Happy New Year!!! 2015

Happy New Year!  The Lord has been doing much during this first month of the year.  If you haven't seen our Newsletter, entitled "Celebration of Love",  please click here to view it.

Let us give you an update of some things that have been going on:

DEC 2014              Amerel went through Assumane to hand out shoes and clothing as part of the "Shoe project''.  She enjoyed “walking as Jesus walked”, experiencing His presence while giving, helping the kids and adults, and seeing the smiles on people’s faces as they tried on their shoes.

 

DEC 2014              Since our kids were on school break, Tiffany and I had time to do activities with the kids from the girls' house at our center.  We made cookies, caramel corn, and tie-dyed banners.  

JAN 2015              Due to heavy rains, flooding has destroyed and blocked major roads coming/going into our area, Lichinga is running on a generator to produce limited power (many areas of the city are without power), many people cannot mill maize (their main staple food), and phone networks aren’t working well.  Please pray that the believers will be humble and be filled with His wisdom to be a light on the hill to those around us.  In the midst of natural disasters that impact thousands of people, we know the Lord is working for the good. Romans 8:28, Isaiah 60:1-2.

Used dye, water and salt to make tie-dye banners with heart shapes

 

 JAN 2015              Testimonies

·         In December, the Lord resurrected a little bird and told me it was a sign of Him restoring dreams, ideas, plans, etc. that have been lost, forgotten, and put to the side.  This month, we received a married couple visiting our center from Brazil.  The wife is 77 years old and the husband is turning 80 next month.  The Lord gave them a dream where they saw Mozambique and received love for the people here who they never met.  They finally were able to come to Mozambique this month, fulfilling a dream they had 35 years ago!  They came preaching and ready to serve the Lord.  Our God is awesome!

·         One of the disciples in Assumane prayed for a child who couldn’t speak, and the child began to say, “Daddy.”

·         Amerel had a sore throat.  She prayed, and the Lord took it away.

·        We baptized Chayah Grace on Jan 15.  She said, “Jesus told me it was time for me to be baptized.”  So, she stopped being afraid to go under the water, and also made sure we didn’t delay in baptizing her!

·        We’ve been praying and believing God for greater kingdom impact in the everyday life of the city.  Since then, two cars have hit my motorbike.  One man did it intentionally while I was holding my motorbike.  My motorbike is fine, and so am I.  This is so encouraging!  God is moving and the atmosphere is being impacted.  (No, I don’t like people hitting my motorbike.  But, it does give me opportunities to make sure my heart is right with God and full of love for the people He wants me to touch with the gospel.  And, yes, we prayed for no more accidents!)

In love with Jesus,

Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
