It has been difficult to get updates from Deanna, but we feel very blessed when I do receive any news at all from her. This is an email we just received from her to share with you.
WEEK 1
I have now been here for one whole week! Because the Lord’s ways are higher than our ways, this adventure has been so different than I thought it would be. There have already been ups and downs and miracles and sufferings. The more I press in to the presence of God, the more I realize that I don’t know anything haha not even why I am here and I love it!! Its so great being clueless and knowing that my Daddy God will pull through with Glory! I am learning even more how faithful God is. I am so thankful that He does not move based on our feelings. When I don’t feel the presence in worship, it does not mean that He is not moving. He is doing wonderful things even when I am so unaware.
I am so blessed here..I’ll talk about some of the highlights of the week. I’ve already heard some awesome speakers including Randy Clark about four times, Will Hart (from Furious Love), Mattheus from Holland, and Heidi and Rolland A LOT! I got a hug from Heidi YAY! Haha
Children’s Day:
My 2nd or 3rd day here was Children’s Day. It is a HUGE holiday here in Mozambique. A whole day to celebrate the children! Yay! There was so much Joy in worship that morning. After that we had an Amazing meal of chicken, rice, and cabbage (still has been the best meal ive had). We then celebrated the kids! Over 4,000 children got a meal of chicken and a cold coke (their favorite)! As I hugged on those children, I FELL IN LOVE! The rest of the day all I could say was “I’m so in love I could die right now!” and I meant it! Haha! I really felt like I was wrapping my arms around my true love, Jesus. What a miracle! Haha and you all know my human extent of compassion. I’m thankful for Heaven downloads.
Weekend Conference in Mieze:
Well that weekend we went about 20 min away to a conference in Mieze with Randy Clark and Heidi and Rolland Baker. Ill keep the complaining short and say..it was the opposite of children’s day for me. I was quite miserable and wanted to leave the whole time I was camping out there. I needed grace so badly for my lack of compassion, will to eat the food, lack of sleep, frustration with the language barrier and the heat! Well Gods just bigger than all that stuff haha..Friday night so many people were healed! A baby was blind in one eye and some of my friends saw it turn from white to brown and it could see! I was with a group praying for an older blind woman. We just had so much compassion for her the longer we prayed. After about 30 min, we brought her on stage to Heidi since that baby could now see. We were asked to soak her in prayer while Heidi prayed for someone else. When she finally came back over, she grabbed the woman by the hand and gave her a deep hug full of love. She then asked her if she could see, and the woman said she could see the bright light and that she had never seen light before!!! She then accepted Jesus! Even though she still couldn’t see, there was such joy released in her salvation! The next night a boy who had never walked before was healed and walked across the stage! Also a baby who was blind and could not stand or walk was totally healed, saw his mom for the first time, and walked to her! Then a torrential downpour of rain fell. In Mozi if rain falls, it is the Ultimate sign of God’s presence! We found out today that it was not scheduled to rain until November, and it ONLY rained on the conference!! Not even a mile away was bone dry dirt!! The whole time we were singing in out flooded tents “You’ll come like the rain! You’ll come like the rain!!” My favorite miracle that happened was on Sunday. For lunch the meal for the people to come was bread rolls. They had 1,500 rolls and 2,500 people. Every person ate a whole roll! Haha yay!! There were miracles in our mist and we didn’t even know it until today!!
