"...The team are absolutely filled with Holy Spirit, doing a supernatural job to get food, aid and education kits to our schools and other schools. We're able to rebuild government schools, rebuild houses, rebuild houses of prayer. Through the devastation, we see Jesus is King, Jesus is Lord..." -Heidi Baker

Charisma: What has the Lord shown you through this devastation?

Heidi Baker: When you live in a country that's been hit with two cyclones in approximately five weeks, your heart breaks. The first thing I want to say is our hearts just break for the people. We feel the pain and devastation. Friends of ours have lost their homes, their loved ones, their educations (through destroyed schools). Our hearts break, we feel the pain of the people in Mozambique. We've lived in Mozambique for 25 years now. We travel some, but this is our home and we're really feeling deeply for this situation here...

Charisma: What have you seen your team do this week to help them?

Heidi Baker: I have seen the most incredible group of laid-down lovers of God that you can ever imagine. I've seen the Mozambican women just rise up and just go, night and day. Just see them going non-stop. I see the international team: our pilot, Kelly; Liz, our farmer; Pastor Pedro, I see them going ... We are the feet on the ground, and we are going. We thank God for the partnership of Iris Relief, an extension of Iris Global, just going together, doing logistics. The team are absolutely filled with Holy Spirit, doing a supernatural job to get food, aid and education kits to our schools and other schools. We're able to rebuild government schools, rebuild houses, rebuild houses of prayer. Through the devastation, we see Jesus is King, Jesus is Lord, and I have never seen such beauty in the midst of tragedy. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
