Evangelism In Guerra Village: Earlier this year, the Lord put 3 districts within Lichinga on my heart and He gave me a specific word for each district. Last Friday, Sept. 18, several of our missionaries and myself, went out to encourage Guerra Village (in the Sanjala district of Lichinga) to rise up and walk in their new life with Jesus Christ. Before the event, many of our missionaries joined in prayer for the outreach and the people of Guerra. It was a night of joy and holy expectation, and the presence and power of God filled the field where we did the outreach. Going into the event, I knew that the Lord was already doing mighty things through our team’s unity and prayers for the people of Guerra. Using a simple drama, I demonstrated how and why Jesus forgives and cleanses us from sin, and then gives us a new and completely different life with Him. Many children and adults received Jesus. As Victor translated in Yao (the local language), we led the children in prayer to bless the adults (who were standing behind them) and their village. We also taught the people three words, “Jesus loves you, in English. They loved that. One drunk woman, who kept trying to hug me, ended up crying out for prayer as I told her about Jesus. The team continued to pray for people as myself and others tried our best to hand out tracts. Pray that the Christians in Sanjala rise up to obey the call of God for their lives, and that they walk in love and forgiveness toward others.
We Have The Nachazi Wood: Thank you to everyone that has been praying with us concerning getting Nachazi wood to complete the inside wall of our house. The meetings with the forestry department went well. We legally purchased the wood for a good price! Most of the wood is at a wood shop getting planed (to smooth it out and bring out the colors). It has been well over a year ago that the Lord showed me a wall inside our house that was completed in wood. We are so happy, that by faith (Heb. 11:2), we contended for what the Lord said (His testimony), instead of making up our own testimony by looking for a cheaper and faster way to finish the inside wall of our house.
Thank you for praying for us. We mostly write about the activities that we are engaged in, but often the sweetest and most precious work is what the Lord is doing in our hearts. It is out of what the Lord is doing inside of us, that we are able to focus on His face and do the work of the ministry. We have been amazed lately, at how quickly the Lord has been responding to prayer and noticeably changing the atmosphere in areas of Lichinga. Pray that the spiritual barriers would be broken down, for open-doors of ministry especially among muslims, and more love in our hearts. Prayer establishes the pathways before us and helps us to stand firm in the promises of God for our lives and the nation of Mozambique. Keep praying. Great things are happening.
In His love that is so big and so great,
Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
