Mount Redeemed, Mozambique

Interceding for the Yao Villages
Spent yesterday resting, praying and fasting. There is a mountain not too far from our home that was once called, “Mount Witchcraft,” but was renamed, “Mount Redeemed” by the staff here on the IRIS base. From this mountain you can see the villages of Assumane, Kazigwa and beyond. Jesse and I were thinking about taking a walk up to the mountain, but I’ve been a little under the weather and weak, so we road motorcycles up the mountain, even though there weren’t good trails. We went up to “Mount Redeemed” to pray over and intercede for the Yao people in all of the Yao villages from Assumane north to the border of Tanzania. It was a powerful time of prayer and God’s presence and power was very evident as we stood in the gap on behalf of the Yao people, asking God to remove blindfolds that Satan has placed upon them, that they may hear and respond to the gospel of Jesus, as He gives us open doors to evangelize and disciple in these villages. It was an intense time of spiritual warfare as we asked the Lord to loosen the grip of the principalities, powers and strongholds of witchcraft and such over the people’s lives. Please join with us in prayer for these thousands of people in hundreds of villages. Prayer changes things! This is a fact!
