Call for Destiny Conference

The Call for Destiny conference our center held in August was part of the prophetic “Wake Up and Dream” word the Lord has been pouring into the heart of Tiffany and me.  I felt the Lord wanted to release general keys to people that would allow them to walk faithfully in their destiny.  The plan was to invite, at most, 12 people—after they completed 8 weeks of Iris's Harvest School for missions training in Pemba where they would experience healings and the miraculous, teaching, and ministry from people (some quite well-known) from around the world.  "Why would they come here to Lichinga?" one of our missionaries asked.  Although there were many issues (most beyond our control) that could have caused us to abort a dream, I'm glad that our center decided to have the conference.  It was amazing!

Our whole center joined our guests for a lunch feast.

 We ended up having one person from the school attend (a brave soul from England!), and one missionary couple serving in Mozambique from Switzerland.  All 3 enjoyed the conference; and best of all, they met with Jesus.  Our guest from England wrote, “It's one thing when you hear a teaching in a school (like at Pemba), but doing life with someone who embodies a teaching is something else!  I was inspired by seeing people who were used so powerfully by God yet still heard His voice in ways that I could relate to.  I was inspired because they weren't 'hard working' in the sense that I was used to, but their ministry still made a big impact.  I think this is because they prioritize seeking God and obeying His voice, rather than simply trying to do 'good things'.  They were also very prophetic and I really appreciated words they shared with me during my time there.”

We all prayed and prophesied over our 3 guests.

We served the attendees with teachings, home cooked meals, a quiet atmosphere in the presence of God, individual prophetic ministry to each attendee, and various ministry opportunities. God birthed our Lichinga center into a momentum and reality that is allowing us to walk in our own destiny as a center – pursuing holiness, living in intimacy, and dwelling in the presence as a daily lifestyle in everything we do—and allowing the overflow to bring salvation and transformation to our community.

Now, since we are awake and dreaming, people on our team are already talking about hosting meetings for Mozambican churches (all in Portuguese), hosting meetings and opening them up to anyone around the world, inviting speakers, and more.  Actually, we all are quite serious.  The kingdom kids are awake, and there’s no telling how they will be captured by the heart of the Father to bring His dreams to earth.  This is a part of what waking up and dreaming is all about!

Love, Tyren and Tiffany Haynes

Assumane Fun Day is a day to have fun, and simply love people in our village community (especially the many who are of other religions) without any other agenda.  I'm always amazed at how much more my own eyes open to Jesus' love for people when my only agenda is just to love.  All of the missionaries and kids from our center, along with the attendees from the Call for Destiny conference, joined in the fun.

We played some new games, challenged people with contests, and gave others opportunities to do things they've never done before.  For most events people were rewarded with chocolate, and in special cases, soda.  Of course, we ended the fun with the much desired chicken chase:  the first person who catches the live, running chicken in the open field gets to keep it!  We did this for both the men and the women.  Enjoy the photos!

Annelisa painting the nails of a lady in the village.  Nail painting is a community event.  It's great to see the women and younger girls paint each others' nails.  We especially enjoy seeing the adults spend time with the younger children.

 

Others painted their own nails.  It's fun to learn about what people like and what they consider fashionable.

Adults handed out stickers to all of the kids.  Mickey and Minnie Mouse were placed everywhere - on foreheads, cheeks, and arms!

Both adults and kids loved jump roping together.

The crowd was laughing all during this event.  Both women and men raced to see who could drink the juice out of a baby bottle the fastest!

There were quite a few water balloons surviving as the distance increased.

Poor little chicken!  It thinks it's free to take a leisurely walk.

Then, it ran for its life...but it had no chance!

In the midst of the dust, the victor emerges with his night's meal.

Thank you for praying for us and for the Lord's work in Mozambique.  Pray that we might move mightily in the unconditional love of Jesus Christ in every way that He longs to express the power of His awesome salvation and love for all people!


 Love,
