Our Missionary Kids
Living in Lichinga, Africa. In Mozambique, Lichinga is the town that we live in. The town is pretty small, but there’s a market, some small stores, an internet café and some restaurants and hotels. There are also a couple of supermarkets we buy food from. But we live away from town. We have to drive five minutes to get in town. We live by the airport so we hear planes sometimes. We don’t have running water or electricity, so I have to pull water from the well outside. There are turkeys and chickens outside all the time. We also see lots of cool insects and lizards (and my favorite, chameleons). I play outside a lot, and play with my missionary friend, Elias. He’s from Australia. We play guitar a lot and we also play soccer with the village kids. We live up in the mountains, so it’s cool most of the time. There’s a cold and hot season. The cold season is dry and the hot season is wet. At the house we eat lots of normal food, things like burritos and tacos. Also spaghetti, pasta, pizza and other food. This is what it’s like in Lichinga, Mozambique. The boys from a nearby village called, “Assumane” come often to our house. They teach me some Yao and I read some verses from the Yao New Testament to them. Another thing I have had fun doing is going on dirtbikes to track villages. I ride on the back and take pictures and video along the way. Then my dad stops and marks the village name on his GPS. Living in Pemba, Africa. Living in Pemba is a lot different from Lichinga. We live right by the ocean, so it is hot and humid all the time. We go to the beach a lot and swim. We live in a huge IRIS Ministries compound with other missionaries. There are lots of papaya and mango trees on base, so we eat those a lot. They also have a big cafeteria where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every morning, Monday through Thursday, we have classes at 8:00 am where we have worship, and a speaker. A guy named Charles Stock has spoken there. Rolland and Heidi Baker speak sometimes, too. Then we have lunch and the afternoon is free. Sometimes there will be a class in the evening, too, but not every night. So a lot of times, we have the evenings free, too. I like to hang out with the children adopted by IRIS. It’s very special to me. This is what it’s like in Pemba, Mozambique.

Lichinga. Hello everyone! I’m a missionary in Africa. I live in Lichinga, Mozambique. My house is white. It has a metal roof. I have a room with a bunk bed on the left. Ahead you’ll see our school desks. For the door we have a curtain. Let’s step out to the hall. At the end of the hall to the right is Jesse and Tanya’s room. At the left end is the bathroom. Where we are looking is the room mom and dad stay in. To the right is their bed. Now we don’t have electricity (or running water) so we have to flush the toilet with buckets of water and wash our hands with well water and something to soap with.

Lichinga, Africa. We have no electricity in Africa. Barely any kids get to go to Africa. In some places there’s electricity. We saw baboons and wild deer. Pemba, Africa. Same thing, but, God called us to Pemba, also. I went swimming. We made an ant park.

MOZAMBIQUE 2009 - Healing Update

Healing Update
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post about a child being brought to Jesse and I for prayer at the church in Assumane. The child was about eighteen months old and had never urinated or defecated, but only continued to vomit. We just received word from Lichinga that the parents of that child brought her to the IRIS Base, saying that after that Sunday when we prayed for her, that she “pooped” five times! Praise the Lord! The child was brought to Debbie Wilcox for more prayer, as she hadn’t defecated again for a couple of days I guess. It is good that Debbie was able to pray more for the child. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, and He continues to heal sick people today. We stand amazed that He chooses to use us, His followers, as instruments of His healing.

MOZAMBIQUE 2009 - Made It To Pemba Safely

Made It To Pemba Safely
On Sunday evening, we pulled into the IRIS Ministries Base safely. It was a thirteen hour trip across Mozambique. We were four hours on paved roads from Lichinga to Marrupa. Then about seven hours on washed out, crazy roads with sand traps and very sketchy log bridges over rivers. And then another two hours on paved roads from Montepues to Pemba. Our wheel bearing came very loose from the seven hours of rough road driving and only started making a whole lot of noise as we entered Pemba. But praise the Lord! He sustained us and kept our vehicle intact.

