Kapasseni Committee in Canada has completed its mission to assist with the training of 8 students who were ordained as Pastors on August 9 2015.
Kapasseni-born Joseph Alfazema answered the Chief's request to provide spiritual support and studied at Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines, Ontario in Canada. Joseph was ordained at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Victoria, British Columbia. He was called by Lutheran Church Canada in June 2006 to serve as a mission Pastor to the village of Kapasseni and surrounding areas. Joseph was uniquely suited for working in the Kapasseni area, as he knows the people, their customs, and the language, and is a respected elder in the community. He served for 5 years and then retired and now lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The mission work continues through the newly ordained Pastors who know the language and serve the churches that were started by Pastor Joseph.
