Sunshine in Mozambique

Sunshine in Mozambique

Terri Larson - Sunshine Approach Foundation

In 2011, God called my husband & me across the ocean to a land we didn’t know, to people we had no relationship, to a language we couldn’t understand. We were called to start a business in the 2nd worst nation in the world for doing business, but we knew this was God. God took 2 imperfect people & used us to bring hope, dignity, & opportunity to some of the poorest people. He gives us grace each day. The main reason I write is: to make sense of struggles, suffering, & injustice surrounding me. Writing gives me a way to process the hardness I witness, see God in the midst, & give Him glory.

    We didn’t come to Mozambique because it was our dream but because God called us. Fifteen years later, we can only stand in awe of what He has done.

  • 15 - Growing into Adolescence in the Sunshine

    In this episode, I share the bittersweet beauty of watching our Sunshine children grow—from the ache of missing their littleness to the joy of seeing them become confident, compassionate, spiritually grounded teenagers. By learning to slow down and truly be present, I’ve discovered the quiet miracles happening in their lives every day. Join me as I reflect on the gratitude, wonder, and faithfulness woven into their growing-up journey.

  • 14 - Alfredo...Welcomed, Loved, and Home

    The Sunshine family is unique in Mozambique because it is made up mostly of girls—28 out of 41 children—whilemost centers care for mostly boys. In many communities, orphaned girls are kept by extended family to help with household chores, leaving boys more commonlyplaced in children’s centers. Because of this, the boys at Sunshine were especially excited to welcome 10-year-old Alfredo. His arrival brings a refreshing balance to the home. The children are happily embracing their newestbrother.

Several students, including Cecilia and Virginia, are already progressing toward successful futures thanks to educational support.Now Nina, who has grown up in the Sunshine family since 2019, has graduated high school—an achievement reached by only 1% of Mozambican students—and is beginning university to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. Herlongtime sponsors are covering half of her university costs, but she still needs additional support. With just $80 per month, a sponsor can help Nina complete her four-year nursing program and step into her calling.

  • 12 - All I Want for Christmas Is...BARBED WIRE

    Even though it’s the Christmas season, we find our focus in Mozambique shifting toward safety because crime in Maputo and Matola is severe and ever-present. We’ve experienced repeated thefts, robberies, and even an armed home invasion at our home and the Sunshine Houses, pushing us to reinforce security with higher walls, electric fencing, and now barbed wire. Recent incidents—like the theft of our van’s battery and even our puppy—show just how persistent and resourceful thieves can be. With seven of our nine homes still needing protection, we’re hoping for support to install barbed wire so our families can feel safe and have peace of mind this Christmas.
