Associação Moçambicana dos Advogados Cristãos (AMAC) or Mozambican Association of Christian Lawyers, was established in October 2012 as a registered non-governmental and not-for-profit organization with the objective to promote access to justice for the poor and needy through social programs and projects in the areas of legal assistance, legal aid, legal representation, legal education and research, adopting and practicing Christian principles for social benefit. They were officially recognized by the government in March 2013. Isaiah 1:17 is AMAC’s chosen Bible verse: “Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow.” AA’s national leader in Mozambique is Mateus Mosse.
