Mrs. Haynes4Italy

Please pray as my laptop computer has crashed despite our best efforts to save it! My brother is going to look at it this week and Lord willing, be able to fix it! But that means, there will be no Rise and Shines sent out until I'm able to retrieve the files and transfer them to another source. It also affects our other sites we are working on building as well, so please pray as this is quite a frustrating problem when we don't have the finances to replace an entire computer right now. God knows our situation, and just like I said in my last post about my prayers that the Lord answered, I'm thankful to have a need so that I can see God work as only He can.   I pray for all of you dear readers as well, that God will work in your hearts and lives in a special way and that somehow, this blog can be a blessing to you, as it is to me.   :) Merry Christmas :) 

   I know that last time I wrote to you all, I asked for prayer regarding our missions site and for the finances to be able to renew the hosting for the year. Well, yesterday when I checked my mail, I had an email from our site's web host saying thank you for your payment and that it has gone through successfully and now our site is back up and running! We still have not had the finances to pay for this, so we have no idea where this came from, other than an answer to prayer and if someone reading this is responsible for being an answer to prayer, THANK YOU! (See for yourself haynes4italy.com ) What a blessing it is to see the Lord answer prayer in ways you could not imagine on your own! That's why I truly do try to keep the attitude of thanking the Lord for the needs we do have, as they are opportunities for Him to get glory and show us His power and great love for us - and you know, He has NEVER failed us one time!  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of

Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother)  Are you the kind of person that sets goals for yourself?  If so, what kind?  How are you doing in meeting those goals you have set up?  Do you even think goals are important, or are you of the opinion that they really aren't necessary?  For some people, everything they do is geared toward reaching their goal, and it becomes their life passion.  For others however, they seem to think that anything good that comes about is stumbled over and never really happens on purpose.  Let's look at this interesting topic today through the eyes of the apostle Paul in Phillipians 3:8-10.  Just what was his goal… Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord:  for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him , not having mine own righteousness , which is of the law, but that which is

November/December 2013 Haynes Family, Missionary to Italy Hello Everyone and God Bless, Even though I am not currently “on the field”, the harvest is everywhere around and I am not out of the fight!  Although my family and I have continued to have our share of trials we are still pushing onward—just like many of you reading this letter.  I am happy to state I have had answered prayer in the past few months and also happy to state our church is having a mission’s conference in December.  Also, this prayer letter I am happy to inform everyone we are having another girl:  Claudia Mandela Haynes….(Mandela was the town where we lived in Italy) I know some people might not understand/agree/like, etc, etc everything each other does or HOW they perform the task God has given them, but people are still pushing for the Lord Jesus Christ which is a blessing.  Even though I might not be overseas, there is plenty of work to be done right here in the USA.  I have greatly enjoined street p

Today is my mother's birthday, and she would have been 54 years old today. She has been with the Lord for 5 years now and my children and I decorate the little dwarf Christmas tree we planted a while ago for her birthday every year. This year, my little girl, Chloe, crocheted a beaded garland for Grandma's little tree. (You can see it a little bit in the picture) Mom's favorite time of year was Christmas and the house was always beautifully decorated for the season. Memories always flood my heart and mind of her and all the things we did together and even though the memories sometimes bring tears, I'm thankful that I have the memories. Thankful that my Mom left me a goodly heritage. Her testimony and ministry has been able to be a blessing and help to women all over the world, even after her death. I'm so thankful to be a part of that. Psalm 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.  Thinking of my mother's in