.
We live in a house here with Jesse and Tanya. We actually have electricity and running water, which is nice. There are no windows, only screens on our house in Pemba as the weather is hot and humid. Pemba is right on the Indian Ocean. Our house is in a gated compound where other students live in houses, too. Our school schedule isn’t too crazy. We have classes all morning long from Monday through Thursday. The cool thing is, there are awesome times of worship before the teachings, where the glory of the Lord just falls. We have been sitting under the teachings of Charles Stock, Heidi Baker and Rolland Baker this past week. They have been imparting many wonderful things of God to us. We have been studying the Scriptures with them, and reading books that are required reading on our own. Our worship and teaching times are held in a gazebo with a grass roof. Often the wind blows through as there are no walls. We have evening sessions a couple of times a week. On Fridays, we do practical missions; I teach carpentry at the other IRIS Ministries Base. It is such a blessing to be here to just receive and get recharged for the next season of our journey as full-time missionaries in Africa. We were so blessed to receive a scholarship for our family to attend the IRIS Harvest School of Missions. God’s favor is truly with us, and we are celebrating in that fact.

.
We were able to go to the beach and swim in the Indian Ocean. The kids along with Antoinette Wilcox all had a blast swimming in the warm, shallow water. Jesse and I attempted to go spear fishing, but only saw small schools of fish. We will need to take a trip by boat, with our spear fishing gear, to an island where there are many coral reefs and try again. God is doing amazing things in and through our lives. Our children are able to attend all of the classes with us as well, and as a family, we are able to just sit at the feet of Jesus. He is so good to us.

MOZAMBIQUE 2009 - Planting Seeds...Proclaimers to Chiefs

Planting Seeds…Proclaimers to Chiefs
History was made today as we continued to move forward on what God has laid on our hearts to do before rainy season. Between SIM here and Lichinga and the Bible Society in Malawi, we were able to obtain five “Proclaimers,” which again are audio solar-powered New Testements in the Yao language. We felt the Lord directing us to bring these “Proclamiers” to certain chiefs in certain villages that we have been scouting out.

.

We visited four chiefs in four villages: Lussanhango, Matemangue, Tchekelange and Chiwaya. All of the chiefs were very glad that we came to visit them and extremely happy to receive the gifts of the “Proclaimers.” At the first village of Lussanhango, the chief and about 50 other people from the village who had gathered prayed and gave their lives to Jesus after we presented them with the gospel of Christ. IT WAS AMAZING. We came to plant seeds, yet reaped a harvest nevertheless. The chief even invited us to come start a church in his village. Then we ended our time together, letting them know that we will return after the rainy season to do more teaching and did tricks on our dirtbikes, which brought a huge applause. The chief in Matemangue was also very glad that we came to visit, and invited us to come back as well. He said that we were the first missionaries to have ever come to their village with the message of Jesus Christ. He and the other villagers said that they would like to think more about the offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. We encouraged them to continue to listen to God’s Word in audio form and think more about it. We headed to the villages of Ntuili and Majika, but the chiefs weren’t there. So we traveled to nearby Tchekelanje village, where the chief warmly welcomed us and our gift. He had never even heard the name of Jesus. He and a few others from his village prayed with us to receive Christ. PRAISE THE LORD!!! The chief in Chiwaya was also grateful, as were the others in his village who will now be able to hear the Scriptures in their own heart language. Tomorrow Victo will motorbike to Nangembele on his own to bring the last “Proclaimer” to the chief there.
.
We would love for you to press in with us in praying for these chiefs, and all those who live in their villages, that the seeds planted would be watered in prayer through the rainy season, and that there would be a great soul harvest as we return to continue to evangelize, make disciples and Lord willing, in the future, plant churches after the rainy season.

MALAWI 2009 - Majete Wildlife Reserve

Blantyre, Malawi
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
.Majete Wildlife ReserveHad to make a trip this week to Malawi, the country that borders Mozambique to the west, as we needed to apply for our three-month visas. Up until now, we have just had one month visas and had them extended for one more month here in Lichinga. Our family and Jesse and Tanya packed into “Freedom,” our 4X4 vehicle and headed about two hours south on mostly unpaved roads to the town of Mandima, then we headed to the Malawi border which is basically in Mandima and spent about an hour doing paperwork to bring our vehicle into Malawi and to have our passports stamped, then headed another three hours southwest to the city of Blantyre, Malawi, where we were only five minutes late to have our visas done that day.

