Mwani of Mozambique

Mwani of Mozambique These people may be called Mwani, NaMwani, or NaMuane. They are quite isolated, and trace their ancestry to the island of Ibo, near the coast of Mozambique. Ibo island was the scene of struggle between Arabs and Portuguese, resulting in much destruction. The people use the Mwani language in the home, Swahili for trading, and Portuguese in the schools and government. Ministry Obstacles Scripture resources are needed in the language of the Mwani, although the Jesus film and Gospel radio are available. Outreach Ideas Gospel radio may be used to communicate the Gospel of grace to these people who are committed to working their way into God's favor.
