The Lord's Work In Lichinga

We’ve been having a wonderful time since we arrived back home in Lichinga. We were very glad to see the children and the rest of the family. We spent most of the first week re-setting the bedroom for home school (we had to pack all our belongings when we left for the U.S. so others could use the room), building bunk beds and a full size bed by hand. The beds and a lot of items in our house needed to be moved to the new site being built for the children’s center. We also arrived just in time for our first taste of fried critters – termites, wasps roasted in garlic and onion. Yum!!


While in America, the Lord gave us vision for increased city evangelism. The Lord has blessed us with a bicycle and a motorbike for evangelism (Hallelujah!!!). So you know what we’ll be up to, here’s an overview of the main areas of ministry that the Lord has given to us.

City Evangelism
Jesus loves the market area. Tyren will be spending extra time in the main market preaching the gospel and believing God for signs and wonders. Demonstration of the mercy of God will also be a major part of evangelism as I “stop for the one” the Lord puts in front of me. The Lord has brought several souls to Jesus in the past week. Please pray for them, that they may remain committed to Christ.

Village Evangelism
More than bringing souls to Christ, we believe that the Lord wants his people free from oppression, darkness, and self-rule, and released into their glorious freedom and inheritance as sons and daughters of God. Continue to pray as Tyren and other missionaries preach and teach the gospel in the villages.

Children Ministry
We will continue to engage in ministry with our children being cared for at our center. Tiffany and another missionary are holding Sunday School for the Lichinga children and the village children. Soon, Tyren will began traveling to Asumani village to minister to the children on a regular basis.

Tiffany continues to homeschool Amerel and Isaiah, and she also serves in the kitchen which allows her to build wonderful relationships with the women and minister to them.

Lichinga is our home and the Lord is pleased to have us here with Him. We’ll be here until the Lord’s work is done. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
