Our story, our calling, our family
Our story
Musa received Christ as a teenager at his home church in eSwatini (then Swaziland) and soon sensed God’s call to preach. He trained at the Swaziland Nazarene Bible College, began pastoring while still a student, and later served as a pastor, district youth and lay-training leader, and a high-school teacher.
Prudence grew up in the Church of the Nazarene in eSwatini, trained as a maths and science teacher, and later studied instructional design. She taught in high school before beginning full-time missionary service.
Musa and Prudence met through the Nazarene youth movement and married in September 1995. They have three daughters.