Knowing then that our two day journey had turned into a three day journey because of the hold up with getting our visas, we decided to head another hour south to the Majete Wildlife Reserve. We paid a very small amount of Kwacha (money in Malawi) for the seven of us to drive our vehicle into the reserve and look for animals. We were excited to be able to see monkeys, baboons, nyalas, elands, waterbucks, sables, zebras, hippos and other animals. We all had a blast observing the African animals in their natural habitat. The children especially had a great time, as they love animals.

MOZAMBIQUE 2009 - IRIS Harvest School of Missions

Pemba, Mozambique
Sunday, October 11, 2009

IRIS Harvest School of Missions
We have been praying about what the Lord would lead us to do during this coming rainy season in Lichinga. It just so happened that Jesse and Tanya were hoping to make a trip to Pemba for a week or two, to help at the upcoming Harvest School, which they attended and completed two years ago, to help their friends who are leading the school, and to just enjoy the presence of the Lord. We had the idea to go with them, just to have a break, enjoy the beach (Pemba is a beautiful city right on the east coast of Africa, on the Indian Ocean), get to know the folks from IRIS some more, and hopefully ctach a few teaching sessions and worship with them.
.
The Lord had placed on our hearts that it would be awesome to explore the option of us attending the school someday. Then the thought came to us, “What if the Lord opened the door for us to attend the school which is less than two months from October to December, during the beginning of the rainy season?” So Jesse and Tanya made a call to Pemba. Peter and Debbie, the base leaders here in Lichinga, also sent out an email. We figured this was a huge fleece that we were putting out, and that it would have to be a supernatural work of the Lord for there to: (1) Be enough room at the school, as it is often packed to full with students, and (2) For us to be accepted to the school last minute, as the school starts tomorrow.
.
Wow! God is amazing. Everything has fallen into place for this to happen. There was enough room and we were accepted. Jesse and Tanya will be staying with us the entire time at the school, and will be on staff at the school. We have been in a season of giving and giving for years now. This short break of receiving more teaching from Spirit-filled believers, and just basking in the Lord’s presence during worship times resonates so much within us. We are so thankful to the Lord for opening this door for us. It is amazing the other things that have fallen into place as well. We have just had the title for our new vehicle transferred over to my name, allowing us to drive 14 hours across Mozambique to Pemba, with our family and Jesse and Tanya. We will leave for Malawi in two days to get three month visas, which will carry us through the time we are in Pemba at the school. After completing the school, we will be able to officially come under the umbrella of IRIS Ministries, as well as Whipple Creek World Missions, and will be able to have residency in Mozambique, meaning we don’t have to travel to Malawi every three months to extend our visas, which is costly and time consuming. Also, the first part of the rainy season, the men are in their machambas (gardens) all the time during the planting and early stages of the crops, which means from October to December, they would not be able to come to leadership conferences anyway. So it is God’s perfect timing to attend this school right now.
.
When we go to Malawi in two days, we will not only get our three month visas, but will also try to purchase more “Proclaimers,” so that we can still take them to the chiefs of the villages we have marked on our maps, before the rainy season and before we leave for Pemba. We will just arrive one week late to the school. But God has confirmed to us that we are still to accomplish this task before we leave for Pemba. God is so amazing! We will keep you updated on how things are going while in Pemba. Please pray for us during this time of rest and receiving, and that we will return to our ministry among the Yao villages near Lichinga energized by the Holy Spirit.

