Answers To Prayer

 

 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 them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. ~ Matthew 10:29-31

    The next answer to prayer was that I had been praying regarding the upcoming birth of our little girl Claudia and her need for clothes. Well my brother just recently had a little boy a few weeks ago and asked me if we wanted our baby girl clothes back. Before we left for Italy, we had given him and his wife our baby clothes in case they had a girl. I had completely forgotten about them, but the Lord didn't! So when my brother reminded me of them, I just had to chuckle because the Lord again, met the need and also a dear friend offered to give us back our infant car seat we had given them and they were not using. (I also had not even thought about that car seat). So the Lord met 2 more needs yesterday regarding the birth of our new baby and I'm so thankful that He cares about the details in our lives and enjoys meeting needs for us as a Father. I'm thankful that when we let Him be an active part of our lives, He really is involved in all areas and shows Himself to us in special, unmistakable ways.

 Thank you for praying for us - the Lord is opening many doors for our ministry to Italy and we are thankful and will update as we can.

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 ...

One Day At A Time

I wanted to send you this poem today, and I remember it sitting on my mother's desk for many years before she died. She was always encouraged by this poem and I hope you will be encouraged with its truths along with me... "One Day at a Time" One day at a time, with its failures and fears, With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears, With its portion of pain and its burden of care; One day at a time we must meet and must bear. One day at a time to be patient and strong, To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong; Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease; It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace. One day at a time - but the day is so long, And the heart is not brave, and soul is not strong, O Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way; Give courage and patience and strength  for the day. Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet; "Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to m...

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.  T...
