Featuring: Hope Now Ukranian Orphanage

God setteth the solitary in families...Psalm 68:6

kid's from Shpola Orphanage

Today I was introduced to Hope Now Ministries which is focused on showing the love of Jesus to orphans in Ukraine. They work with orphanages to meet children's basic needs while building loving relationships with them. I was saddened to learn that right now, there are about 750 institutions housing over 100,000 orphans in Ukraine and the majority of them were abused or abandoned by their parents.

I learned that in Ukraine, after 9th grade, children "graduate" from the orphanage and many of these kids without a support system and without Jesus, just end up in street gangs, prostitution, and drugs.
This is where Hope Now Ministries comes in...and you too! Please keep reading!

God speaks many times throughout Scripture of His love for children and how He wants us to not offend them or discourage them. Hope Now Ministries provides a means for you to encourage and sponsor a child who no longer has a family! What a blessing to do something that requires so little of us, but will make such a lasting, eternal impact! 

 Shpola Orphanage in the Cherkassy region offers a unique way to connect the love of Christ to His children in Ukraine.
You can click here to learn more about the wonderful opportunity that  you have for helping sponsor a child in the Ukranian orphanage.
Orphan Sponsorship focuses on providing individualized care for each child from nutrition, to health/hygiene, to counseling, all while exposing them to the Gospel!
 Amen to that!
My heart breaks as I learn of the many needs at Shpola orphanage. They provide both education and housing for up to 200 children, aged 6-16 years, and I hope and pray that you will join me in prayer for Hope Now Ministries and the children there, as to what God wants you to do to be a part of leading children to Him and changing lives for His glory!

There is a great work going on in Ukraine and GREAT WORKS HAVE GREAT NEEDS! Please visit their website and learn more about their work going on and the many ways you can get involved right now!

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
