Mozambique 2026

Pleasant Valley has the wonderful opportunity to yet again visit Mozambique, Africa July 29 - August 9! Our team will primarily be working with "Sybil's Kids" in the town of Chokwe. We will be putting on a special day where we will make crafts, play games and have a ton of fun together! There will be an opportunity to visit some of the Sybil's Kids families and we will get to hear how they're doing, encourage them and spend some time praying for them. The team will spend time at Sybil's school, and will support Sybil in anything else she would like us to be a part of during our week in Mozambique.