MOZAMBIQUE 2009 - The Road to Tanzania

The Road To Tanzania
Some years ago, when Jesse and Tanya first arrived as missionaries to Lichinga, Mozambique, the Lord had given them prophetic words about the road that runs north from Lichinga all the way to the Tanzania border. There are many Yao villages along this road, as well as Yao villages branching off of this road that have never even heard the name of Jesus. The prophetic words that came to them were that God is giving them that road to Tanzania…giving it to them in the sense that they were to be the ones to reach the unreached Yao people along this road with the gospel of Christ. We have sensed that we were to assist Jesse and Tanya in making this a reality, bringing acceleration to this promise to them, and have also sensed that these prophetic words are for us as well. This week, we made some real headway in seeing the fulfillment of this promise.

Scouting Trip from Assumane to Matemangue
Last week we went to the Department of Agriculture in Lichinga and purchased some maps. We began to build a huge wall of maps from Lichinga all the way to the Tanzania border. We are creating a war room in our house where we will intercede for these villages by name, marking them on these maps and noting the progress of each village. There are many missing maps, as we had to place an order for many to be made, but as we observed the section of the map closer to Asumani, we noticed two villages to the west of Assumane that we had never been to. They seemed a bit hard to get to, and believe me, they were. The first village is called Lussanhango and the second village is called Matemangue.
.

We set out a bit late in the afternoon for such a trip. Jesse, Victo and I all hopped on three motorbikes and headed up a road we had never been on coming out of Assumane. We asked people along the way, as there are many other trails and it is quite easy to end up on the wrong trail. I did bring my GPS to mark the roads. I have now rigged a 12 volt adapter to the battery of our motorbike, so that I can run the GPS without it running out of its’ internal battery on the road, which it has before on longer trips.
.
These roads are some of the most windy, treacherous roads we have ever attempted to ride on motorbikes. There were rivers we had to cross, as well as very questionable log bridges, where we had to balance our wheel in the middle of the logs to make it over the bridge. It was a lot of fun though. When we made it to these villages, the people looked at us as though they had never seen white people, which they probably haven’t. These villages are well off the beaten path, but the people were friendly, and we are excited to return to them to meet the chiefs and began to evangelize them.

Scouting Trip from Lichinga to Matchedje
Today we piled into Freedom, our new 4X4 vehicle, with a full tank of diesel petrol, and drove 240 kilometers from Lichinga all the way north to Matchedje, which is right at the Tanzania border, and then drove another 240 kilometers back to Lichinga. Most of the roads are unpaved, but aren’t in the worst condition ever. Many other roads we have traveled on have been worse. We started out at about 8:45 am and marked 56 villages on our GPS from Lichinga to the Tanzania border. It was an amazing journey and very exciting to see the prophecies begin to be fulfilled. There has been some work of evangelizing and discipling done by the Baptists, as well as YWAM in the past, especially from Lichinga to Lumbiza, which is I think less than half way to the border. So we made it our aim to actually plant seeds of evangelism on this trip, to the villages north of Lumbiza. We brought tracts in Portuguese and Yao and passed them out in every village from Lumbiza to Matchedje. The people who could read gladly accepted them and we believe that they will read them, even to their family and friends.

At a small village that is called, “Malawi,” we spotted a lady who had a hunchback working near her home. Our hearts broke for her, as we saw her struggling to walk, all hunched over. We stopped at the village and began to talk with her. Victo began to share the gospel of Christ with her in the Yao language. She had never even heard the name of Jesus before. She was very glad to hear the message of salvation in Jesus, and that she could be set free. We noticed that she had a large pouch, a witchcraft fetish, tied around her neck. We shared with her that she could not follow Jesus and witchcraft, and that in order to be completely set free, she would have to forsake the witchcraft and destroy the fetish. She was hesitant at first, as she said that it had been around her neck for many years. We explained to her that this thing was actually hindering her from being set free, and that for God to receive the glory, she would need to destroy it. She then tore it off from around her neck, and had Victo take the fetish and throw it in the latrine, where that garbage belongs.

