CCM Gaza - Mozambican Christian Council
The Mozambican Christian Council (MCC) is a religious organisation that brings together those Christian churches in Mozambique that accept its statutes and do the same kind of work. MCC has its main office in Maputo and has provincial delegations in the country’s provinces as well as representations in some districts. In this case the representations in Inhambane and Gaza provinces are in Maxixe and Chibuto, respectively.
