Answer to Prayer for Clarke

The other day my little boy, Clarke who is 4, mysteriously got tears in 2 of his church shirts of which he has a very limited supply. So I did my best to mend the tears, but with them being so jagged and in such obvious places, they weren't mending as well as I would have liked. So after doing my best, I prayed to the Lord for some new clothes for Clarke, especially church clothes and left it at that. That was Thursday night....
On Saturday, we went to visit some family and that night when we came home, there was a bag on our doorstep and when we opened it, it was full of little boy clothes just Clarke's size! I later received a text message from the friend who dropped them off for us from another lady that she knew who had a little boy that outgrew his church clothes and they thought of us!!! God truly answered that prayer for me and just in time for church on Sunday! I was sure to tell Clarke when he woke up that God sent him some new clothes and answered our prayers! He was so happy and threw his little arms around my neck and said, "Thank you, Mom, for pwaying"!

I always want my children to know and see how much God cares and provides for them. Some people don't share what they are praying for with their children (obviously things they can handle) and then they do not learn to pray or get to see God work and move to answer their prayers. Build their faith in the Lord, and teach them to pray by letting them hear you pray and pray with them! Teach them that they can trust the Lord with their cares and needs and then they will learn that God does care and hear them no matter how big or small the request! Amen!

Haynes Family Prayer Letter - October 2018

October 2018 Dear Supporting Churches and Friends, Got some good news to report in from this past month.  First, I will tell you about a great project which Justine is doing  for two orphanages in Rome. A while back, somebody gifted Justine about 100 skeins of yarn (that’s one of those yarn thingies for all you guys out there).  Justine was praying about using the yarn to make something on a large scale for a group of people, but also using it to get the Gospel of our Lord Jesus to that specific group .  One of Justine’s heroes is Dorcas because she made garments for the poor as her ministry, which ultimately brought Glory to God when Peter raised her from the dead in Acts 9.  Justine got in touch with an orphanage in Rome which currently has 80 kids living there. Justine explained everything to the director and they were THRILLED about handmade scarves and gave us the “green light” to send everything.  The director even told us to m

Senses Secured

RISE AND SHINE FOR JESUS! By Pam Iannello (my late mother) "Senses Secured" Proverbs 7:1-5 (KJV) My son, keep my words , and lay up my commandments with thee. [2] Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye . [3] Bind them upon thy fingers , write them upon the table of thine heart . [4] Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman : [5] That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words . As I studied this portion of scripture I was heavily struck with the importance of having our senses saturated with the Word of God. You see, sexual sin often begins with unguarded eyes, hands, and hearts… And knowing that the rest of this chapter vividly deals with the unhealthy situation that occurred between a simple young man and a strange woman, it is no wonder that the Lord opens the story with strong scriptural advice! Truly, it is a perfect text to teach young

Self Discovery

Rise and Shine for Jesus! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother) "Self Discovery" Today there is so much emphasis on self! Self-esteem and self-discovery are two highly discussed topics among the so-called "experts" of the world. People actually believe that if you don't put self first, it's unwise and unsafe. Supposedly, the more you are consumed with self, the stronger you are as a person. Has anybody given any thought as to whether or not self-centeredness is dangerous? Has anybody stopped to consider where an obsession with self would lead you?? Let's see what the real Expert on self would tell us as we turn to the Word of God for a right understanding... Psalm 100:3 (KJV) Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. I love the simplicity of the Word of God! The Bible clearly states that God is our Creator; we did not create ourselve
