Zimpeto Centre, Maputo, Mozambique

Ewerts' Bio:

The Ewerts left their home in Burlington, Ontario, Canada in August of 2002, to live at the Zimpeto Children's centre in Mozambique, where they plan on ministering indefinitely. Their first trip to Africa was during the floods in 2000. With subsequent visits, they felt God's call to serve under Heidi and Rolland Baker.

God has put an incredible passion in the Ewerts' hearts to help mentor and equip the pastors in the unprecedented revival that is taking place in Mozambique. Pastors come to the school, often with little or no biblical background, but with an incredible love and hunger for God. John and Sandra teach in the Bible school, which is located at the Zimpeto Children's centre. They also serve in many capacities to assist the pastors practically during their stay at the school. Since these men are actively leading churches that have been recently birthed, the school is set up to run in three-month segments, enabling them to study the four levels offered at different times, so that the churches they oversee are not left without leadership for lengthy periods of time.

The Ewerts' first year with Iris was amazing. John and Sandra were overwhelmed by the love God gave them for the pastors. One real difficulty was with acquisition of the Portuguese language. As a result, in this, their second year, following a trip to Canada to initiate landed immigrant status (known as D.I.R.E.), John and Sandra have decided to take language lessons in the city of Maputo. Please pray that God gives them a quick grasp of the language so that they will be able to communicate on a heart to heart level with the pastors they so love.

The Ewerts' have three grown children living in Canada and the USA,
along with a daughter-in-law, son-in-law and a grandson.
