Special Update: Tyren is in the U.S. until the end of March. He came back to surprise his dad for his 60th birthday! Please keep him in prayer and the rest of the family that is still in Mozambique.
Testimony – Assumane Village Children’s Mid-week Ministry
For some reason, only one little boy named Castom joined Victo and I (Tyren) on this day. We felt to give him personal teaching about hearing the Holy Spirit and take him out evangelizing in the village. There were several women on the side of the road, but the Lord only directed us to an older woman. We found out that she had pain in her arms and hands, and that she couldn’t open and close her hands well. Castom joined us in praying for her. When some other kids that come to church saw us praying, they ran over to join us in praying for the woman. The woman said her arms felt a little better. We felt the need to show the love of God in a practical way, so Victo volunteered to finish cutting wood for the woman with her unsharpened axe. She uses the wood to sell and make a little money. While Victo was cutting wood, the Lord healed the woman’s hands, and she said that her arms were feeling better. Through a word of knowledge, we also prayed about issues that the woman was going through as well. Before we left, we told her about how much Jesus loved her.
Testimonies - Night Evangelism (March)
Two muslim young men listened intently as they were told about the Lord Jesus, and the reality of heaven for those that believed and truth of hell for those that don’t want to believe in Jesus Christ. They didn’t except Jesus Christ as their Savior, but one still allowed us to pray that God would help him understand more about Jesus Christ. After we gave him a hug, we sincerely thanked the two young men for their willingness to listen to the gospel, and hear about the words of life.
A drunk man who called himself prophet Moses was being loud, and refused an invitation for prayer. But, I prayed for him anyway and he removed his hat as I prayed for him. Nothing else about him appeared to change, but he was willing to stay with me and he let me put my arm around him (I didn’t want him to walk away). I began to cry out for the Lord's mercy and help. The Lord is good and merciful, and so I didn't want to let the drunk man walk away. Then the Holy Spirit moved in a mighty way, and many of the young men of the group joined in praying for him. The power and presence of God came upon that drunk man. The drunk man quieted down. On his own accord (without anyone telling him or helping him), he bowed his head, and lifted up his hands in surrender to Jesus. I led him in praying to receive Jesus as his Savior, and he also repented of drinking. He confessed he was not the prophet Moses, but that he was a child of God. When I told him to go home, he quietly left saying, "I am a child of God". Hallelujah!!
Because of the loudness of the drunk man (and probably due to my crying out to God, too), two police men came to the area while we were praying. When they saw us, they realized the drunk man was being prayed for. They asked another group that was evangelizing with us if we believed in setting people free. They waited for me to finish praying for the drunken man, and then asked me to talk with them and pray for them as well. Jesus is Lord, indeed!
Please continue to pray for Assumane Village and the people of Lichinga, Mozambique. The presence of the Lord is upon the area, and Jesus is giving us an open door to preach the gospel and demonstrate the love of God to all sorts of people. We hope these testimonies will encourage you to believe God wherever you live, and also encourage you to continue to pray for the work of God here in Mozambique.
Love and more love,
Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
