Introducing Franco Coetzer – Feb 2021
My name is Franco Coetzer and I am a 38 year-old South African called to lifelong mission in Mozambique.
As you may already know I was with Hope and Healing Africa before I joined Mark and Les in Pro-Visao Mozambique, under the umbrella of Pro-Vision International.
My previous ministry was under the cover of the free Methodist church in the village of Inhaloio. We were working with the medical staff of the hospital and the community, catering to their physical and spiritual needs. But now I feel that the Lord has led me and given me an amazing opportunity, where I can do exactly what Father called me here for.
I will be joining Pro-visao where we as a team can work to train and equip pastors and leaders, and support their calling and God-given vision. Pro-Vision International works in Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa,by walking beside churches and leaders from different backgrounds and denominations. I know the transition will be a great one, because Provision’s vision and mine are so much the same.
More about me
I have lived in Mozambique where my parents also live and work, since 2014. I am preparing to get married to Claudia, who teaches primary school in Massinga, Inhambane province. I speak Portuguese and am learning more.
Since Jesus found me and saved me, I always wanted to be a missionary and so I studied Pastoral Studies and Missions at Liberty University in the USA, knowing even then that God was calling me to Mozambique.

An exciting project
I have exciting news about a program that started in December and will continue to mid March, where Pro-Visao will be supporting a pastor, Alfredo, from Xai Xai, whose vision is to mobilize and equip National missionaries, so we will be hosting training for many pastors and leaders from Cabo Del Gado and 5 other provinces to the North. Our program will also include the pastors and leaders working around the compound do ing several chores like cleaning, maintenance and farming. Another project that is going to be amazing is where we will build a big cross and plant it on a high dune. Any problems, issues or personal worship will be taken to the cross where the pastors and leaders will have to climb an incline representing the symbolic road to Golgotha which our Savior walked on before His Crucifixion
The Vision
Please help us
This amazing training opportunity will allow some of the Cabo Delgado pastors and leaders to escape their situation in the North of Mocambique where these servants of Christ are being persecuted for their faith by Islamist extremists.
This program will give them a chance to rejuvenate their physical and spiritual wellbeing in the Presence of Father God. They will also be able to learn new ways of being prepared mentally, physically and spiritually;
fighting this spiritual battle with rejuvenated courage, strength, hope and faith. These leaders will be returning home after their studies to live out their faith among a troubled nation and people. The Light of Christ will be seen in their and their family’s lives among the people they are serving.
I appeal to you, as a co-servant in Christ as it is vital for us to have prayer cover, resources and materials for these programs to happen.
Being with us on this journey in any way you can, will be a blessing and this is my reason for inviting you to walk with me and be a part of the blessings, discoveries, fellowship, love, freedom and knowing the will of God. Would you please pray and allow Father God to lead and guide you ? Would you walk with us at Provision whether in prayer, materials, resources or personal finances in order to help fulfill the vision of more Mozambican pastors and leaders ?
Praises
The 13 students are such a blessing and are really growing in maturity in Christ.
On Saturdays we break the routine and do more practical work or outreach / evangelism practice
