The missionaries are sponsored in part by our church. It looks like the region you would be traveling to is in central Mozambique which I have to admit I don't know much about (if it is much different to northern Mozambique or not). The mission team that we visited is called the Makua team (www.makuateam.org) - Makua because the local language and tribe is called Makua. Having seen the area - especially the smaller towns and villages - I would definitely suggest making some contact with people there (i.e. missionaries) prior to traveling. In the larger cities (we flew through Jo-burg to Pemba) there are some hotels but even medium sized cities like Montepuez didn't seem to have much for tourism like hotels and the like. Also transportation is an issue - you definitely would want a truck of some sort. Where we were at even major roads could be dirt roads. If you need more local knowledge I would suggest getting in contact with the Makua team. Let me know if you have other questions. In Him, Robert Berger Hi Kirsten,

Approxamatily 3 hours north of Biera, near the town of Gorongosa. I have been doing a some research of the country and mission trips there. I am having a hard time with it. How did you get started? I do not plan on doing anythig about it for a couple of years of so, but would like to at least put together some ideas for a trip. Did you go through your church, or with a mission team of some sort? thank you for any information you could give. Would it also be possible to stay in contact for future question? Thanks you, Kirsten Hawkins Dear Robert and Allison,
