Dear Friends of Tommy & Sylvia Hays and Messiah Ministries,
After last weekend's ministry in Georgia, the Pastor at New Covenant Church told me in his words what we've been hearing in the cities and nations where the Lord has been sending us: "Praise God! This was just what we needed, right on time. God's Word and the Father's heart in the power of the Holy Spirit for our church and our city!" The Holy Spirit is preparing the Body and Bride of Christ in this hour in exciting ways--freeing us from the hurts and chains of the past and awakening us to our calling and destiny. Through the marriage of inner healing and prophetic ministry, the Lord is anointing the people of God in power and love to send us into the harvest of souls.
Everywhere the Lord sends us in ministry, we are seeing His power bring breakthrough in lives. A few months ago, an Army Major veteran of the war in Vietnam came to our meeting on forgiveness in West Virginia. He'd never been able to forgive himself and fully receive God's forgiveness. As we prayed that night, God broke into his heart and set him free of bondage he'd carried for fifty years. Not only healing in his heart and spirit, the Holy Spirit healed his body, as he came to church Sunday morning without his cane and sharing his testimony of spiritual, emotional, and physical healing--healing from the inside out!
Just a few weeks ago, a young woman in the Yukon started off the morning caught with a man being taken off to jail, but she chose to come hear God's word instead of turn away in shame. She wept through the message of the Father's love and mercy. She gave her life to Jesus and we baptized her in the stream with shouts of joyous praise that very day!
We could share so many more stories of the Lord's healing love and power breaking into people's lives as we share the message burning in our hearts: Like the young man two days ago in Florida miraculously healed to full range of motion in his arm and complete freedom from extreme pain or the couple who came for prayer ministry not speaking to each other but left embracing each other with freeing forgivness and renewed hope. Like the lives changed every day through our Prayer Team led by Heather Bulter in Wales through the internet and the weekly gathering of prayer for the peace of Jerusalem led by Bob and Doris McCray. Like the teams of prayer partners, loving and healing in Jesus's name, trained and equipping for prayer ministry through Messiah Ministries. Like so many more in this season of anointing and acceleration of God's healng love and power being released.
Will you help with your prayers and support to keep carrying this message of hope and healing to a hurting generation? Like missionaries to America and the nations, we raise our own support, desperately dependent upon God and those whose lives are touched through this ministry the Lord has entrusted to us to provide for our ministry.
To fulfill our calling, we need your regular support on a monthly basis and as the Lord leads, stirring up a joyful and generous spirit to join with us in this ministry of God's healing from the inside out. Some give $10, some $100, some $500 a month and specific amounts from time to time as the Lord reminds our friends of His impact on their lives and His desire to continue to impact others. However you're led, please know we are so grateful to you for your prayers and support, of any amount, that enable us to fulfill our destiny in Christ through Messiah Ministries.
May our God pour out His favor and blessing upon you and those you love with great abundance and empower you to fulfill your destiny in Christ, in Jesus' name.
In the Love of Jesus,
Tommy & Sylvia Hays

Special Note: Friends, in just a few days, I will be flying to the nation of Estonia, a former Soviet Republic. The Superintendent who oversees all the Methodist churches in the country has invited us to come minister to and equip the ministers and church leaders for inner healing and prophetic ministry to impact the entire nation. They are not able to pay our way but the Lord has called us to come. Due to some health issues, Sylvia is not able to come as planned, but I wil be going with the support of our ministry partners. Would you prayerfully consider joining with us with your support right away for this mission and the others like it, where we are being sent into the harvest? God bless you!
Be empowered, equipped, and encouraged to fulfill your destiny in Christ!