.
It was then that the lady prayed and asked the Lord Jesus Christ into her heart, forsaking a life of sin. We also talked to her about how Jesus died not only to heal us spiritually, through salvation, but that “by His stripes we are healed” physically as well. As we laid hands on her for healing from her hunchback, she straightened up as the power of the Holy Spirit fell upon her. Jesus took away the pain from her chest, her back and her knee, and she stood there before us without a hunchback any longer. We had her bend over and stand back up straight a few times. We asked her what she was feeling. She said she felt a little sore in her lower back, which we were sure was because her body had not been used to standing upright like that, and that over the next week, God would take that soreness away as well, as He completes the healing work He began. It was a huge testimony to the greatness of God, and that today, just as in the days of the early church, the gospel of Christ was being attested to by miraculous signs and wonders performed through the hands of His apostles (sent ones).
.
There was also a young man of around 14 years old who saw what had happened, as well as some others who had gathered from the village to see what was going on. This young man could read in Portuguese and Yao. So we gave him some portions of Scripture in both languages and he agreed to read them to this lady who had just experienced new life in Christ.



.
The journey to Matchedje at the Tanzania border was amazing. T one point, we looked through the trees and saw a lovely green pasture. As we stopped the truck to observe it, we observed some animals moving in the field. As we ran to get a closer look, they turned out to be baboons hopping across the field and into the trees. Jonas took some cool pictures where you can see the baboons. We were also told by people in the villages that elephants were often seen in the area. We were excited about possibly seeing elephants, too, but ended up only seeing a big pile of elephant poop on the side of the road. We were still thankful for the wildlife that we did see, and know that we will see more of the wonderful animals of Africa as we travel in the future.

Scouting Trip from Chilugo to Ntumbule
On our maps from the Department of Agriculture, we noticed 9 more villages to the south and to the east of the areas we have already been traveling and ministering. We decided to take one last scouting trip on motorbikes with the GPS to mark them and pray about which ones to bring “Proclaimers” to chiefs before the rainy season. Yesterday we attempted to make this trip, but the front tire on Jesse’s motorbike went flat in the first village, Chilugo. Jesse has shown the Jesus film in the village of Chilugo in the past, and we have one man from this village in whom we are training at our leadership conferences at the base. As some guys in the village, set up for fixing flats began to patch a hole, it was odd to find out that Jesse’s tube had not one hole, but maybe ten holes all around the tube. Jesse has never had a flat on that motorbike, and only one thorn was found in the tire. We know that as people pass these tire-fixing stations, that often these people attempt to use witchcraft and curses to give people flats, so that they can get the business. We, though, believe that the blood of Jesus protects us from such things, yet still found it odd. Instead of fixing all of the holes, which would mean waiting a long time and paying more money, we decided to just have the couple of patches done that they had already worked on, ride back home, and go into town later to purchase new tubes for the motorbikes, to take them with us on these trips, along with our pump, so that we don’t have to wait for the tires to be patched in the villages..
So today we prayed up and headed out on this scouting trip again. Man, this trip made the trip earlier this week to Matemangue seem like a cakewalk. This was deifinitely some of the most difficult terrain we have ever attempted to ride. My motorbike broke through the wood slats on one bridge, make the front wheel head toward the river below. We had to cross other rivers with our motorbikes, one of which I slipped off of another make-shift “bridge” and stepped knee deep into thick mud, along with my motorbike getting buried in it. I bent my right foot peg on a rock, broke three spokes on my rear tire. Jesse and Victo also had a crazy ride on their motorbike. All that to say that we successfully made it from Chilugo to Ntumbele. The people of these villages were again very friendly. We marked these villages on the GPS. In some of the villages, we witnessed women performing witchcraft ceremonies. These villages definitely need Jesus. Our GPS mapping has been completed for this time before the rainy season. Now it is time to pray about which villages to return to next week, bringing “Proclaimers” to the chiefs of those villages. Please pray that the Lord would direct us to the right villages.

