Ministry and Visiting U.S.A.

Hospital Ministry
Tania, Melissa and Rachel, missionaries at our center, are being involved in our weekly hospital ministry led by Victo. Being full of the Spirit and with a simple hug, we’ve watched emotional healing take place as one of the female missionaries hug a local Mozambican woman. Every week we pray for healing and salvations. At times, the Lord has given Tania a word of knowledge concerning sickness, or another a prophetic word concerning a person’s life and what the Lord desires to do with them. Even more enjoyable, is leaving a room full of patients and seeing the Lord restore joy and hope in the hearts of men and women (sometimes without being able to speak their language, Yao language).

Pray for more of God’s love and power within the Lichinga Hospital, that the Lord enlightens the darkness, and breaks the imprisonment of fear, sickness and spiritual blindness in the hearts of many that we encounter. Pray that the Christian staff realize their full potential in Christ, and begin to be used by God to demonstrate His kingdom on a greater level.

U.S.A. 2010
Jesus is wonderful. Please pray for us as we make plans to visit the U.S. this year, June – August. On the way, we’ll be spending a few weeks in Maputo to apply for Chayah’s passport, U.S. birth certificate and social security. Pray that the Lord will open doors to share and minister in churches concerning His kingdom and love, and the wonderful things He is doing in Mozambique. If you would like us to share at your church or for other events, please contact us early (email us) and let us know.

The Home Front
If true revival begins in the heart of the individual, then one’s family must be among the first to experience it. We thank God for drawing our hearts into deeper worship (as a family), and for being challenged by the Holy Spirit, ever so gently, to continually step deeper into the greater freedom and transforming power of love. The more we choose to love, the more we laugh at things that we used to think were problems that needed to directly and immediately be dealt with. (For instance, our anointed children decided to fill up a little container with spit, and use it as “oil” to oil the chains on their little toy motorcycles on our couch!) Of course we told them that it wasn’t a wise thing to do, but it was quite funny.

On 2/25, our beloved little Chayah turned 8 months. She can sit up by herself, but hasn’t quite stepped into crawling. She does find a way to pull herself off of her cushioned mat onto the cement floor to slap it with her hands (she likes drumming), or sneak an occasional lick if we don’t catch her.

We love you and hope to see you in June.

With love and joy,

Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
