Our Month: Pensacola to Picayune



 We had a busy month with alot of spiritual battles, but despite it all, the Lord was faithful! We were blessed with a surprise at a church we visited to meet up with other dear missionary friends, the Galioto family, who minister in Sicily. We had a great time of fellowship with them as well as some other friends, the Mooberrys who were missionaries in Brazil and it was great to catch up with them as well. We are always thankful for encouraging fellowship!

So May had us in lower Alabama and the Florida panhandle again and then to Mississippi. This next month we head to east TN and Virginia for another full month...so please keep us in your prayers for safety on the roads! 


This is the sweet face I get to look at in the car - I'm so blessed!

Claire got sick on this trip with a bug that was going around a church. She handled it pretty well despite still being on the go.

The prophet's chamber in Saraland, AL had a pot in their kitchen that Claudia decided was the perfect toy during our stay there!

I asked the Lord to help me think of a way to help the children with their table manners, since we are always eating with other people now. So, He gave me the idea to put a chair for Jesus at the table so they would use their best manners for Him - just as if Jesus Himself were sitting there. The kids absolutely LOVED the idea, and are doing a much better job of showing Jesus how well they can behave at the table and be thankful for the food He gave them as well as have a God-pleasing conversation as a family.
Here is Jesus' place at the table...the children are very adamant that Jesus has a chair at every table we eat at now! 
Chloe rides up front now and enjoys the extra space to do school and her crafts while we drive!
Clarke set up his little station like Dad to make calls and help schedule meetings.

     He triumphantly said he booked two meetings for us that day! Great work :) 

    Please continue to pray for us on our journey to Italy - the field truly is white unto harvest and the laborers are so few there! Please pray for our health as well. Thank you for keeping up with us and please stay in touch! Ciao :)

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