MOZAMBIQUE 2009 - Freedom - Our New 4X4 Vehicle

Freedom – Our New 4X4 Vehicle
The Lord made the way for us to purchase our new vehicle to take us around in Africa with about half of the money that I received a year ago as a lump sum settlement for my back injury. After we received the settlement, we sought the Lord as what to use the money for. He spoke to our hearts that we were to buy a vehicle to travel to the unreached people groups of Africa with, bringing the gospel to them. Originally we thought that it would just be one vehicle that we were to name, “Boldness.” But we then realized that the Lord was giving us a motorcycle, which we named, “Acceleration,” and eventually two vehicles, “Boldness,” which we will purchase in the future, and “Freedom” which is a 2002 Nissan Terrano 4X4 Turbo Diesel. As we prayed for a name for the vehicle, the Lord gave us the name, “Freedom,” as we believe that this vehicle will take us to bring freedom to those bound by Satan.

.
It is a beautiful dark green SUV, and only has 70,000 kilometers on it, which I think is under 40,000 miles. It seats seven with seat belts, but fits nine still comfortably, so our family and the Gellatlys fit nicely into it. We purchased it from a very respected missionary here in Lichinga. He was the second owner. The original owner was an ambassador from Belgium. The vehicle is in beautiful condition and handles the crazy roads here in Africa very well. They drive on the left side of the road, like in England, so I had to get used to driving a vehicle like this again. We had a couple of vehicles like that in Pohnpei when we were missionaries there. We praise the Lord for this huge blessing.

MOZAMBIQUE 2009 - Preaching in Assumane

Assumane, Mozambique
Monday, October 5, 2009

Preaching in Assumane
The Lord opened the door for me to be able to give the message in Assumane at the Sunday morning church service yesterday. I had a message that I was planning to give, but then I felt the Lord wanted me to ditch that one and preach another one two days before. I think one reason for the change in direction is because the chief and secretaries had recently been invited to the service, where the church would be officially started in Assumane. Knowing that the chief is not yet a believer and was going to be there, and possibly others from the village who were invited, I felt led to give a very evangelistic message, focusing on how we are all loved by God, and that God expressed that love to us by sending His Son to die for us.

.

.

We started the service, and the attendance was a little lower than before. The worship didn’t seem quite as exuberant, and there was a strange tension in the spiritual atmosphere in the village. I felt this tension last night, when after the Jesus Film showing, there was celebration in the streets surrounding, “Uniagu,” which is a very demonic ceremony, with witchcraft involved, where children of the village are initiated into “adulthood,” by being sexually molested (part of their sex-education) among other things. This is the sad truth here in the Niassa province among the Yao people. Yet we are beginning to see a real breakthrough, where numbers of people are coming to Christ and forsaking these demonic practices. There is also a veneer of Islam over these practices. Anyway, I continued to feel this tension in the Spirit, as I began to give the message; the chief and secretaries still not having arrived to the church service, which would be an important part of the official opening of the church.
.
I pushed through, giving the message to those who were there. Annelisa translated for me into Portuguese and Victo then translated into Yao...so you can imagine that messages are much longer in three languages. Many of the children were missing from the service, which makes us think it did have something to do with “Uniagu.” The adults present were very attentive to the message. And though no one came forward to make a first time decision to receive Jesus, many came forward for prayer for healing, and I believe that a good number of those people received physical healing. Jesse and I prayed in particular for a little girl who was maybe 18 months old, who had never been able to urinate or defecate since birth, but only continued to vomit all the time. As I held the little child in my arms, I believe that I was urinated on, which would truly be a miracle. It's pretty funny that I can find joy in being urinated on. It was also funny to hear Jesse pray, "Poop! In the name of Jesus!" Haha.

Also, while in Poland, Teri brought us over 250 little pins that say, “I am loved,” in Portuguese to bring to Mozambique and give to people. These pins fit in perfectly with the message about knowing that we are loved by God, and I had the other fellow missionaries go to each person present in the service. They were overjoyed to receive such a gift. I told them that when they look at the pins that it can remind them of the message that they heard about God’s love to us through sending His Son to die for us. I also told them that if someone asked them about their pin, that they could share the message of Jesus with them, too. Even though the chief and others didn’t show up today at the church service, which I believe had to with spiritual warfare that was going on, the service was awesome, and God was glorified. It was neat to hear the people from the “Church of Assumane” declaring aloud, “I am loved by God,” in their Yao language.
