The Beira Mozambique Temple was announced in April 2021 by President Nelson.

“Temples are a vital part of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in its fulness,” he said then. “Ordinances of the temple fill our lives with power and strength available in no other way. We thank God for those blessings.”

Nearly 32,000 Latter-day Saints reside in Mozambique, meeting in 80 congregations.

This will be the first temple in the country. Another, the Maputo Mozambique Temple, was announced in 2024.
