Outreach to Mozambique

 

Karen and Bill Butt

Mozambique -- a country still battling the vestiges of colonialism and a brutal internal war that lasted 17 years. Recent droughts and floods have added to the woes of a people left with little in the way of resources to rebuild their lives. Yet, in spite of this, the people of Mozambique have continued to tackle their problems head on. In this documentary the United Church’s partners tell the story of their beloved country and its commitment to, against all odds, shake the shackles of repression, globalization and poverty.

Karen and Bill Butt, members of Faith United Church in Woodstock, are United Church of Canada overseas personnel from London Conference working in Mozambique. They write a short letter every two weeks to share some of their experiences with friends and colleagues in London Conference and elsewhere.
