Sign for the Nyarugusu refugee camp
in Tanzania
|
This week, I,
Tyren will be heading out for the Tanzania 2013 Fire Conference: Love Never Fails (May 9 – May 23). I was told that at least 200 Iris pastors and
elders are preparing for this event which will take place within the refugee camp. There will be teaching, ministry for healing
and impartation, and times of evangelism to preach the gospel and love the
least of these among the least of these in the refugee camp. I am already being stretched by the
logistics, scheduling, resources and the unseen challenges of holding a
conference within a refugee camp. But,
I am excited to see how the Lord moves as we stand in His will to bring
Christ to thousands.
If you are still considering donating, please send it in time to be used
for the conference. Details on sending donations are below.
Testimony - The Presence of Love
The Lord
moves my wife in prayer and worship and prophetic intercession for other
nations and people groups that we have never met. (Her intercession is a very important part of
our ministry and the unseen part of many workings of God that I’ve experienced
on the mission field.) Last Thursday, my wife cried out to the Lord
for Lichinga, especially Muslims, and asked the Lord to see the fruit of her
prayers. That same day, I went to town to meet with a
mechanic. Suddenly, the presence of God’s
love was everywhere, as though His love was the only thing that existed. At the mechanic's, I met an old man who had
pain in his leg. I gave him a word of
knowledge concerning the love of God for his life, and then I prayed for
him. The old man walked a little bit and
found that his pain was completely gone!
Then, the old man told me his
abdominal area was hurting. This time,
the Lord showed the man himself just how much He loved him. At the
word of the Lord, I told him to turn around 3 times, in faith, saying, "Jesus
loves me." The man did so, and instantly,
all of his pain left! He was in shock and
looked like he was about to cry. A Muslim
who had watched all of this said, “I need to walk like you are walking.” I didn’t understand, so he eventually said,
“I need to change my life and get my heart right, and you need to tell me
how.” The man surrendered his life to
the Lord Jesus Christ right there. Then,
his friend told me, “I need the same thing he does.” He, also a Muslim, surrendered himself to the
Lord. I encouraged the two new believers to start attending
one of our center’s church services on Sunday, and to be baptized in water. Two days later, another man at the shop, who’s
Christian, told me that the 2 men returned to work saying that they had such
peaceful sleep after receiving Christ. It was amazing to see how the Lord revealed His
glory in such a way that two Muslims surrendered their lives to Christ as a
result of the Lord directly revealing Himself to their hearts.
We pray that
the Lord will reveal His love and glory even more during our Fire Conference: Love
Never Fails at the refugee camp. Please continue to pray! Your prayers play an important part in what God wants to pour out during the conference.
