Assumane Church
(Testimony from a woman in our church) A man was paralyzed on one side of his body. He couldn’t move his arm or leg. People used witchcraft, even cutting slits in his arms and applying traditional medicine and practices. Nothing worked. The Lord spoke to a woman who goes to our church (she can’t read or write). She prayed for the man, and the next day, the man was walking and eating by himself. Imagine the shame and embarrassment that the Lord removed from this man’s life. He can actually bathe himself now! The people told her that she must be a powerful witch doctor (someone who calls forth evil spirits (seriously), and works all types of “traditional” medicine). She confessed that Jesus healed the person, not her.

| Different kids may visit our church. They all are so beautiful. |
After teaching about the Good Samaritan, we asked if anyone needed prayer. An older girl stood up and confessed that she needed to love God more. We prayed for her. Moments like these leave impressions on my heart. The hearts of kids are being touched and changed by Jesus Christ.
Hospital Ministry
Mandy, one of the new missionaries at our center took part in the Hospital ministry this week. We met a lady there who was kind of “standoffish” and not showing interest in communicating with us. Mandy gave her a hug, and immediately the woman smiled, opened her heart and began sharing things with us. She was a Muslim, but wished Mandy a successful time in her work with the Lord. The Hospital ministry is a mercy ministry. When love is received, people change and are even healed.
Prison Ministry
After teaching the prisoners about hearing God’s voice, we waited on the presence of the Lord. The Lord began to speak to the prisoners individually, and manifest Himself to them. It was a new and very big moment for many of the prisoners. One person heard God speak to him, another received mental images, and others were filled with joy. They understood and had experienced that the Father loves to speak to His children, and that they could hear His voice.

| Celebrating graduation! |
A lot of things happened this year in homeschool that took time away from the normal schedule. We had a baby, a 6-week visit from Grandma, 4 trips to Malawi, a 2 week visit from Tiffany’s sister, and numerous other things that occur as part of ministry here. But, my wife was still able to successfully skip Isaiah a grade level, and start teaching Chayah as well. We recently not only had a graduation for the kids, but we had a surprise graduation, full of gifts for the teacher as well! As my wife tirelessly gave herself to the Lord and her family, we saw the Lord graduating her into a whole new level, spiritually, in her own life. Hallelujah!
Love,
Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
