Celebrate With Us! June 1, was our 5th year anniversary since the day we entered Mozambique. From our teenage years, we both wanted to be missionaries, but truly didn't know the extent of what that meant until we started serving overseas, June 1, 2007. Now, 5 years later, we are so much different, have matured greatly (the process is still going), and through the Lord's great mercy we have done things we've never dreamed of. Our God has been good to us. We are missionaries, and are looking forward to many more years of serving Jesus Christ in the nations.
Here are a few photos of 'Then and Now'.

| We only had two kids (Isaiah and Amerel)...and thought that that was it. (August 2007, graduation day from the Iris Holy Given Missions school, now called the Harvest School, in Pemba, Mozambique) |

| Home in Lichinga, Mozambique 2007. |
 |
| We had to make our own beds (2007, Lichinga) |
 |
| We all slept in one room that was very crowded (2007 - 2008). Tiffany also held homeschool in the same room. |
 |
| Suddenly, 6 years after Isaiah, we started having kids again. Now we have 4. What a blessing! (Left to right: Amerel, Berasia, Isaiah and Chayah) |
 |
| Now we live in our own house at the Iris Lichinga Center. It's nice to have more room for our family of 6. |
 |
| We've evangelized and ministered in streets, stores, bars, discos, villages and churches. Many have been saved and healed. God has been good! We minister in Mozambique and Tanzania, and have evangelized in Malawi. (Above: Photos of Iris Tanzanian Pastors from the 2011 'Love, Glory and Honor Pastoral Seminar' in Mwanza, Tanzania) |
Thank you for partnering with us and for caring so much about us these past 5 years. Your love, prayers, giving, and friendship means so much! All that the Lord enabled us to do thus far, would not have been possible without you. In grace and great expectation, we look forward to the greater things the Lord has prepared for us in the years ahead. Let's go forth together! Many blessings and love to you all. For His glory alone.
Serving with a passion for His presence,
Tyren and Tiffany Haynes (and Amerel, Isaiah, Chayah, & Berasia)
