Tear Funds, the British NGO, conducts a Church research with different denominations in Mozambique to find out what has been done on HIV AIDS matter. The research was done by Sister Carina, a Mozambique Tear Funds representative who travelled from north to south  Mozambique meeting with different Church Leaders.  A total of 41 Churches, 14 faith based NGOs, 6 Net working Organizations and 6 researches & political Organization were enrolled.  

The Evangelical Lutheran Churches in Southern Africa(ELCSA) have said  'goodbye' to two retiring Bishops in its fold who have served the church in different capacities for many years.

They are Bishop L. Sibiya from the South Eastern Diocese commonly known as the SED, covering the KwaZulu Natal Province who  is replaced by a new Bishop P. P. Buthelezi.  The consecration took place at the Durban International Centre, marked with a worship service backed up with musical renditions.

Church denominations in Mozambique have begun to feel the impact of the recent campaign on HIV  AIDS mounted in 2007 by the Renasce Esperanca  as one of the projects ” AIDS in Bible context” of the Evangelical Lutheran Church AIDS program.

The project which involved visiting and campaign in different Churches, meetings and workshops with church leaders from conservative and independent denominations to encourage chuches to break the silence and speak about HIV AIDS has now recorded huge success as they are now able to talk on the pandemic during their sermons. One of the denominations called PEDRA VISTA CHURCH ( Rock view Church) has gone an extra mile to ask VCT (Voluntary Counseling and Testing) to test their Christians status on HIV in the Church.
