In our last newsletter, we wrote about one of our students who was healed of chronic migraines during our winter SALT conference. We are happy to report that Colby is still migraine free & God is getting all the glory as he shares his story with friends & family.
After returning to campus, we asked Colby to share with all of Chi Alpha at one of our large group gatherings. After sharing his story, he asked if anyone there needed healing as well. A girl who had only been to two gatherings raised her had & we began to pray for healing.
When we were done praying, the student began weeping. She shared that the day before she had fallen & hurt both knees so badly that it was difficult to walk. As she cried in excitement, she also began to jump up and down. God healed her as well! Thank you, Jesus!
A few weeks later during the musical worship time of one of our gatherings, I started to sense that God was wanting to speak to someone who had experimented with some sort of ouija boards or tarot cards. I felt God saying that this had allowed darkness into their lives & that he wanted to set them completely free. Though I was nervous, I really felt that this was God.
I shared & asked anyone who felt that God was speaking to them to raise their hand. The sweet girl right next to me lifted her hand high & as she turned to look at me, I saw tears rolling down her face.
Her d-group leader & I were able to step out to talk with her. She shared that though she had felt she should stop using her tarot cards a few months before, she never got rid of them. She felt that they had been allowing spiritual darkness in her life & committed before God to get rid of them & to submit herself fully to the Lord.
After sharing with us, she decided to share with the rest of the body at the end of the gathering. It was such a powerful moment. To God be the glory.
God is still up to the super natural. But it’s not at just at UTK. What may God be willing to do in you & your church? Will you be bold to pray & believe?

AN UNEXPECTED TRANSITION
We want you to know how grateful we are for your prayers, encouragement, and support. Today, we have some important news to share regarding an unexpected transition in our missionary journey.
Regrettably, due to an unforeseen conflict we encountered between New Zealand income-tax laws and U.S. tax regulations, we unexpectedly have had to leave New Zealand. Despite consulting multiple tax accountants for months in search of a workable solution for our situation, we were unable to find one that worked for us. This development caught us completely by surprise and has been quite difficult for us to process!
Our hearts remain with the people of New Zealand, and we continue to run the online evangelistic outreach that has been so effective in reaching many for the Lord. As we grieve the loss of what we thought our lives and ministry would look like, we trust that God is still leading us, and He has a new and broader direction for our family.
In February, the Assemblies of God World Missions reassigned us to work with Network211, the ministry that has already been partnering with us in the Auckland evangelism outreach. Praise God, to date the Auckland online outreach has seen over 2,000 evangelism responses and over 300 discipleship engagements! Through this transition, we will continue overseeing the Auckland online evangelism and discipleship engagement while also assisting Network211with its broader outreach efforts around the world.
Network211 is a dynamic AGWM ministry committed to using 21st-century technology to communicate the 1st-century Gospel. Its online outreach extends in multiple languages to people in over 244 countries and territories! Since its 1997 beginning, this ministry has seen more than 3.8 million evangelism responses and over 575,000 discipleship connections. We are humbled to play a role in helping expand this impactful mission!
While we are heavy-hearted that our time in New Zealand has come to an unexpected close, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving as Assemblies of God World missionaries. We are so thankful to have ongoing ministry engagement with the people of New Zealand, as we work to share Christ’s love and message of hope with many more people across the globe.
Thank you for standing with us through every step of this journey! Your prayers and support mean the world to us, and we are honored to partner with you in sharing the Gospel. Together, we will continue spreading God’s message of hope and salvation to those who need it most!

Believing for the miraculous!
Can you cover our family in prayer for health? We are still battling sickness. At the moment, a week long stomach virus is circulating through our family and sweet Acacia (our 6 year old) has pneumonia again for the 4th time. We would appreciate more prayer, and please feel free to share this request with anyone willing to war for health with us. Medical care in our country isn’t the best; Mozambique is the 8th most underdeveloped country in the world, BUT God is the great physician! We are believing for the miraculous.
Our Olive is 3! On May 5th our little Mozambican/American celebrated in the park with some other missionary kids. She is a joy to raise!
Last week Matt had the opportunity to travel and be with the leaders of the national churches from all of southern Africa. Such an honor and a humbling experience to speak on discipleship and missions to National Church leaders from Angola, Namibia, Lesotho, Zambia and many other countries. Matt had pastors come up to him afterwards saying they felt convicted to implement more discipleship in the churches of their nation. Praying for the miraculous in these nations.
Bonus: two of our Mozambican interns traveled with Matt to help translate for the Portuguese speaking people. Neither of them had ever traveled before (exciting!) and it was an incredible experience for them to rub shoulders with such faithful men and women of God on the continent.

We currently have teams of college students from 3 colleges in the USA here working on campuses with us. We are praying that many Mozambican college students will experience Jesus for the first time!

It’s not lost on us that we couldn’t live and serve in Mozambique without your prayer. Thank you so much.
