The rise of Islamist extremism in the north of the country, especially in regions such as Cabo Delgado, has had a devastating impact on the lives of believers. Churches have been burned down, pastors abducted and many killed. The objective of these groups is to suppress and cause terror.
While church youth leaders are at particular risk from violent drug traffickers.
Meet "Pastor Mario"
In Mozambique, we Christians are targets of much persecution, many believers are raped, killed, several churches and houses destroyed.
PASTOR MARIO, CHURCH LEADER IN MOZAMBIQUE
What has changed this year?
Mozambique rose by two positions on this year's World Watch List. Islamist militants continued their hate campaign against Christians, which intensified after 11 Christians were executed in September 2023. In 2024, extremists launched a campaign targeting Christians called Kill Them Wherever You Find Them. Additionally, the fight against Islamist militants in Cabo Delgado was weakened after a multi-national peacekeeping mission withdrew their troops.
What does Open Doors do to help Christians in Mozambique?
Open Doors supports persecuted Christians in northern Mozambique by providing emergency aid, persecution survival training and economic empowerment projects.
How can you pray for Mozambique?

How can you pray for Mozambique?
- Pray for protection for believers in northern Mozambique as the region remains unstable and vulnerable to attacks from extremist groups.
- Please pray that God will comfort and heal Christians who are severely traumatised because of the violent attacks.
- Pray for Open Doors partners who work in Mozambique to be protected as they seek to strengthen the faith of believers.
