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!

 |
| 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,
Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
