Pemba Center...44 International Missionaries

Located in the northern most province of Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, Pemba is a frontier ministry center

located on the beautiful Indian Ocean about 200 miles, by air, south of the Tanzania border and about 1,000

miles north of the capital city of Maputo where the Zimpeto and Machava Centers are located.

Center 1 houses the Bible school for pastors, many of our Pemba missionaries, Mozambican staff,

and some visitors.

Center 2 houses the church, children's center, primary school, grades 1-5, some missionaries and the Iris Harvest School Complex.

The housing units used for the Iris Harvest School are located on both of the center locations.

Currently, the children’s center houses 140 children plus 16 Mozambican staff children. The day school opened

January of 2006. Pemba is directed by Dr. Heidi Baker and Associate Director Dr. Don Kantel.

Pemba Missionary Contact Information List

We respectfully request that you do not contact our missionaries by cellphone unless it is an emergency, you are a family member, or you need to talk to a missionary about an important issue. In Mozambique, a cellphone is not charged for incoming calls. However, all of our missionaries are very busy and sometimes very over extended with severe time limitations. So, please use email when possible. Always be aware of the time zone differences. In the fall and winter, Mozambique is 7 hours later than Eastern Standard Time in the US. The difference in spring and summer is 6 hours since their time does not change with the seasons as they do in North America.

Following is the information we are authorized to post in the following order: name(s), home country, email address(es), cellphone number(s), and primary area(s) of responsibility. An email address will be posted on your email program by clicking on the underlined portion of the missionary name.

Updating  and Editing will be on ongoing project, so please be patient.
